Thumbs up Sport Auto Video - (991.2 GT3 Content) C7 Z06 vs World

All,

Germany's Sport Auto magazine brought a lot of supercars to test their best handling cars. The Z06 was brought along as well.

Interestingly - the C7 Z06 is the only Manual car there and also the cheapest.

C7 Z06/Z07 - Manual - RWD - Price: 79,495 (Base) Price as tested: $96,000 (Possibiliy of getting at least 12% off MSRP very high)

Other Cars -

AMG GTR - DCT - RWD - Price: $160,000 (Base) - *Rear Wheel Steering
911 GT3 - PDK - RWD - Price: $143,600 (Base) - *Rear Wheel Steering
ACURA NSX -DCT - AWD - Price: $160,000 (Base)
AUDI R8 V10 - DCT - AWD - Price: $164,000 (Base)
Mclaren 720S - DCT - RWD - Price: $300,000 (Base)
Performance - DCT - AWD - Price: North of $300,000 (Figures vary)

See the videos below for how the tests pan out

The first video has English subtitles, make sure to put your captions on as the narrative is in German.


Second video is AMG GTR vs Z06 (Wait till the end of the video to see their test lap times)


Enjoy!

They were not too impressed with GT3 which is quite the opposite if you check all other videos. Damp and cold track. Very short. Saying
not really much...

GT3 $150k less than Performante and in same test and under 1 minute also.

Impressive in my book.

Not really in comparison to the Z06- incredible value for the performance as the cheapest car there, being the second fastest. It is a bit of a one lap wonder though the newest changes help with cooling, it's still marginal. Owning a Grand Sport this year has given me a good perspective to how good the base Corvette is, never mind the Z06.

In general though I'm surprised they used this short track for their tests- a larger circuit would help differentiate the cars more clearly and of course testing on a day the temps weren't near freezing!

GT3 could have used an additional 30 hp.

Z06 an incredible value proposition, but then it's always been.

ZR1 would beat them all in lap time.

The Performante and AMG GTR are great cars. The GT3 needs 50 ft/lb more torque. I have zero interest in Corvettes. The fit and finish on them is terrible. I do admire how they put all their money in R&D and performance

The c7z06 is a blast. I had a c6zr1 and did not like it on track at all. The c7z is fun, exciting and very responsive. Thought it was more entertaining than the 991. Just diff approaches

I disagree. The only thing the GT3 needs, is to loose weight !

Interesting and thanks for sharing. 720S on MPSC2 and it would crush all of them. Z07 punches way above price tag but my buddies car can only handle 2 laps before overheating not sure the new model is better.
