For those that question the Corvette's handling....

They tested them all and the Z06 was on OEM runflats

(data borrowed from corvette forum)

1/4-mile:

Z06 11.8@122.
Exige S 12.8@107
GT2 12.0@118.
Ariel Atom 2 11.5@117
Noble M400 11.7@120.
Superformance Brock Coupe 11.9@119.

The track was Buttonwillow, Config 13, 2.7 Miles.

Lap times:
Z06: 2:01.00 (on true street tires (OEM F1 Supercars))
Exige S: 2:04.3 (on R's (Advan A048's))
GT3: 2:01.50 (on R's (Pilot Sport Cup's))
Atom 2: 1:58.30 (on R's (Advan A048's))
Noble M400: 2:00.40 (on R's (Pzero Corsa's))
Superformance Brock Coupe: 2:02.70 (on R's (Ecsta v710's))

The Z06 on R's would be sick.

 

Who exactly was questioning its handling? I thought it was common knowledge this car is amazing in all aspects of motorsports

 

Check some of the other threads. Even if everybody knows it, it's still a cool comparison.

 

exige s seems like an overpriced turd...

 

The z06 quarter mile.. someone on the chevy forums jus with slicks got the z06 into 10's. I'd say its a low 11 to mid 11 car easy.

The handling of course is damn good.

 

I like Noble M400 its one of the fastest cars besides Ariel Atom 2.

No question, the corvette is fast. It's never been an underdog when it comes to performance so I don't know what point is being proven.
