If you so in love with the "better horse" why don't you spend time on their forums with others who believe the same thing. People buy evo's b/c the performance to dollar ratio is very good. Vipers/Vettes are cool but much more expensive and less practical. A 4 door 2 liter that keeps up on a road course with these cars is an impressive feat. 700whp evos are amazing but crazy expensive because the evo was not built to just go fast in a straight line but be an all around performer.

Once again to the person that started this thread about how fast can a Z06 be.
I think you better head over to the Vette forums and ask there. They will be gald to help you out a lot better than on this site. Most people on here always turn it into a heated debate about Evo vs whatever car you mention or ask a simple question about.
This is on OTHER CARS isn't it. I mean Evos are great cars guys ( shows in my sig I much I like them) but there are a lot of other great cars out there that people like to talk about without the comparision thing. God! Get over it and stay on topic.

Once again
The guy wants to know how fast a Z06 can be!! He didn't even say C5Z or C6Z.
He made no mention of an Evo.
Look at my last post I think that sums up the way I and a couple others on here feel. Come on guys we are on OTHER CARS!!!!!!!!

Maybe just maybe with the time wasted in those forums making irrelevant comparison and defending, you should go get yourself a another job so you can acutally afford a Z06. Instead of crying about how it's not practical with 4 kids.

I like the end of the BBC Vid where track times are posted and the stig gets the Z06 around the track only 2 seconds quicker than a FQ400 on stock MR suspension/tires w/AYC and an extra piston in each front caliper.
On the flip Z06's are very cool and becomming very common. GMPP has been hand-building LS7's round the clock all year now due to the demand. With the coming of the SC 600hp Vette and high production of current C6 Z06 alot of people will be able to scoop one up

It's actually 2.4 seconds. Do you realize how much 2.4 seconds is on such a short track? That is an ETERNITY. The Z06 ran 2.6 seconds slower than a Porsche Carerra GT.....that doesn't mean I would say "the Z06 is *only* 2.6 seconds slower than the $500,000 Carerra GT"

Damm!! Not to be an **** but I haven't seen a post where you don't defend a high displacement American vehicles. If you are devoted member of all of those forums as well it must take shiet load of time off your hands.

You don't see me crying some posters asked why I don't own a Z06? I answered anyways my heart is in a 98-02 Viper not a Z06 as awesome as they are.Again, I'm a carnut, not brand or make loyal. Have a great 07' and keep the judgement calls to a minimum, thanks

what a bunch of cry baby fanboys in here
you haters think the Evo was laid down by god and whenever it gets beat you go on and cry about how much cheaper it is and "add the difference in price for mods"...waaaahmbulance
guess what? when the z06 loses to an s7 or gt3, it's cheaper too, haha...and throw that difference in price for mods to the z06................
you get my point
it's lame
i can spend $15,000 in mods on a civic hatchback and spank your stock evo, lol
stock for stock the Evo is overmatched by even the c5-z06, yet you guys are crying about the c6-z06 destroying everything in its sights
