Nothing to be curious about. One is a 12.2 car @117. The other is a 11.7 car at 125. Half second difference.

There is enough of this crap in the C7 section. Please don't bring it here.

The C7 will be a good bit slower than the C6Z06, period. No matter what the C7 fanbois think. The C7 is more comparable to the C6GS.

C6 Z06 is perhaps the last 427 Vette

C7 base model is no competition

C7 Z06 & ZR1 if they build one will be interesting

Though I still hate the UAW & the politics behind Government Motors

I think the fairer comparison is C7 vs C6 and C7Z (when it comes out) vs C6Z.

The numbers have already been released as mentioned above. They are pretty much on par with the 1/4 performance of a C5 Z06.

If you want a nicer interior to drive in everyday get the C7.

If you want the wow factor of having the new thing on the block get the C7.

If you want better gas mileage get the C7.

If you own a corvette for performance the C7 is nowhere near the Z in that arena.
