I think it's pretty funny that a busted chevy is still faster than most very hi end performance cars. Lol

Look out when it makes laps when working properly.

That doesn't deter me from wanting one even more. (After the bugs are figured out and corrected)

No amount of spin makes this corvette failure better. If I was gm I'd give the "vw vette model"..lol..at least we know gm wasn't trying to cheat..lol

It was shown in the picture with the rest of the cars tested. I'm surprised they didn't get any numbers for it.

I am also curious to why it is not in M/T test, but it is in Road and Track.

The M/T BDC comparison event was earlier in mid-July... it was a bit too early for Ford Performance to provide a GT350 for testing. In fact, the GT350 North American Tour for the media didn't kick off until Aug 24th at Laguna Seca therefore no way would have Ford provided a final albeit a pre-production unit for 3rd party testing yet ahead of their own inaugural tour... which still hasn't finished yet btw (next week at Lime Rock and then concluding at Sebring on 10/13).

As for R&T's PCOTY.... I believe this is recent. As recent as a week or so ago based on their website blog & Instagram details.

That's a bummer. Was really looking forward to this test and the Z06 dominating.

Denis · 09-29-2015, 05:55 AM

they dropped a bunch of lap videos on Youtube

Stingray · 09-30-2015, 06:43 AM

Here she is. The ill-ridden Z06 having dysentery on the track..... Ugh.

shaffe · 09-30-2015, 01:20 PM

Damn, it sounded like it was really laboring towards the end of the lap. I really hope M/T goes out again with one thats running right, bc that car would put up one hell of a lap time

So much for the claim some make about GM providing "ringers" for these tests.
