z06 corvette

Affordable US sportscar; great performance though it lacks the refinement of what it's trying to compete with. Features an hand built all-aluminum OHV 7.0L LS7 small block producing 505 HP @ 6300 RPM and 470 lb-ft of TQ @ 4800 RPM with a redline of 7000 RPM. The powerplant is hooked to a close-ratio 6 speed rear transaxle. It weighs in at around 3130 lbs and the chassis is made of hydroformed aluminum and magnesium. The body is made of composites and carbon fiber. It features fully independent suspension consisting of double wishbones on all four corners, dampeners, anti-roll bars, and two transverse single ply leaf springs instead of coil springs. The use of leaf springs in the Corvette is not to be confused with leaf spring suspensions used in trucks and older cars; they are two completely different things. The Corvettes transverse leaf springs serve the same purpose as coil springs in other vehicles, but they are lighter, allow for the vehicles mass to be closer to the ground, and allow for lighter anti-roll bars since they can assume some of that duty. They're main disadvantage is that they are more expensive than coil springs.

The Z06 offers very impressive performance for it's price; it's track times are on par with some of the greatest production performance cars in the world

The new C6 Z06 Corvette may lack the refinement of its European competition but on the track it can give them a run for their money.

Only rich snobs that aren't true auto enthusiasts would insult the new C6 Z06.

Corvette

An fast automobile (due to torque). Capaible of over-powering ANY import car that should try to take it on in a race (including skylines).

Corvette

A car that old people own because it brings back good memories since the car has been around since '53, not because they want women. Not only owned by old people though. Also owned by young people with good sense of style and knows a good performing car when they see one.

It is the real mans sports car, where you can feel the acceleration unlike any honda i've ever been in with that Vtec bulshit rev it up too 10 grand to get the horsepower, and help to support the japanese market succed is not on on my list. plus who said you could supe up a corvette, just like linginfelter, with a 7.0 liter twin turbo 0-60mph in 1.9sec. lets see the hondas do that!

"you roll up to a stop light in your vette next to a honda S2000, he revs it you laugh as the light turns green you punch it off the light and scream through the gears while the other guy is admiring his "body kit, shopping cart spoiler, and his vtec."

Too much car for any import to hadle.

Does that import driver really think he can park that corvette? He's not even worthy enough to look at it.
