M/Ts test of a 2011 zo6/z07 shows it slower than its test of the shelby. Obviously though there are many z06s that have gone faster than 11.8 but we don't know yet what the shelby is really capable of until people with lots of seat time drive them.

Lets face it, this car is in z06/z07 territory now. The only cheap competitors of this car is the zr1 and GTR.

Though I really like the zr1
Well.....here's M/T's offocial test of the C6 Z06 when it came out.
They ran 11.5 at 127 MPH.....no launch control and on first gen F1 Super Car run flats.

Obviously, there are many among us that have gone much faster as we aquired seat time....a very key component when drag racing a Z06 as the clutch hates drag race launches.

I suspect the 2013 GT500 vs C6 Z06 matchups are going to be very close.....the new GT500 is a brute of a car. But make no bones about it......with "only" 505 HP a C6 Z06 is still a VERY formadable opponent, is cheaper than either the ZR1 of GTR (in base 1LZ mode), and I can't wait for my first heads up matchup with a new GT500 at the strip.
