The Z06 Edges out the GT3, has come back with track tuned shock-damping rates, and hasn't been tested on the track again. Not to mention the Z06 is running around with a full stereo, AC, Navigation system, etc etc.
The Z06 isnt even the top contender in the Corvette family. If we are compring to 911's and Ferrari's and everything else, might as well throw the ZR-1 in there.

Edit: Nevermind, the "blue devil" ZR1 did a time of 7:40 and the reg ZO6 did the 'ring in 7:43.
So as it stands the GT-R is still faster than the ZR1 and ZO6 around the 'ring, by 2 and 5 seconds respectively.

a VSPEC version of the GT-R is also planned for released, lighter and more hp. We are in the age of great performance cars, can't wait to see whats in store.

I don't care if the Chevette was free. You would not catch me dead in a 'vette. Here's why...
Corvette Guy

The Z06 ran that 7:42.99 with aweful tires, a standing start, the initial suspension setup, and 115 less horsepower. You cant think the the ZR1 wont run it faster then just 2-3 seconds...........
I say, lets wait until the rest of the world gets their hands on them at the track to see what they can do, not their factory drivers with their test mules.
Productions cars in a shootout.
Watch for
ZR1
Viper ACR
GTR
It will probably be in that order as well.

If they are anything like the previous generation they should hold this power without any problems whatsoever... built like crazy and solid as all hell

I don't own a corvette, yet.
I usually expect someone of a much younger age to make such a silly connection between what someone looks/dresses like and the vehicle they drive.
I find it pretty stupid to mock an Classic American like the Corvette.
