oh yeah GT-R, 3.3 sec 0-60, 11.5 sec 1/4 mi @ 124 mph.
You forgot to mention that Motor Trend got a Z06 to run a 3.5 0-60 and 11.5 quarter at 127 mph.

There's much more potential still in the ZR-1.

I didn't forget to mention that. I simply looked for "Car and Driver" times, actually I didn't have to look further than my down stairs restroom!

Where did you find those times for a Motor Trend tested Z06? This is all I could find: stock Z06 vs Vortech Z06 They show a stock Z06 at 3.8 sec 0-60, and a 1/4 mile 11.7 @ 124.0 mph. Still no slouch.

There was a link earlier in the thread that linked to a forum page that showed it. I'll try to find exactly where it is if it comes to that, but I remember reading it from a link in this thread. And I made the point because you did try to mention the GT-R was as fast as the ZR-1, when in reality its not true, because then the Z06 would ALSO be as fast.
