The 5th gen forums are entertaining. When you're dealing with a car that every one and their grand mother owns there's a ton of dip sh*ts that have no idea what they're talking about. I come on here to share knowledge and to learn.. but usually I just end up laughing at what some other people are saying

Again, the C7 Z06 is an amazing car. Is it 20 sec. faster than the C6 ZR1? I highly doubt it. Be ecstatic if it 8-10 sec faster than the old GM king of the 'ring.

All that aside, we are not going to get a Z06 ring time for a very long time. They haven't had much luck with the weather for a while. |

1. This forum does get quite a bit of good info on just about anything. 2. There are some hilariously bad threads that you just have to read for the lolz. At the time the ZR1 ran wouldnt even being a few seconds faster be extremely fast |

Didn't realize this was a Whites Only establishment.
First time on the internet for some of you or what? What kind of differences are people expecting from a base z06 and a z07 equipped car in terms of track performance?

I'm guessing it will run about (or slightly better) than the '10 Viper time. I certainly think it has a shot at a 7:15:xx time. In the end, I really don't care because: 1) I will never drive on the 'ring 2) It is more car than I am driver 3) It is my dream car

Didn't they crash the Z06 at the ring? They will probably try again in the spring.

Pretty much every high performance car that has gone through extensive testing at the 'Ring has gone into the green hell a few times.

The Z06, at whatever trim, is F A S T around any track. Some of us don't need to see a "Ring a ding a ling" time to believe it.

Because it is the "General Automotive + Other Cars Discussion" sub forum. Would you rather have discussions about other cars with the owners of other cars or just with fellow Camaro owners that only read about other cars?

You guys think that GM may just go ahead and start producing the new Z06 with the 2.3l supercharger instead of the 1.7l in the coming years?
Sounds like that is all this car needs |

I believe they went with the 1.7 due to hood clearance. not sure if a 2.3 would fit. I could be wrong though but im pretty sure I remember that.
