Agreed, that's a healthy way to look at this. Glad to see North American cars of any kind represented so well. Nice work GM.

A Veyron's top speed (your reply) is not relevant to the conversation considering the context of the car (Z/28) being discussed. Gearing specifically for track use combined with a very high coefficient of drag (which the Z/28 has) results in lower top speeds than most here would be used to reading in magazines. 99% of HPDE trackers will never see 160mph on a road course, maybe 140mph depending on the track and driving skill. So anything over 150mph is worth nothing other than mental masturbation for readers of car magazines. It is far more important to be in the powerband when accelerating out of a wide variety of corners than to theoretically attain a certain top speed. As a car fan you know the Z/28 cd is .39 right? You know that is the same as a Chevy Tahoe right? So why didn't you post that (educational/useful) instead of posting that a Veyron has a high top speed? Want an easy increase in top speed to pose and impress your pals? Just strip all the downforce creating aero and reduce the cd. You know there is no free lunch right? People who think top speed is relevant to this car simply chose not to understand it's purpose. The lack of comprehension gets tedious after 7 months, hence the cactus plant reactions. It's ok to raise the level of the discussion, I welcome you to do so (again). I'm not "defending" the Z/28 I'm pointing out the reality of why the OP saw 160mph on the 'Ring lap. |
