In the 35-140MPH roll, the Z06 had a gearing advantage because 1st gear tops out a little over 60MPH. That gave it the ability to pull ahead initially. We did a bunch of runs in 2nd gear but it was just way out of the powerband. Kudos to the Z06 driver, Ron, who did a fantastic job representing the Corvette.

@Paul Reyes Sure, if someone can donate a stock C6ZR1, I would love to do that video. Based on my reading, C6ZR1s run low 7 second 60-130 times. I ran a 7.65 in my C7Z A8. For the Huracan race, I had lighter wheels by a 25-30# which I would say put me in the 7.4 range. My guess is the C6ZR1 with a good driver would put slightly more on a stock Huracan.

He lost me soon as he said manual, I was like he's gonna lose... those days are over. You buy them for fun factor but for straight drag racing is this light, not really a good comparison even with perfect driver that's just not realistic. The real reason people will always purchase the vette's though, boils down to it's aftermarket tuning stages and ease there of. Cheaper to purchase, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to moddify in a sense, easier to make faster.

@@stopthinkact7204 my talk isn't cheap. I'm talking from experience. I own an 8 speed c7 zo6 with a few tweaks, it's fast. Really fast and so is the 8 speed paddle shift tranny. With these high horsepower cars, you can lose a drag race by a lot in the shifting alone. With the 8 speed auto/paddle shift, there is no delay in acceleration during shifts... None. And since the shifting is lightning fast and with the better gear ratios of the 8 speed, it's just faster than the manual in a drag race. The numbers don't lie. Look at the quarter mile and zero to 60 times compared between the manual and the 8 speed auto. Besides, the c7 zo6 can be easily tuned to upwards of 850 hp or more for a reasonable investment. It's no joke. Besides, after a couple more runs, I bet that Mercedes would have started breaking down.

Having owned both there is no comparison for me. The Z06 was the car I dreamed of owning I was obsessed with Vettes since the day my older cousin took me out in his split window. However, I bought mine, paid the mark up price gladly. Within 10K miles I was so disappointed in the build quality, the interior, panel gaps, the creaks and groans it made while still virtually brand new. I sold it- quickly- As they say never meet your heroes. I got the 2020 AMG GTR and it was the best upgrade ever. Cost more but the price doesn't reflect how much better that car is build quality wise. Technically the AMG GTR is a mid engined car as the motor sits well behind the front axle in the middle of the car. I have stage 3 in the AMG it is a beast. I'd have preferred to see the difference on a race course.

Ahh that garage... Seeing that Exige makes me miss my 350whp BOE400 Elise that someone hit and totaled not too long ago. It brought so much joy to the neighborhood kids that I let sit in the car and take pictures. It also brought joy to their parents who also wanted to sit in the car and get pictures. I loved the stories that were shared by former Lotus Elan and Esprit owners. Just being able to drive the car and put smiles on everyone's faces who saw and heard the car was amazing. Now to get back on on topic, this was a great comparison. My wife and I have been looking at a base AMG GT as a good way to get into an entry level GT car that is somewhat exotic. It will definitely be more forgiving and safer than the Elise, but it won't provide the same thrills. The Evora 410/GT seems like the logical step if I want to go back to having one car that can still be used as a daily but also be a bonkers street car when I want it to be. I've also looked at base C7s with the Z51 packages to be a partial Elise replacement or even a Camaro SS 1LE (track package). These picks would be much more forgiving than my boosted Elise was and allow me to become a better driver in a safer manner at track days and local autocrosses due to the modern electronics that can help reel me in if I make a mistake. Also, I won't be worried every time I go out that even the smallest road debris can potentially total the vehicle... I'm looking at you Lotus and your prices for front and rear clamshells.

@diz_ - Dang, that sucks man. Must’ve been a helluva car. I’m keeping my Exige stock for this track season but next year, I’m planning to go FBO with BOE and some other components. I honestly love the Exige, hands down my favorite car so far next to the gated Gallardo I had many years ago. To address the statement, I think the AMG GT is the right way to go. It is a very pretty car and I find it more “exotic” than anything else in it’s price range. Except maybe the i8 because it’s midengined and the doors go up but that’s subjective. C7 Z51s are great cars and they have great on and off track potential, but if we’re in that segment, you might as well just go for a C7 Grand Sport. The widebody and added aero makes a big difference.

