Any liter class Japanese sport bike will handily out accelerate a z06.

It takes about - very fuzzy here - 170 hp to get into the 190's top speed wise, give or take...

Haul the uber-fast bike in your Lightning bed (and still be able to beat F-body GM's handily )

 

Screw a Z06. Be faster than an Enzo! Get a Hayabusa and Turbo-Charge it.

I think this Forum is about trucks, not bikes. What a stupid post man !

 

that is an awesome vid though.......seen it before.....almost unbelievable.

 

If they drop a blown 650HP motor into a 3300lb Vette, you'll need 25k plus into the motor and a serious turbo setup, add another 10k into the suspension, 4k into a tranny and yet another 2k into a built rear end, Total=41k plus 30k for the truck and you might as well buy the vette with a warranty and keep the L in the 12's where it's fun and safe and tow the vette to the track for a monthly beating. T

 

The weight target for the Stingray/SS is 2900lbs. The current Z0-6 is at an already low 3146. The current car easily runs 11's. The new one should see 10's right from the showroom floor. Not bad!

i already have one on order, codename "Bowtie Jihad". i'm going to try to have my pulley and filter ready, when it hits town, just in case it needs a little extra power or something

 

C6 Z06's at the track have not been impressive.. On the street is a whole different matter. $10,000 is a top long block and install (if that), not all the supporting mods to make it more than a 500hp truck.

Budget $20,000 and you might make it.

The Z0-6 is not built as a uni-dimensional drag race car. Not impressive? You should see that car perform on the open track. No offence, but to even compare a Z0-6 to a Lightning is a joke.

 

I agree with ^. There's just certain times you have to conceed to being out of your league, and a ZO-6 is just that type of vehicle. Like another guy here said, build a fox body mustang to do it, you'll get a race every time.

 

Bone stock... 11.5x @ 125+mph on stock rubber. That's not impressive? How many cars can drive off the showroom floor and do that? How many cars can do that under $75k? What would you have to spend on an L to go that quick (and that fast) on F1 radials (keeping the tires equal, and keeping everything street legal)?
