Corvette C6 Z06 vs 997 911 GT2

Driven by Chris Harris of Autocar, he does some 0-100mph runs to find which is fastest and then drag races them against each other.

:thumbsup: It does but i wouldnt think the Z06 would be that slow.. It's not exactly lacking in power now is it? Love the GT2 too but i find it hard to justify 130k+ GBP for a 911! For my money either a 911 C2S or if i could go all out a Turbo!

Well there wasnt a GT-R here and they used the lighter, faster GT2 not the Turbo. :D Lovely read though :thumbsup:

I really do admire the Z06's incredible performance for money but i guess Zuffenhausen beat Detroit clean and simple. Of course at double the price it very well should!

That worked. Thanks.

I have a very hard time believing, even though I saw it, that the Vette did so poorly.. Something was wrong with the Vette.

Well from what i read the Z06 is a hair lighter but has a bit less torque... I dont know he did mention he was surprised himself.

I am surprised too. Wasn't expecting the Z06 to be thrashed so badly!
The Z4M Roaster & Croup are gone!
It's E92 M3 from now on.
