burnout mode doesn't let you hold a burnout it only lets them break loose shortly for weather like that you need to either slide the car around or do a standing burnout even in the stingray when its wet out wont hold the burnout fully

Even if you had warm tires, those airstrip surfaces are a far cry from a prepped drag strip.

[@logicstperformance555]

Great video and amazing car. 3.70 - 2.60 = 1.1s 11.45 - 1.1s = 10.35s Sadly, that's not how it works when it comes to 1/4 mile drag racing. Also remember that if the speed/time tracker in the car is not GPS based, it is measuring wheel speed, which includes loss of tire traction, making it faster/quicker than it is. .

[@SpeedPhenom]

Gotcha! Thank you for the clarification! Was very curious as I noted with the text.

[@bricebarefoot3437]

If you plot his numbers vs. Amelia's....his logic is actually pretty accurate. But he's assuming a perfect launch. So, in an approximate sense, his numbers are very plausible. As far as 1/2 mile Vmax...I doubt there is very little loss of traction. But the PDR has been wildly variable vs. Dragy or other Vbox data...but it has also been accurate at times. Just not a super reliable source.

[@tescoshortage]

Those times are likely on a specially prepared track surface. You could hear the car struggling for rear grip on acceleration throughout first gear as the TCS intervened. But still, sub-4 seconds to 60 and 11.4 in the 1/4mi with a completely stock car on some airfield in the middle of nowhere is quite impressive!

Z07 package sucks for the straight lines.

[@TrailWayzz]

I wanted to see you against that C7 z06 but of course no race 😂

[@Turbo329]

I really like the Z06 and would love to own one. I'm holding out hope that I may possibly be able to get once sometime next year. However, these are my takeaways. I've been calling it out over the underwhelming torque figures and this race against the GT500 confirmed my suspicions. The Z06 will NOT be a straight line monster. While one may argue that it never intended to be, I argue that it really should have all the boxes checked. You can't give away that much straight line performance and expect to be taken seriously. While the Porsche GT3 is similar to the Z06 in some respect it is extremely fast in a straight line. We're talking real world and not spec sheet brochure sales copy. Even in those cold conditions a GT3 would not have gotten walked that badly. I do think the Z06 will excel around small to mid-size race tracks which is why the presser took place at Pittsburgh International instead of Road America or VIR. Taking in consideration its lack of grunt and seeing how badly it got walked by that Mustang, I seriously doubt this is a sub 7 minute Nurburgring car. I predict that It may end up between 7:10-7:29 at the ring. Excluding the GT3 most of the cars killing it at the Ring are forced induction. Also, the gearing seems off with the Z06 especially in the higher gears. Race Teams will probably be playing around with that final drive gearing. Perhaps GM did this for emissions? I would have preferred for it to be forced induction similar to the C7 Z06. In that case I think it would have been a world beater right out the gate. GM benchmarked a 10 year old Ferrari 458 Italia and my gut feels as if it is too little too late. Still a hell of a car and I would love to have one in "Lipstick Red" or maybe "Panty-dropper Orange" just for the attention and the 'flavor of the week'. Even after the last 6 years, I still think the track car to have is the ZL1-1LE. Spend a weekend stripping down a ZL1 to bring the weight down to 3400lbs and add a cam plus Ethanol and there's pretty much nothing beating you on any given track day. Such a shame that GM never put the LT5 (ZR1) in the Alpha Chassis Camaro, but we know why this was done. With 100 less horsepower it is the only car right now keeping that GT500 honest on a closed circuit short of spending $200k. I just can't imagine spending $180k to get walked by a GT500, but my God is that Z06 beautiful. I call it the car of mixed emotions.

[@Turbo329]

@@jackd232 GT500 is just waking up at 130+mph. From there on it’s killing the Z06. Having the engine over the rear wheels makes the C8 great at launching. That’s inherent design and outside of that it really isn’t impressive. Throw some sandbags in the GT500 trunk to get weight over the wheels and it’s possibly not even close.

[@jackd232]

@@Turbo329 you talking like the GT500 is like a Civic Type R, that shit is not cheap at all, with mark ups now it's more expensive than a C8. GT500 is a Camaro ZL1-1LE rival but way more expensive and less capable on track.

[@Turbo329]

@@jackd232 I’ve had the chance to play with a couple of GT500s on track this year and they are quite capable in spite of their heft. You can get non track pack versions for under $100k now and the full monty for around $125k. You’re still saving a ton of money over the Z06. If I could get a spot for the Z06 I would definitely buy it. However, it’s definitely not the ‘World on Notice’ car that GM proclaimed it to be. A twin Turbo C8 would have most likely fit that bill.

[@jackd232]

@@Turbo329 I bet it's a monster on track. To your point money worth, zL1-1le is way way cheaper, and faster than GT500 on track. C8 is in the super car category, I don't think they really compares.

There’s a video of the car running with a 800 huracan that was supercharged. Which would beat a Z06 C8. Off the line yes the C8 wins but man the ZR1 pulls like a missile once you get it to hook and take off. And funny enough it weighs less than this car.

[@DWH300]

If i remember correctly. The GT500 ran 160 mph which was reflected on the timing signs that I don't recall being shown during these current runs. You never warmed the GT500 P2 tires, ran with your window down and had terrible digs in the GT500 spinning for a minimum of 60 '.These are not drag races. It's a 1/2 mile speed event. Mentioning the GT500 left early means nothing. The Z06 is a nice car with an expensive price. But time will tell how well it performs on the track,

[@nuspinesteven]

Fun to watch…thanks for sharing. Wonder how variables such as tire pressure and ambient temp would effect your trap speeds in the 1/2. Cold air is great for power but not for traction as we saw. However in the 1/2 mile I’d think the launch isn’t as critical as in say a 1/8 or 1/4 event

[@st5637]

Wow so interesting to see. Thought you would want more miles on it before doing speed runs. In F1 racing they have heated covers, perhaps you could get some for the rears and that would make the difference?

With all due respect your car is only half of the equation. The driver is the second part of the equation.

With that being said, I’m so glad I have my challenger scat pack in the garage for only $42,000. I put Continental all contact tires on and I weigh 300 pounds and I still got a 0 to 60 in four seconds. I have gotten the car up to 162 miles an hour that is plenty for me don’t know the distance how long that took but that’s when I pussed out and let off the gas😂 The z06 is definitely a beautiful car, but definitely out of my price range

I have a feeling you have probably already mentioned this, but what is the plastic? film on the front, and when do you think you'll remove it? Thanks, and keep the great content coming!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Removing it as soon as I reach Cali! It protects paint and will come right off for ppf!

What's your elevation? Higher altitudes really hurt a naturally aspirated V8

[@jptak1969]

Jesus H man - turn F'ing traction control off, skip the launch control BS and learn to drive it. That poor car was falling flat on its TC'd face as soon as you let the LC go. Embarrassing showing for this car and I'm not even a big Vette guy. Turn all that shit off, skip trying this aggressive launch crap (no different than dumping the clutch....) You gotta walk it off the line and pedal it until it grips.

Nah, you shouldn't have destroyed that GT500 on the launch 🤣 you got DRUG bud. You ain't touching that car. And that Zo6 seems to be falling on its face, picking it up and then going. Not sure if you have TCS on or not. But I would rather run it off and throttle control it out the hole instead.
