Jim - Feel free to substitute GT3 or 996TT here too...



No - you are wrong.

If the Z06 is (as stated by GM) 16 seconds faster than the C6 its NBR time should be around 7:59 (as the C6 did 8:15 in sportauto).

That is slower than GT3 and 996TT or any other of the faster Porsches. Not to mention the new generation GT3 or TT/GT2.



The last Z06 was very similar to the then standard model Corvette. The New Z06 is WAY different from a standard model corvette. Its engine sits lower and further back, it has a lower center of gravity, and the brakes are gargantuan in comparison to the previous Z06 and the current C6 standard coupe.

Claiming the lap time spread between a C5 Z06 and a C6 Z06 between their base models should be the same ignores the
differences in their construction and design.
