The corvette has more hp to compensate for the extra drag you are claiming from the aero. Also that aero is not as "draggy" (excuse the pun) at 127mph as it is at 200mph so I think it is negligible. Price difference is for a whole different reason than pure performance. Its good the Chevy can keep up. But no one buys a Lamborghini in order to just nudge out a Chevy in a 1/4 mile.

@@j.m.7907 Of course drag increases with the square of speed so it'll be much higher at 200 mph than 130 mph obviously.

The c6 z06 same year running a 7:22 beat all of them as well. So there needs to be a definition of exotic or supercar vs hypercar vs etc etc. Brooks should havve run a pass or two in the vette. Brooks gets the best out of the cars.

[@andrewwilken9725]

The c6 Z06 was capable of a 10 second 1/4 mile as well. To this day the c6 is the most impressive corvette in my opinion.

[@j7b890]

the c6 zr1 did over 7.19 and that was with Jim Mero after heaps of laps above 7:25! A bunch of GM engineers were sent for weeks to tweak the car for the track and squeeze the best laptime. While the Enzo was driven a couple of laps without any proper adjustments by EVO car magazine journalist on crappy bridgestone potenza 050 tires and with electronic dampers issues. At the hands of a non GM conducted test the c6 zr1 did 7:38. If the Enzo would have been tweaked by Ferrari for the the NRing with a pro driver and better tires it would have easily posted a 7:17. Some people at that time went as far as to say that the Enzo without dampers issues and proper tires could have set a sub 7:15.

[@marquesdubose9289]

@redtesta the corvette is not an exotic car it's a massed produced car for the masses. You may be able to stretch the definition and call the corvette a super car. The hurucan if you recall ran the nurburgring in sub 7 minutes and held that record for a production car for awhile until the svj came along. Corvette was never able to break that record even till today and definitely didn't come close to the svj time.

Corvette C8 Z06 is incredible and I am anticipating the race between E ray and other super cars Anyway, you're the best youtuber of 1/4 mile race

[@YourBestFriendforToday]

The aero got him.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Red is my favorite color, but that shiny blue on that vehicle is absolutely awesome !!!!!!!

[@chachichochacorta8577]

I'm glad you talked about the Corvette running 11s all day and then coming in to do a 10.5. That made me wonder: Why is it that Porsche, BMW, and Lambo always seem to do better as they do more 1/4 mile races in a day, whereas Corvette does worse the more races they do in a day? Do you think Corvette is better off underrating their 0-60 and 1/4 mile times like BMW and Porsche do? Chevy seems to post these nearly impossible numbers to achieve.

European cars tend to have more consistency in launching than American

[@chachichochacorta8577]

@@thomasgrabkowski8283 Yes, but, why?

[@rustler08]

Corvette's engineers just need to do better work with the launch and traction control.

[@bluebomber697]

It has nothing to do with engineering guys. It’s the tires lol. Sport Cup 2R’s are very difficult to get enough heat in them to get great traction. Launches are far more consistent on the lower end Z06 tire, the Pilot Sport 4S. I ran 7 passes in my Z06 all within 1-2 tenths of each other. Incredibly consistent.

[@parker73724]

The European exotic car manufacturers have a lot to worry about, especially with the ZR1 coming out.

[@1agaragedoorssacramento]

Best looking vette by far

[@atopedigree1995]

The Z06 sounds so freaking good

[@RMS027]

So, for a fraction of the price, you get similar performance out of the Z06 in a straight line. Not to mention the additional track capabilities. If you really want to go all out, then try for an eRay in straight line excellence.

[@nighthawk0077]

Lol I think we all know by now the C8 is disrupting the supercar market. They've only been talking about it for the past 3 years. 😅 Also in the case of the Z06 with aero pack they are currently trading for 200K and up, so I wouldn't call that a fraction.

[@thomasgrabkowski8283]

Or wait for ZR1

@@thomasgrabkowski8283 Yes, once it's released in 2025.

@@nighthawk0077 $160k for a decent c8 Z06 versus $300K for an optioned Hurucan Tecnica. I'll take the track inspired Z06 and apply a simple tune along with good tires and pretty much rip the track.

[@rustler08]

I am not sure if I would be using the language "a fraction of the price" when we're talking $160k vs $290k. Yes, it's slightly less than half the cost, but that's really not that impressive. I mean, even $250k vs 290k could be described as a fraction of the price. That language used to be reserved for when a Lamborghini was $200-300k and the $65k Z06 was competing with it or beating it with slight mods. Especially when you know that in 5 years that Huracan will be worth $220-230 while the Z06 will be worth $60-70k.