One of the reasons the Corvette got pulled on at higher speeds is that big spoiler. In a R&T road test of the M7 Z06, they stated the Z07 package cut 9 mph off the Z06's top speed. That drag affects acceleration, Big Time, and exponentially over 60 mph. I didn't order the Z07 package for my 2019 M7 Z06 because A) I don't track the car, 2) I like getting 3 mpg better at 80 mph, and, III) I can think of better ways to spend $7,000. That said, the Mercedes is very impressive. Another totes pro video, maign.

Love your videos...but at the end of the day, it comes down to price versus performance and as you said, the Mercedes runs three times the amount than the Z06. Given the performance numbers, Z06 is clearly the winner. If you were to give Corvette another $50k (cough, cough...have it run against the ZR1) to upgrade the car which would still be substantially priced under the Mercedes, it would eat the Mercedes up at the track all day long. I recommend that at the end of the video where you post the stats you reminder the viewer the cost of each car by pricing out the models tests.
@BadazzShovelhead 2 жыл бұрын
I get your point but at the end of the day- I have owned both and the fact is as a car a daily driver or even a weekend cruiser (why?) the AMG GTR is 3 times the car. The Vtee's build quality is embarrassing in many ways, the materials used nd the way they are put together is pretty shockingly bad. When you buy a car yeah drag times are a bragging right but not much more. I have a stage 3 with carbon fiber brakes done on my GTR and even without it on a road course it would wear the vette out especially multiple laps where durability matters. If you want a nice performance car it is hard to beat the GTR in every objective way except maybe the drag strip. Yes it cost more but it is also so much more car. And the best news is AMG GTR owners don't get upset if you don't wave on the rare occasion you see another one.

I was the driver of the Z06. My drag racing times in prior generation Z06's can be viewed on the Corvette forum's fast lists for C5Z06 (#4 in Bolt ons) & C6 Z06's (#5 in bone stock and #2 in bone stock w/Drag radials) so the shifting was not the problem. I came back to this video to share that back then I had just gotten the car and was still quite unfamiliar with it. I had no idea how to use the PTM nor did I use it in this video. I also did not know that the supercharger expansion tank was not bled properly by a long shot and that caused/causes the car to heat up FAST and pull timing,robbing it of a lot of power. It would be cool to re-run these races now but the owner of the AMG GTR sold the car over a year ago.

There's a lot of variables at play here. As you mentioned in the beginning, it's odd that the GT-R makes less power but puts down a higher trap speed. But, much like BMW's, many Mercedes vehicles actually put their advertised BHP to the wheels, if not a bit higher. So in reality, the Z06 was down on power comparatively--most likely. Also, the A8 would have been a better race but still no comparison to a DCT. The stage 3 aero didn't lend the Corvette any advantages in this comparison, either. As soon as I saw the vehicles and the test criteria, I knew that the GT-R would win in both instances without even watching.

And ZR1s have been clocked, bone stock, doing 9.8 @ 140 mph.

Also wished you would've shared your best times in your C7 Z06 A8 with the Stage 1 aero in the vid just for comparison sake. Also Stage 2 aero its still a good bit difference from stage 1 aero in terms of how much it slows down Z06 on top end as you already know. Lastly Mercedes may advertise the AMG GTR as 577 hp but it definitely is underrated from the factory like most AMG cars are. That AMG is easily pushing over 600 hp

You can find my best stock C7Z A8 times on the online Fast List, but 60-130 was 7.66 seconds if I remember correctly. It’s possible that the AMG GTR would’ve reeled it in on top end as well, but I feel like the A8 would’ve gotten far ahead enough in the beginning for it to be hard to play catch up. And yes, I’m sure the car pushes over 600HP. It’s just something the Germans tend to do nowadays with their performance cars.
