It's official the C6 Z06 is BAD!!
When I went to the F1 race at indy there was a red one sitting in the back of a parking lot a little ways from the track. Sorta weird, I think I saw the EXACT SAME one today in town here. Yes, I know they aren't supposed to be out til october, but know that I live in KY, the same state where the vettes are produced. This vette had KY deler tags too.

I have more pics too for those who don't believe me.

the 2005 Busa is limited to 186mph. again you have to mod it.. the 1999-2000 Busa was the fastest they did not have limiter in 6th gear. but still not 198mph the Cover of Cycle world magazine back in 99 showed 194.6 on a stalker radar gun. Till today no stock bike has topped that. last time I checked 198 is faster than 186.

Its fun to know people in Detroit!!
I actually got a ride in one about a month ago. The car is incredible. Scary fast, and the braking/cornering is rediculous.
Comparing it to the vipers ive driven, its about as fast but much more refined.
You guys need to get in one of these ASAP.

Motor Trend test data is even better:

If that was taken in July, those aren't customer cars. The first customer car wasn't even built until August 17.
What are you talking about? It has 14-in 6-piston brakes in front. 60-0 in 104 ft. is awesome. With a car that light, and brakes that big, it's all about how sticky the tires are. With a UTQG of 220 they aren't extemely sticky.

Yeah Braniacs, and when did this become a bike vs car thread? A Hayabusa would spank ANY stock car how does that take away from 66K car that spanks every other car under 180K?
The car is awesome and from a performance standpoint and the times it posted at Nurburgring it is the best bargain PERIOD. With race tires it would have been in the 7.30 range at the ring beating times from modded Carrera GT's.
