My daily Driver is a supercharged Mercedes 4 door sedan. Do you think I should relegate it only to the track because it will outrun a Honda Civic? Just because a car is faster then a bat out of hell, doesn't mean you have to race it to enjoy it. |

How many F430 Ferrari owners take theirs to the track? It really cracks me up at how many non-Z06 owners say the Z06 is a waste if it's not tracked. SORRY....the Z06 does have more performance; street AND track if that floats your boat. Why is this so hard to understand and why is it such an issue??? |

Have you ever seen a Z06 with the roof off (as in replacing the top)? There is structure underneath the top. Somehow, I think you know this. :cheers:

Check the Z06 section, there are plenty of threads from people that track the car..
Everyone has their own perception I guess of this thread, I don't feel Z06 owners are "touting" the difference in performance, the OP asked a question and solicited feedback and people are responding to that. Both the GS and Z06 have very good performance on the track and street. You don't have to track the car to it;s full potential to experience the difference. |

The most failed argument there is.
Why? You don't need to take a Z06 to the track to notice the performance difference. Just like you don't need to take your base C6 to the track to notice it's performance difference v. a camaro. |

Check the real world and I am sure all would agree, less than 3% of all Z06 ever see a track.
I'd be willing to bet more than 3% at least see a 1/4 mile track at some time or another. |

It is the same roof and top as the standard coupes, they just make it attached so you can't remove it, don't you here it creaking all the time? :lurk:

Fine by me, not sure how that could be verified ... like I said just because someone doesn't track the car 360 days a year doesnt mean they can't experience or enjoy the performance the car has.
I'd be willing to bet more than 3% at least see a 1/4 mile track at some time or another. I would also say that there is NOT more than 3% that drag their cars of all the Z06's in the world. But as you said, hard to prove. The numbers are probably less. |

There are cross beams underneath the top that attach to either side of the car. That is what strengthens the whole structure and gives it rigidity. Serious; you really didn't know that?

Than maybe you should tell a bunch of them to stop referencing the track when the MAJORITY have not and never will see the track. They (Z06 owners) are the ones hammering us non stop with all this track talk. :sleep:
In fact, the "MAJORITY" of Z06 owners have been saying you don't have to see a track to notice the significant difference in performance. The only track talk I see is usually like the post I quoted, someone claiming it's useless over a base car unless it's on the track. |

Well, your first part is not part of my argument. As I am enjoying a car that smokes a Z06 badly and I do not track it.

No, I pay attention to these threads and they're all the same. Someone gets their pp hurt when a Z06 owner states the obvious, then it's "well, I bet you don't track your car, and you know, it's not worth it unless you track it."

Yes, I believe that's common knowledge with "most" Corvette owners. I'm beginning to question that though. You said it's the same roof but just secured so it can't be removed. Not the case. More than that.:cheers:

Actually, you are "one sided" which means your opinion is worthless.