[@babakweber]

Loved it ! That was surprise for me ! It thought Z06 will win !!!

[@gaming-with-the-people4815]

stop the foolishness z06 was 200k plus for the longest. still near there to this day.

[@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA]

And to think a 6 year old Performante would clean this Z06's clock harder. Everyone raves about performance for cost or bang for buck. If that was what everyone of us gearheads were after, then we would all have built turbo Civics running 8's street legal for $40K and boasting how we can beat or keep up with a $1M hypercar. Shit gets old real quick guys. End of the day everyone prefers the Lambo over a damn Vette lets get real.

[@Viper3048]

I'm VERY impressed with the Z06. Cant wait for the ZR1 and Zora. Zora should be a 9 second car! 😮

[@machineheadfan1130]

I absolutely love that Blue Uranus on the Lamborghini!!! 💙OMG it takes my breath away! I might have to custom paint my Corvette ZR1 when I get it!!! Dreams! 😂

[@fredeb67]

I think with a little more break-in the Vette could win. Great race. GM making magic on a budget as always. That Lambo sounds glorious.

[@ktb660]

you sure? because the lambo was still pulling even when ahead..

[@SupercarRanch]

Without the Z07 aero, probably would have won round 2. But i don’t think it could do a 10.4 without a pro driving and perfect conditions

[@dhan219]

lamborghini tecnica weight is 3040 lbs the power to weight is more in favor of the lamborghini. The Z06 is a bigger and heavier car.

[@Boostform]

Very very unlikely, even without the aero it couldn’t win. The thecnica weights in at 3300lbs hooks so much better as well..

[@fredeb67]

@@ktb660 No, not sure, but just guess.

Vette will probably do better with some more break-in. This was a good apples-to-apples race.

[@bunzaroo]

The Z06 also weighs about 200 pounds more and has more aggressive aero which slows it down up top. Both impressive cars. Where the Z06 shines is on track. Not much can compete with it. Including the Lambo. Money not being a determining factor, I’d take the Lambo.

[@sonicmoj1]

[@cleatdata-bg4tz]

Used to be a GM fan until they took the nearly 20 billion of OUR tax money for the bailout and still have the nerve to charge customers 50-80k over sticker price for their vehicles. Disgusting business practice from a company that technically should not even exist... How soon people forget.

[@hofahome]

Correct me if I am wrong, but GM isn’t charging over sticker. The dealerships are. Plus, that type of practice is not isolated to GM.

[@TML34]

It was actually about 52 billion. 7 billion was a “loan”, which they paid back. The rest of the bailout money became the govt equity, which they sold off for a loss of about 12 billion.

[@QuincyCrawford-im4rz]

It's called inflation next year your witness hyperinflation.

[@redvivid]

@@hofahome correct...

[@chriskolaska897]

So why are you mad at GM for taking the bailout money and charging 50 to 80k over sticker? The funny thing is Ford and Dodge also got bailout money and do the same exact thing charging so much over sticker, but it's not the company's charging all of that over the sticker price. That's specifically on the dealerships that are ripping off the consumer. You might want to know what your actually talking about buddy.

[@Tubes12AX7k]

I love the fluorescent blue color on both cars and the fluorescent blue stripes inside the Lamborghini. I have a Laguna Blue 'vette but the lighter blue is just eye catching.

[@razerone49]

As incredible as the c8 z06 is, it’s more a European car than an American muscle car. The used so many things out the euro supercar playbook. Things they pioneered and have been doing for decades.

[@TML34]

What’s wrong with that? The only thing they missed was making the body tight and fitted. The Z06 still looks like a fat-ass.

[@redvivid]

The corvette was never a muscle car. Its considered a sports car.

[@WindyCity1992]

That doesnt make sense bro None of that is true. Nothing is euro exclusive about cars All countries make MR platform cars

[@WindyCity1992]

There is no EU car that has done what The C8 Z06 has. Magnaride , the Alpha chassis and the LT6 are all Domestic patented 100%%

[@PapiAndrey]

So what? It has nothing to do with the country of origin and the Corvette was never a “muscle car” The V8 was first made by the French, what does that tell you? This idea about country of origin is stupid
