well its faster than a gallardo. However, I really can't tell how much faster since we can't see how far back the Lambo is.

 

[NetViper]

Impressive. The Z06 rocks.

 

[simonprelude]

The Lamborghini still gets my vote though

 

[Wheelman]

I agree, I would take the Gallardo but you gotta give the Z06 it's props :wink:

I don't think anyone here would take a Z06 over a Gallardo if price wasn't in the equation.

 

[steveny]

I think the new Z06 is a great bargin, but a corvette is a corvette no matter what is under the hood.

 

[NetViper]

Imagine what Honda could do with 7 liters of displacement!

2006 Corvette C6 Z06 vs Lamborghini Gallardo with a rolling start on the highway. Both were video'd there is the version from the Z06! $165,900 vs $65,000 = $100k cheaper

...And 100k less exotic. :smile:

Revised addition, feel free to add your own comments

Gallardo
1/4 Mile ET: 12.4
1/4 Mile MPH: 118
Top Speed: 192
Assembled like a work of art.

Z06
1/4 Mile ET: 11.700
1/4 Mile MPH: 126.000
Top Speed: 198
Assembled like a Caviler.

 

[heySkippy]

Has there ever been a time when a low end Lambo beat a high end Corvette?

Serious question, I really don't know. It just seems like except perhaps for some late 70's, early 80's models there's always been exceptional Corvettes for some extra money.

I would say that about the C5 Z06, but not the C6. The quality is far better. It is most likely not up to audi.. i mean, gallardo standards, but it is not bad.

Cobalt actually. However, it is much improved compared to C5.

I was actually impressed with how well the gallardo did. It hasn't had impressive times in most road tests IMHO.

 

[4AU4LIFE]

Cobalt actually.

A Zebra can't change it's stripes. :smile:

 

[khappucino]

haha hey guys dont hate too much, i'm sure these arguments are equally applicable to the nsx in a different frame of reference =o

that video could have easily been c6 z06 vs 2005 nsx
LOL!!

props the the C6z06 on speed, but the dash still looks ghetto =)

 

[Jimbo]

Sometime in the future...

The new NSX Gen 2 will trounce some Ferrari or Lambo...

And the Ferrari and Lambo guys will say....

Yeah, but it's freekin Honda. YUCK!

So when Ferrari's and Lambos get smoked by a GT, do they say:

Yeah, but it's a freekin Ford?

Part of the problem with the Gallardo is that its awd and its set up to have significant understeer.
Just spent 3 days at VIR working on, driving, and coaching in a Gallardo.
Same customer has a Z06 coming in in Jan, so I will give a dirrect comparison then, but I can already tell you as already stated, a vette is a vette, plenty of power with a crappy chassis, yes its gets around a track well, posts good numbers, but I will never buy one even at a highly discounted price.(unless to resell :wink: )

I am making some chassis changes on the Gallardo and taking it to Summit Point Sunday.
On a side note, a few weekends ago I was instructing at a Ferrari event and there were 2 Z06's there, the doctor who owned the black one disliked it(and was scared of it) so much so that he turned around and traded it in on a Gallardo SE after only 3 weeks with the Z06.

If anyone can help me post video's + pictures I will send them.

I do!

Drove, and instructed in one at Summit, it's a Ford alright. :frown:
Yes its fast
I ll take a Gallardo, or 430 or 360 anyday over a Ford GT
