[/qb][/QUOTE]How is having a driver run the famous Nurburgring, then posting factual #s, considered "mag racing"? [QUOTE]Originally posted by 88DroptopGT: [qb] If you talking about the potential of a car and not modding it buy a Ferrari/Porsche and be done with it. [/qb][/QUOTE]Did you not read the list? Name a Ferrari thats above the ZO6s posted time, on a real course, [i]not some stupid slalom speed test.[/i] Of course, then again, I dont see the ENZO on that list, but thats a $1M car. You mention the Porsche... you do know what a Porsche Carrera GT costs, right? $450K I believe. Look man.. youre right that you can take a Cobra and mod it to hang or beat the new ZO6. IMO you sound like a typical GM hater (no offense)... which IMO isnt a true car enthusiest. I, along with everyone here giving props to the new ZO6, are true car enthusiests. I dont believe in brand loyalty.... I like anything that performs. Hell... if it was financially possible Id consider selling my SS for a 03/04 Cobra. (dont tell my GM buddies I said that) :p As far as the bystanders claiming the ZO6 had a S/C on it... I dont think its true. The C5 ZO6 isnt [i]that[/i] far from the C6 ZO6 on that list, but you have to consider the C6 ZO6 is STRIDES ahead of the C5 ZO6. [/qb][/QUOTE]What I still wonder about is why "The Ring" in Germany is regarded such a track of performance baseline when probably 1% of this board will travel on it (or race their own car on it for that matter). I'm not a GM hater at all. I just don't believe in spending $65,000 on a car when I'd rather wrench on a mustang. I don't understand why everyone holds this car in such high regard for such a steep price. Not many people will own this car, and even a smaller percentage will race it against people in the REAL WORLD. It's just what I see on the streets compared to times on a road course that is over 2,000 miles away from my garage. Worship it the Z06 all you want. Buy one and rub in my face that nothing can compete against it if that tickles your fancy. But until I see it mop on some domestic muscle around the Bay Area will I respect it. To me, it's just an invisible domestic supercar at an extravagant price. [/QB][/QUOTE]
