Automotive News, Media & Press - C6R vs. C6/Z06--Wow!

I just saw a show about a test drive of the new Z06. There were 2 of them racing full out at Road Atlanta with Jeff Gordon driving one and they were really flying! They had 1.27g in at least one turn.

But then, with a 1/2 lap disadvantage, they rolled out a C6R. OMG was that thing fast!!! It passed both Z06's just entering turn 2 like they were sitting still. Now that's a machine!!

It reminded me of one time when I saw a Winston Cup car at 215mph pass a pace car doing 55mph on the backstretch at Daytona (pre-restrictor plate!) :pimp:

You just saw the difference between a STREET CAR and a RACE CAR.. :D

Man thats an old show! Saw it about two months ago. But its was AWSOME!

i definitely said damn and shit a couple times after seeing that...and stupid me thinking the z06 is fast...lol

That's word-for-word what I told my wife, whose jaw dropped when she saw that. Even so, she still want a Z06. :nod:

What is awsome is that these driver's who are really hot lapping these cars can actually read the little g meter in the heads up display while going around corners really fast..if I was pulling 1.27 G's on a corner I am sure that I would not be able to check it on the g meter .. :eek2: :drive: ..I think that is known as the pucker factor.. :D
