![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Chevy pulled out the obligatory Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times to make the point: With Jan Magnussen, winner of the 2004 and 2005 Le Mans 24 Hour, at the helm, the Z06 clocked a seven-minute, 42.99-second lap of the 13-mile Green Hell, 16 seconds faster than a Z51-equipped C6. Porsche’s $440,000, 604-hp Carrera GT, with a seven-minute, 32.44-second lap, is the only production car to have gone quicker. For perspective, Lamborghini’s $283,000, 580-hp Murciélago clocked in at seven minutes, 50 seconds, and the $452,000, 671-hp McLaren-Mercedes SLR at seven minutes, 52 seconds. 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 ON SALE: Now BASE PRICE: $65,800 POWERTRAIN: 7.0-liter, 505-hp, 470-lb-ft V8; rwd, six-speed manual CURB WEIGHT: 3132 lbs 0 TO 60 MPH: 3.7 seconds (mfr.)

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: 2006 Corvette Z06! The new Zo6 is an amazing machine, I drove Corvette C5 and I loved the car but this new Zo6 must be a dream to drive. The time 7.42 min, there is a rumour the car had 550hp and not 505hp when they drove the car. Besides its a factory time, I rather wait for Sportautos officiell time. But there is no dubt, Porsche are going to have a hard time against Zo6. |

If you don't give a damn about brands or what ever and simply want a great sports car then this is the car to buy. There is no other car that offers this amount of power and performance for so little money. ![]() If the car is marketed right it can become a huge hit.
