High 10's stock and nearly stock are a good start but I would like to see the C6 Z06 record smashed before I get overly impressed. Like a 10.4 or lower. You would think a extra 150HP and 8 speed automatic could do that. Hell a LT1 C7 has gone 11.3.

1.66 60' getting better. This thing is going to run a 10:60s soon. In regards to the above comment the C6 Z06 has had 8+ years to run it's number , the Hellcat 2-months, and if I recall the Z06 that ran it had some weight reduction as well as skinnies up front. Don't forget the black Hellcat has already run 10:40s although it popped a driveshaft trying to better that number. I'm pretty sure this is why this particular car is sticking with the 555rs in fear of a driveshaft failure.

What is the C6 ZO6 record? This was the quickest time I could find for a stock C6 ZO6 with D/R


and a C6 ZR1 stock with D/R

If I had the money, I would never buy a Z06. Why you wonder? Because I would never be able to choose a damn colour! LOL

Blue, Red or Grey?!

Such a hard choice. I never liked blue for myself personally, meaning I love cars in blue but just could never own one. But this Z06 looks so damn good in blue, I would break my rule. The red is ridiculous, looks amazing. But the Grey is so subtle, gorgeous, and mean at the same time.

How did you guys choose so easily?

And I agree, 10 second factory cars under 100k, truly an amazing time for car enthusiasts.

ZR1 record on stock tires is 10.6, on drag radials its 10.29. I don't think the c7 z06 will beat the 10.29 but it will get 10.5 I think.

The way you feel about blue is the way I feel about red mostly. I've seen cars that look great in red but never really wanted a red car personally, but the ZO6 in red is very tempting!








Then there is Arctic White






And even black

Thanks!

I never knew the C6 ZR1 got that deep into the 10's with stock tires, and that 10.29 stock on DR's will most likely stand for quite a while more.

Rangers 10.7@130mph run with a C6 Z06 was stock with C5 z06 rear wheels and drag radials. It still had stock front wheels/tires as you can see in the video. The rear wheel/tire weight is definitly lighter than the stock 19" with heavy run flats but other than that no weight reduction.

Bone stock time for the C6 Z06 is 10.98@128.9 done by Jamie Furman. No weight reduction, stock wheels/tires, stone stock.

The Corvette has no driveshaft and unless the drivetrain in a C7 Z06 is weaker than a C6 Z06 no A8 Z06 is going to break anything with stock power and even full on slicks unless there was a mfg problem to begin with or the driver was stupid not letting out of wheel hop. To many automatic Vettes running around with 600RWHP+ and a stock C6 Z06 drivetrain pulling 1.4 60fts to make me think otherwise. Now a M7 Z06 might have some problems with too much traction. Hell even the stock L99 drivetrain has lived at 9 second 1\4mile times and 1.4 60fts and I'm sure a C7 Z06 drivetrain is stronger than that. I highly doubt anything in the drivetrain is the weak link with that car. The tune, cooling and oiling? Now that's another issue. Thought we would be seeing 135mph+ trap speeds and bottom 10's out of the new Z06 and that doesn't seem to likely now.
