    Default Z06 Owners....

    ... you are so lucky!

    drove my brother in laws Z06(50th anniv) and boy was that thing a monster!

    i went 90 in a 40 without a detector...easily... i was in 3rd, WOT @ 40MPH all the way to about 90! does this sound right?

    i have never had that much power, definitely need a responsible driver, thats way too much power for the street

    I said it before and will say it again....

    Real power:
    Take a spin on a liter bike.


    However I wouldn't mind having a Z06 for the casual trips.

    X2. Nothing comes close to a GSXR 1000 or R1. Now that is power. Z06 is as powerful as a peddal bike compared to one of these

    600HP is crazy as hell! I got to ride in a 03 Cobra pushing 550 to the wheels and I'll never ever forget that experience!

    Cool. So what would you rate the vette on a 1-10 scale after driving it and what did you think it was before you got in it? I agree, you really dont need to much done to the perfectly working stock vette. It allready can take out most street cars, hits 0-60 in 4 seconds and just hauls on the freeway and not to mention handles the twisties with ease.

    All the liter bikes are insane in power... I mean heck the ZX-10R tops the charts, then the GSXR-1K, then the R1, then CBR1KRR but if I remember correctly they all have over 165HP, 3over 170HP stock.

    Z06, On a side note here: Did you by any chance buy the bypass unit (CAGS) for your Z06, to unblock 2nd gear on LOW RPM shifts? I personally can't believe anyone in their right mind would own a Z06 and not do this, but is it hard, or is it something that most enthusiasts do, and is there a noticeable difference?

    Thats the same thing people buy for Camaros and Firebirds too right? I drove a 2000 Camro Z28 and when I was just driving chill the damn thing would try skip on me.
