As far as traction, I have no problem hooking up my C6 and pulling 4.1's all day long. That's pretty much the car's best....it's not actually faster than that due to any lack of traction.
Autoweek

12 attempts to get a 4.9 second 0-60 in a C6 out of your mighty corvette at the drag strip.

Hey...I'm only the messenger.

So if you're getting 4.1, that is .8 seconds less then the reference you have chosen to use, that means we should see the 370z cutting 4.6 seconds.

Guys if you haven't learned by now that ZZTOP is a troll and likes to lie and argue on this site. Review his post history. Wonder why the mods haven't done anything to him?!

I like to feed the trolls every once in a while. Especially if I can make them look stupid at the same time....

He's obviously envious of something. Probably doesn't even own a Vette. If he does I bet it's stock....what a joke!

Ahh a troll, ok. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Either way, I haven't seen the 370z in person but from what I have seen. Man it's sooo amazing looking and the specs on it are awesome. I'll probably be trading if I can some how get the wife to cave in...

You guys are hilarious.....and SOLO pops in with his usual "troll" insult. How predictable. What....you're not going to reach into your two word vocabulary and call me a "douchebag" as well?

Sorry if my comments offend your tender sensibilities.....but I am flattered by all the attention. Then again...I should consider the source. Pinheads are fascinated by just about anything.

FYI, no G-tech here, ********. It's called Spring Mountain Motorsports.....and if you're a good little boy, someday you'll get real car and I'll let you go there too!



Awwwww....look how happy Briguy is!!

Totally took that image for avatar uses later.

Anyways, I'm guessing about 4.8 0-60, and high twelves, low thirteens for the 1/4.

I have to give you credit...you really go all out to draw the attention away from how dumb you sounded while we were actually discussing performance automobiles.

I sounded dumb? And you proclaimed, like a 12 year old, that a stock Corvette is a joke? You are as mindless and ignorant as that exclusive GIF of you indicates.

You do indeed sound like an artist. Don't forget that autoweek did almost a full second slower then you with the 0-60 in a C6. And dude, we all know a corvette isn't all that. If it was I would have bought one.

My car and the cars I roll around with (including modded vettes) would all make your stock vette look like a child's play toy. That's why you, your car and your chrome wheels are a joke.

You think you are hot $hit because you own a Corvette. You are only on here to brag about how great your corvette is (Posting pics whenever you get the chance too).

Let's analyze your posting in just the past week...

You started this retarded thread (to obviously stir up $hit) about a predicted 0-60 time from Autoweek and in your SECOND POST you already start talking about the C6 corvette. Only to further toot your own horn about how you've timed your own 0-60 in your faptaboulous C6 Corvette.

Now on to the 370Z Vs. C6 thread....where you post a picture of your car in the first few of your posts in the thread. Is that really necessary? Do you think you are impressing people by posting a picture of your car like they've never seen a C6 Corvette before?

Then we go onto the Motor Trend: First look at 370Z thread. Page ONE and you've already posted a picture of your car and start talking about sending it to lingenfelter as if that somehow has something to do with the 370Z. Again tooting your own horn.

Then about a week ago in the "My dilemma: 370Z vs. Camaro SS thread you go talking AGAIN about the C6 corvette and how much better it is than the Z.

I could search back further and I'm sure I would find more and more of the same.

WE GET IT DUDE. You are in love with your C6 CORVETTE.

You USED to be a contributing member of this forum when you had a 350Z, but it seems like all you've done since then is sit around and wait for a chance to bag on a Z.

AWESOME.

With a 0-60 calculator I came up with 5.7 seconds. That was figuring 4,300 pounds with fluids and a driver and 330HP at the crank. This is asuming the weight of the 370Z of a shade under 4,000 is accurate.

I just have to laugh! You spent how much of your time researching my past on this site? Just like a couple of your other moronic buddies that also post here, your pathetic life is probably defined by your car, so you have little else to do. I'm glad I'm giving you clowns a reason for living. Don't you having anything better to do on Saturday afternoon?? I drop in for a few minutes here and there...but you REALLY NEED TO GET LIFE. OMFG.....too funny....just too damned funny!
