2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Races Porsche 992 GT3, Ducati V4 SP2, and Audi R8 V10 - Cammisa Drag Race

This drag race pits the new 2023 Corvette Z06, and its outrageous, 8600-rpm 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 against the world's fastest naturally aspirated, mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars - and one motorcycle:
Representing the 4-cylinder engine is the 15,500-rpm Ducati Panigale SP2, Ducati's top-of-the-line track-focused superbike.
The 6-cylinder Porsche 911 GT3 is the naturally aspirated benchmark at more than 125 hp/liter and a 9000-rpm redline.
And the Audi R8 Performance V10 Spyder RWD has an 8700-rpm screaming V-10 shared with the Lamborghini Huracan.
In this episode of Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay, Webby Award-winning automotive journalist is joined by SCCA Hall of Fame Race Car Driver Randy Pobst - and MotoAmerica Supersport Champion rider Josh Herrin.
And they might have attacked one another with a baseball bat.

@@backyardhooper06 not possible

[@pasmas3217]

@@backyardhooper06 the trick is (or at least thats what i have read) to be able to keep te wheelie on the exact angle that allows the entire weight of the bike to be on the rear wheel for max traction, and also with geining higher speeds to also use the air's drag forces to push the bike down for extra traction because a bike like that is capable of loosing traction in pretty high speeds. if he had the front wheel on the ground he loses too much weight on the rear not being able to gain the extra performance of the available power. so actually that is what he gained against others dragging the same bike. it is a very thin needle to thread, but done properly it gives great results. he has also used no elextronic assistance as that would either block him from doing the controlled wheelie and/or loose him the one wheel stability he greatly posseses.

[@DroneStrike1776]

​@@backyardhooper06the wheelie helps transfer weight to grip the road. And you have less rolling restriction. MotoGP riders do it all the time. There was a video that explains it. The fastest way to ride a bike is if your front tires are barely touching the ground. It's why MotoGP biked exit corners skimming and doing low wheelies. Physics.

Damn that was the sickest motorcycle launch I have ever seen. I get scared on launch if my front wheel comes up more than half a foot, and this man is going full throttle at the practical maximum angle for efficient acceleration. That was amazing. And beautiful audio work. The acceleration sounds and cinematic processing were epic.

[@factoryrider9537]

that was relatively far from efficient acceleration on the bike. If you want to accelerate the hardest the front wheel is at max 2-3 inches off the ground (take a look at motogp). They kind of put on a show which is all okay because its sick to watch and still proves the point

[@afletra]

@@factoryrider9537 maybe what he meant is sickest acceleration on a production bikes, but your poin is spot on

[@nunyabusiness896]

@@afletra It has nothing to do with the type or class of bike. The more wheelie you ride the less acceleration potential you have because you're slowly raising and shifting the CG rearward, which makes it harder to counter-act the forces trying to wheelie the bike until it flips. The maximum potential on ANY motorcycle is with the front wheel just before the point it leaves the ground, or practically, as little air gap as possible under the wheel. He probably could've dropped another few tenths if he had tried a little harder instead of showboating because he knew he would win.

I am STUNNED by the control of that motorcyclists launch and control down the drag strip. To be able to pull a MID NINE 1/4 mile run, while controlling a wheelie the first half of the drag is beyond impressive. Best launch and drag I’ve seen on a bike in a long time. But wow that Z06 is fast to keep close

[@JoshuaTootell]

He is a MotoAmerica champion. Like being surprised that Randy can drive a car fast.

[@LeeXRV]

I agree with all you've said except for the Z06 staying close, it was bus lengths behind at the end of the 1/4 and the bike was over 20mph faster through the trap, in the 1/4 that is an incredible performance difference between the bike and the car which is about what I expected with a good launch although I thought it would be more like high 9's.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

@LeeXRV well, that motorcycle happens to have double the power to weight ratio, but when it comes down to it, the Corvette would win on the track. Motorcycles are pure mechanical grip and acceleration, so low speed corners and long straight are a race bike's bread and butter, while high speed corners and heavy braking corner entries are their kryptonite, yet those are the Vette's advantages. A race track like willow springs would favor the bike, while a track like VIR Full Course, Road Atlanta, and Laguna Seca would favor the vette

[@devonnobles1083]

Josh could probably go faster if he brought that wheelie down a bit in the beginning

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

@devonnobles1083 not really, he literally smashed the record time for acceleration on that bike, being even batter than the launch control built into the bike

[@michaelabrams1244]

The sound of the Z06 and the Ducati revving out together was absolutely symphonic! So cool! Nicely done guys.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

the control of that duc launch was way impressive. I tried being more aggressive launching my s1000rr at the texas mile a couple months ago and it almost suplexed me on the runway. bike launches are way tricky. cool to watch someone like that guy that knows what he's doing!

