I bought a few Z06 w/Z07 packages a few years ago. coupe and convertible. IMO, the most dangerous car on the road. Thing is small and dangerous. Needs twice the tire it has on it. Had a 19 CTS-V with same motor and is a much better car.

embarassing for the z06. those mods, it has to have a least 150hp advantage, also has probably 800lb advantage as well. drag racing street cars in the future really will just be awd cars with autos IMO. 2wd cars cant hang

probably. But the z06 is not tailored for a dragstrip. |

Even with the crappy A8 the z06 has posted some mid/low 10's numbers stock, I assume that's a manual vs auto race?
The F90 is no joke, my car is pushing 750 to the wheels and even then I don't know if I'd want to line up with a stock one even on a perfect day |

I believe the quickest legit stock C7Z is in the 10.4's range with unicorn DA and star dust track prep with a tire. So that isn't too shabby. The F90 is a super stout platform - and for even a stock car - it is putting in some solid numbers. I have trapped 129.5 MPH. With a reasonable 60' - that is a solid mid 10 second car all day. |

Agree with you from an ET perspective, but the C7s trap speed is underwhelming to say the least. A car that should be producing 650/650 stock + mods and weighs 800 lbs less than the M5 should be able to produce 130+mph trap speeds. Some stock C6Zs trap 124 mph, not too far off the C7Z. I've always found the acceleration numbers of the C7Z to be disappointing. |

M5 is one fast car, no doubt. But, that vette sounds really nice.

This would be true if McLaren didn't exist.

that vette is A8. The A8 under full load it is actually very fast, the gripe we owners have with it is that the the gear doesn't engage the moment you flick the paddle. |

There were reasons why GM didn't use it - but I agree the C7Z needs a different trans - badly. The A8 has been pretty wonky. Poor response to paddle inputs and a four-five shift "lurch/delay" that has bothered stock and definitely modified C7Z owners. It also breaks at higher whp.
RPM makes a great aftermarket enhanced M7 - but the A8 doesn't have much (modifying) support. |

Is anybody surprised? You can't compete with 4 wheels producing power.
