Funny you go and find that particular track… I guess we will be ignoring the video above…

And what’s the price of that?

The z06 on average spec is around 150k, from a fucking NA engine that weighs a ton.

So the 765 should have demolished it. It’s lighter with more power and active aero. But is it 300k+ faster? Fuck no.

Plus I question mclaren reliability. Great car but the z06 is a better bang for buck.

Like higgs said, I wanna see the z06 vs the 600lt if we have to put it up against another Mac.

It’s funny how money always comes into play with the vette warriors… so why Chevy doesn’t really built a 350k car…

Also what are you talking about Mclaren reliability? Hod this car for 3 years now since new and I beat the living soul out of it without any issues so don’t play that car, it’s the car of all fanboys that hate on Mc the question is what color is or was yours… most of the people bringing the topic of reliability have never had one and the cars breaking down is because they are pushing the car with tune, downpipes, exhaust, E85 etc and when the car breaks they blame it on the brand and not the 800-900 HP that you were asking from the car…

I wouldn't say I am ignoring it, but rather taking it with a grain of salt.

It is a forced induction car going up against a normally aspirated car. The Z06 is just a different breed, it is more of a GT3 competitor. You could sub in a GT3 or GT3 RS in that video and I'd still have the same reaction...who cares. I'd expect a $380k forced induction car to win what is essentially a straight line race.

Z06 is quite impressive, I don't really get how people can still hate on the Corvette. Would I buy one no, not my style...but I certainly respect the hell out of what GM has built. Building the most powerful mass-produced NA V8 ever is no easy task to be honest. The entire package seems to be performing very well.

Second I get your point in regards to the price and what you get but plz stop comparing apple with oranges I don’t see people with lotus or in your case civic type R comparing like the z06 or better yet the c8 owners like to do all the time… same thing could be said about hyper or SuperCar owners you don’t find them talking down to the Vette owners unless we are provoque by this comparisons

I'm not the one comparing the cars, haven't made a single video. The comment was in regards to videos comparing cars in completely different classes. So no, I am not baiting anyone, you seem to be confusing me with the creators of these click bait videos.

And don't think I am partial to the Z06 because I have one or be partial to the 600 because you have one, I don't want a 600 but I would love to have a 765, only problem I have is I don't want to give up any of my cars for one and I have no space, which means I would need to build another garage to buy a 500k car and the time is not right for all that with two kids about to start private school. Have to be done buying cars for now.

Chevy doesn't build them because they don't pay the bills if you consider McLaren constantly looking for a buyer, looking for investors, selling their headquarters and renting it back, constantly on the verge of bankruptcy, etc. Chevy is part of GM which is a publicly traded company and they need to make money.

Yes, american car companies suffered 15 years ago in the recession but mclaren has suffered through economic expansion.

They build a mean car, still want a 765, but the business model is obviously not working for them.

You're taking the post WAY to literally. I remember having fun in 5k dollar cars. My first car was $450 and didn't start, my dad made me figure it out myself.

Everyone can have fun, buddy. If you align that with a dollar figure I feel bad for you son.

Could have easily used, 30k or even 15k, there are fun cars at all price points.

Money has to come into play. It’s part of the numbers.

Power numbers, performance numbers and price.

I find your insecurity because if your avatar garage is true you have your own expensive toys. Why dismiss what the z06 is doing?

You can’t argue it’s a great performance being the fat pig it is with an outdated platform in the NA engine. Your insecurity shows full force saying you wanna see it on the road to gap it. But I bet you won’t on a track even if the z06 had a novice driver. That’s what that z06 was meant for. Not 60-130 times. The zr1 will crush whatever you have in your garage.

Maybe that’s why you hate corvettes. Lots of fast ones down there in Florida lmaoooo

There is nothing to hate abotu the C8 z06 trust me on that and funny you said that GM has built an engine that was copy from Ferrari.. with that being said my point was not that but the fact that fan boys with Vettes most of the time want to compared there cars to ferraris, lambos, Mcs etc.. stay in your lane and dont do so.. its that simple

You call me a kid yet your response in this thread is mocking the car saying you can’t wait to see one on the road so you can gap it lmao.

If that doesn’t scream insecurity I don’t know what is lmaooooo

Your Victory will be short lived once the zr1 supercar gets debuted.

The z06 supercar will do just fine on local tracks. Can’t wait to see it do a 6:54 at the ring too.

Thank you gm for this supercar!

I think that has more to do with South Florida people than Corvette people. You should travel.

You should travel unless you're a teenager then you should be in school.

I'm just riding the wave of the thread, my man, having fun.

But seriously, get to know different people than just the ones you live around. The world is very diverse and amazing.

[dgoldenz]

Nothing more cringe than someone saying they're going to "gap" another car. Is this the fast and the furious or what? We racing for pink slips in here?

You don't want to go to Gapplebee's for a gappletini and wings?


What's more cringe is street racing vs going to a track. But you can't jump the third honk and the timeslips don't lie. Same reason "canyon warriors" don't want to go to the track. They don't want to see a 60-year old man in a Miata beat on their M car because they aren't actually as fast as they think they are.
