Look at the gearing.
Final Drive Ratio = 3.42
@ 7000 Rpm:
1st. 2.66 = 61 mph
2nd. 1.78 = 91 mph
3rd. 1.30 = 125 mph
4th. 1.00 = 162 mph
5th. 0.74 = 220 mph
6th. 0.50 = 325 mph
6th gear is basically overdrive as no C6Z has enough room or the power, or the aerodynamics to hit 300, its basically useless in racing.
Topping out 5th has been done plenty of times. With drag limited at around 6000-6200rpm in 5th, that puts you really around 193-196mph. EASILY capable in a stock Z. With enough room.
SO how is it BS??

Motor Trend has their own opinions. I personally like the "devilish corvette". Skip to 8:15 and watch the vette decimate the competition

New Kia optima sx turbo? I hear theyre pretty quick. But I still haven't had any drive to get a Kia. I know they've made bounds in improvements since the Kia sportage I drove (early 2000 model). That thing was falling apart not 9 years after its birth.

That car had mucho power (at least 500 rwhp).
My car was running low boost approx 12 psi that tapers down to about 9 at red line on a t04e 1.15 hot side bolted to med street ported engine so no more than 350.

I WAS on a mission
Brent (other 1/3) of "Almost Racing" had just come in the session before bitching about this guy in the c6 who was reluctant to give him a point by so when I went out and saw him coming down the front straight I decided to wait for him, let him go by and give him hell
Again he was doing very well so not knocking him or the car just giving the FD props

That goes more along with your amazing driver skill, not the incapability of the z.
A 500+rwhp c6z will be faster than a 350rwhp fd period. With equal driver skill.
A vette doesn't weigh that much more. And the gearing is insane.
Fd's in the right hands can do amazing things. You showed it and i have seen time and time again on the BMI DVDs.
But an out of the box monster like a c6z should be respected. Lol
