Motor trend finally got to test the C6 Z51 Vette.

[V. Barbarino]

got my motortrend yesterday.

The new C6 is so amazing that it's still the top car on the planet in terms of proformance, function and price.

Last years z06 came with 415 HP the Z51 which is the same as last years non z06 model has 400 hp and 400 torque

it's 75% of the z06 and less money.

0-60 4.3
186 mph
1/4 mile 12.7 z06 ran 12.4's, viper runs 11.9-12.3, most ferraris run 12.3 - 13.3, lambo will run 11.90's, gt 40 will dip 11.60. BUT THIS IS THE SLOW MODEL, WAIT TILL THE Z06 DROPS

to put it this way, there is not a car under a 100 grand that a vette won't beat on the track. Even the 120K porsches will loose. You'd have to get the gt 40 out to beat it.

get this the new z06 will have 515 hp next year.

The lambos and ferraris will for the most part loose to a vette on a street coarse (not the enzo) at a savings of 150 grand. Or 3 vettes.

Ferraris, lambo, viper, porsche's sales are not good at all since the vette came out in 97. The new c6 will just continue their slide, especially lamo who's cars handle like shopping carts.

Pretty impressive for an American car.
