Default The drag race we've all wanted....

This one is for all the keyboard warriors who have been saying "tHe GeArIng is ToO TAlL"
AND the z06 has tons of aero and isn't even made for this.....

Enjoy!

Ferrari still sounds better Guy in Lamborghini can't drive. Does it not have an auto setting?
Z06 and 5.5l appears to be a little fast...! That's a great sign.

I'll wait until someone else with slightly less affiliation with GM does these tests where all the cars involved are stock.

It looked like he put in auto mode for later races but definitely was riding the rev limiter at first... like WTH?!? Also the lambo driver seemed lazy on the reaction times. Given that, maybe the lambo and Z06 are on par?

Interesting comment her Emelia, "...there is a noticable difference between the Z06 and Z07 package..." but no details. Assume she means that the car seems to launch harder/is quicker? I assume from CF wheels otherwise not sure why they would be different for straight line launches.

Maybe do a roll race to take the launch out of the equation.

Oh Oh ! But going around corners is what I live for. Problem is- I've never seen anyone on the street challenge me to race around a CORNER.

The Z06 won every race by a good amount (the roll and drag races).. maybe 2 car lengths on the Huracan. Completely stomped the 458.

Huracan driver kind of sucked though. When he shifted manually he kept slamming into the rev limiter. But even when he had it in auto he still lost.

Wow unbelievable. That wasn’t even close..How long before a forum member gets one? I’d love to see a review from someone coming from a C7Z.

Unless I'm mistaken, the front nose on that one is only available on the RWD model.

Was it the same car she ran with high octane fuel?
