Ha, ha those times for the Z06 are sooooo funnny. I have driven it on the Autobahn against Ferrari's and Porsche's.....Z06 kills them even in 5th gear...no problem.
Come on, prove your theory on the strip or the road. Not on the internet.....I'm still laughing!
How many Turbos and 430s did you meet? Carreras and 360s don't count, that's like slapping children with an anvil .
Well, only during my trip to the Nurburg ring I had an encounter with about 10 of the Ferrari 430's, a few Porsche GT3 RS and some other cars.
Here is a video I made: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7812469599992634578&q=Z06+Nurburg
And her is me Vs. a Ferrari 430 on the Koenigsegg track (I started from 2nd gear thus crippeling the Z06 in the start, still beat the 430)

Something else you want to ask me? *jesus* You do know that both the Autobahn and the Nurburg Ring are located in Germany, don't you? I could also tell you that it is possible to race on both the Autobahn and the Nurburg Ring. So yes I've raced the cars you mention and in real life, not on the internet. Now, what is your experience, Crash? I want proof from a video!!

We are laughing about you my friend Your car is not the fastest - annoyed But be assured: you have one of the cheapest fast cars
Nope, I'm not annoyed always glad if I can spread some hapiness. Still your data is not based on facts as you claim in one of your posts. I could post - and will do so if you still claim that your data should be considered as fact - lots of videos with stock Z06 doing the 1/4-mile in mid or low 11's with trap speeds over 124 Mph. If you are interested in facts go to www.corvetteforum.com and search for a member Ranger and see what he does with his stock Z06 then look for another member MyTopHat and see what he does. I could go on but I'm to tired.After doing your homework come back and tell me if you are still laughing at me.
Also I know that the Z06 isn't the fastest car in the world. Please show me a quote were I made this statement. I have never been anything than respectful towards the Porsches, Lamborghinis and Ferrari's. Thats why I'm so tired of trash talk about the Corvette.
I'm respectfuly waiting for your answer after you've done the homework.

Congaman is right. I've driven all the most recent exotics under 400K and the only one that is close to as fast as the Z06 is the Ford GT. Another plastic modern miracle. Looks like the two fastest cars under 400K are from the states. And by fastest. I mean in every way. Yeah it's got cheap leather and thin carpet and a [beep] stereo but you forget all of that the moment you lay into it. Really the only car that even stands a chance against the Z06 besides the GT is the LP640. And my sneaking supsicion is that it's slower just as the Murcielago is because the Murci is a good bit slower from all speeds. Too much weight and a 4 wheel drive system that saps power is to blame. Great driving machine though. I think the real test for the Z06 is going to be the upcoming GT2. My buddies GT2 falls pretty far behind me no matter who the driver is.

Well Crash; I gave my answer in the same ironic tone as you gave your question. What goes around comes around! If you can't take it stay away from being ironic or trash talking.
To answer your question once more. No, the Ferrari is not faster in higher speeds. As I wrote in my original post I raced a few of them on the Autobahn. They could keep up with the Z06 up to 250 km/h then they lost ground. Also top speed of the Z06 proved to be higher.According to the Z06's speedometer I toped 338 km/h in 5th gear at 6.300 rpm, according to the handheld GPS actual speed was 331 km/h, that's more than the official top speed. We were two persons in the car. The other person is a friend of mine and a Ferrari collector. He was surprised by the performance of the Z06.

Here is a link to my website and some pictures from my friends home and some of his cars:

So to sum up: I didn't meet any 430's on the Autobahn. I traveled with the owners from Sweden to Nurburg ring and back (as you can see in the Video). On the way back from the Ring, early sunday morning, we performed several races above 300 km/h. The Ferrari's couldn't touch the Z06 after 250 km/h. Never got the chanse to race a new Porsche Turbo (never claimed I did) but a Porsch GT3 RS. Same result as with the Ferrari's.

Interesting... In a recent issue of AMS magazine a Z06 achieved a maximum top-speed of only 314kph... The Z06 performance seems to be very very volatile

Please read my post again and don't quote just parts of it.

MKSGR: No, I don't have to read your post again. I have read it and I know that you are wrong in your assumptions. You posted 13 seconds for the Z06 going from 0-200. Not even I am that slow. So you are wrong. You claimed that the 430 would be faster in speeds above 250 km/h. I know for a fact that you are wrong.
You have the right to doubt me....but Crash mentioned that you drive on the Autobahn on a regular basis. Maybe we could meet and settle the discussion in a real life race?

Joining in to the discussion....
One must not put an emphasis on whom reaches those speeds the fastest....but who does so in STYLE
Unfortunately the corvette does loose out on this battle and it does so very very badly.

Rami; You are a comedian I could tell you a story or two about the Hitler cars you drive or the tuned Volkswagen's and so on, or poser cars with no power....but no I will not do it as I - as stated before - respect the Porsches and other sportscars. Maybe thats the difference between us. I can appreciate any sportscar, no matter what brand it has as you are locked up in your one eyed facination about the Porsche. Must be boring to be so narrow minded?!
Well, seems like there is alot of talking going on here but no action. I've repeatedly invited to a real life race on the Autobahn. Maybe I would win maybe not. I will survive what ever the outcome. But it seems like my challange isn't accepted....so maybe it's better to continue reading magazines??? Some boys do that instead of getting a real woman as well (get my point?)
This discussion is leading no where so I will probably make your lifes easier by saying good bye.I wish you and your cars the very best.

Please read my post again. I answered to Ramis joke on behalf of the Corvette. As you probably know there are lots of myths and jokes about Porsches and their owners as well. I said I could have the bad taste to make the same kind of joke as Rami, but I would not as I have to much respect for the Porsche. What is it you couldn't understand as you seem to bee flamed?
Now about my challange: It was you who brought up that MKGSR drives on the Autobahn on a regular basis and it is the same MKGSR who claims that Porsches and God knows what are faster than the Z06 in speeds over 250 km/h. I gave him the chanse to prove what he says. So if not on the Autobahn then I'm willing to go to a race track or strip that is long and safe enough for races up to and above 300 km/h. The only condition is that the race must take place in northern Europe and both cars should be stock Gallardo or Porsche 997 Turbo. If you don't trust me as a driver I could get me another driver with more than 20 yrs of experience from professional racing. Would that be ok? Now it's all up to you...how do say it in English....to put he money where your mouth is!!
I will PM my e mail to you so if you or your buddy MKGSR are willing to prove your point in real life I'm all up for it.
