Yes they are right as of now, #'s could go higher closer to launch this fall.

I like the price C/D has $62,500 I bet the real fuel economy #'s will be better

 

11.7 @ 127mph according to GM.

Time for the magazine racing with the Ford GT:

Road & Track
12.2 @ 122mph

Car and Driver
11.6 @ 128mph

Motor Trend
11.32 @ 131mph

That's a LOT damned closer than many here thought. I can't wait for the comparo.

Just think of the pressure Ford and GM are gonna be under trying to plot a way to get the mags a "ringer"...

Coletti might have picked the right time to retire...

 

11.7@127 that is sick

 

On thing is absolutely sure...

If you try conclusions with a C6 Z06 in a Ford GT, at the VERY LEAST you had better be at the top of your game or you're gonna be staring at 4 cute taillights and a set of crossed flags on a big old rear end in short order.

Whether or not you'll be staring at them anyway is now the only question left...

 

Man if they are trapping speeds like that then the new ZO6 will hit the 10s easy..

 

Heh...

According to most current track rules you'll have to put a cage in it to find out... DEAD STOCK.

It'll probably run a 13.4 at Lapeer though, and still get broomed.

PacerX <---- Lapeer Dragway hater. My backyard is a better track as long as I've mowed it that week.

 

I bet it's got more in it.

 

That just hit me!

Careful there, lest you ignite the wrath of all the Ford Fanboys. I said 6 mos ago this car was going to be a match for the vaunted Ford GT for basically half the price and they all scoffed and said "wait until the car comes out". Well, its basically out. Just the fact the two cars have equal power to weight ratios should be telling enough.

The argument back then was if the Blue Devil was going to match the GT, and then rumors started circulated about the Z06 and I was one of the first to suggest Blue Devil Smue Devil, the Z06 may just be too close for Ford GT comfort! All this from someone with no inside sources at GM. I want credit darnit!!!!!

Ford's problem: That darned overly complex, and heavy mod motor. Its already about 200 lbs heavier than the GENIII GENIV motors, then you add a blower on top of it?

Oh yeah, I fogot the Cobra is going to be a match for a base Vette, well that makes up for everything.


Economies of scale are marvelous things aren't they? They are the reason the automobile became affordable for the common man in the first place (i.e. the assembly line). Now the upper-upper-middle class can have the same performance as the lower-upper class, LOL.

Man I love Capitalism

 

Estimated price of 62,500 and 11.7 @ 127