[@danielfair4675]

I use to run a ZX-10 & ZX-11 Kawi, great bikes ... but you definitely gotta respect what you're sitting on. The more I rode, the more brave I got. A day after a close call at 150 or so I sat the bike on a dealership floor with a for sale sign & ordered my first H-D.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

@@danielfair4675 i went the other direction. started on HD"s and choppers, then to sport bikes. a big slow HD was perfect for me in my heavy drinking days. i justify the speed with sobriety now. :)

[@pldaniels]

@@danielfair4675 can appreciate the sentiment. Got motorbike licence before my car and rode everything from 250's to chopper to CBR1000s, one day I had a close call with an oncoming truck on a cresting left hand turn ( here in Australia that puts us on the left side of the road ); after that I basically never could ride the same again and subsequently started my journey to being a full time tin-top turkey.

[@take_it_slow_alex]

To be fair, Panigale V4s wheelies much less than other same class bikes, I guess, due to counter-rotating crankshaft. You actually can use 1st gear safely:) Still hugely impressive launch, given z06 0-60 was 2.6.

My C5 has 178,000 miles and still pulls like the day I left the Corvette museum in my first new car, my first Corvette. It always fires up (today after a year in storage) and has never stranded me.

I raced a C8 off the line with a Honda 1000rr. I was pretty impressed how hard it could launch and put all the power down without wheel slip. He had the lead up to about 70 before I quickly passed but I was working to come back around him.

[@sonicmoj1]

This was a somewhat surprising outcome for me. I honestly thought that GT3 would've taken it. I'm seriously starting to fall in love with that Chevy Z06.

[@xtnuser5338]

I'm a GT3RS owner, so I'm not just fan-boying the Z06. But make no mistake. While the Chevy has a roughly 13% weight disadvantage, it has a 30% power advantage to make up for it. The math works out to almost a 15% advantage in power-to-weight ratio over the Porsche. Now of course there are other factors, like launch effectiveness, drag, gearing differences, blah blah blah, etc. But a 15% baseline advantage is a heck of a lot to overcome. That Vette ain't messing around. I would have been shocked at any other result. I love my car, but will give credit where it is due...The Chevy guys have knocked it out of the park, and that's before you even throw price tag into the mix.

I hear the GT3 RS is a hand full on anything other than smooth highways. What has been your observations?

[@xtnuser5338]

@@ronretired282 It's firmly sprung of course, firmer than a C8, and it's not well insulated against noise. But otherwise I find it quite civilized. Do try to avoid potholes and such, but they don't jerk the steering wheel out of your hands or anything like that. I would liken the ride to something like a 335i but with stiffer coil-overs. It doesn't tram line over grooves much at all, although it does pull to the side VERY slightly when on a cambered road, or side-to-side if the road is undulating in camber back and forth, but not significantly enough to be anything close to bothersome. In fact it didn't do it at all before I got a track alignment done. Now, VERY rough roads, like an old one-lane country back road that is really full of potholes and ruts, is going to have you slowing right down and navigating the imperfections carefully, but it has to be pretty damn bad for that to be the case. About what you would expect for any low, firmly sprung sports car. It's not as rough riding as my F250, but of course in the truck you can just barrel down such a road, if you're willing to suffer the ride, without worrying about damage. I should provide a reference for my opinion of civilized. I came out of a track prepped Lotus Exige, which was rougher, noisier, and followed every little change in road surface...and I loved it! But even with that acknowledged, I wouldn't call the RS a handful unless what you're used to is a Lexus or something like that. Just imagine your Carrera if you put stiffer, lower coil overs on it. That's basically what it is after all.
