The glass on the standard coupe is more slippery than the abrupt hardtop glass (allegedly). Also, it's very possible gearing is part of the issue as the lowered Z06 gearing means it will top out in 5th below the speed it will top out in the base car. 6th is too tall for top end speed unless you have major power adders. Weight doesn't matter much at all for top speed, it's all power and aero. This is why you'll see super heavy Mercedes that will easily do high top speeds when the power/weight is worse than some lighter cars with lower top speeds.

@@nunyabusiness896 No! You don't know what you're saying. Understanding the torque you have at the end of each gear in relationship to RPM, and including 5th gear, would require a power shift into sixth gear while maintaining the torque and you will increase speed, hence the top end will be greater. Understanding where it stops pulling in 5th gear is essential for the quick shift into 6th and no speed is lost, but if you dilly dally into sixth gear the speed and torque will be lost and you will not gain speed. The max. torque in a ZO6 starts at 4,000 RPMs and IF it will only pull to 5700 RPMs in 5th gear and with a lackadaisical shift into sixth you will drop below that torque. Now, what part of this don't you understand!? Check out: the Montana speed limit paradox. Today it is impossible to put a Z06 through its paces because the laws are far too strict and that is just sad ¿`_

@@user-ys9to2ie7k What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

@@nunyabusiness896 Really!? At this point, I can only assume that everyone in the room is a moron ¿`_

@@nunyabusiness896 I added the tidbit about no speed limits in Montana, and with that said, I haven't had a chance to take mine into Red Line in 5th gear. It pulls right to 6600 RPMs which is the rev limiter in 4th gear, and the way it pulled all the way to the maximum in fourth gear, I suspect, it might go to 6500 RPMs in 5th gear and if that's the case, I would power shift at 6300 RPMs and I'll guarantee it would continue pulling in sixth gear. Most of the time it's not what a car is capable of, but who is driving it ¿`_

Nothing special, he kills every solo he gets

@@fortnitegod6987 that piano player sure looks a lot like Gordon Goodwin

I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed this video MickeyKraut419 and that it brought back some awesome memories for you. Thanks for watching this video and leaving your positive comments. My son also being a trumpet player like myself thoroughly enjoy anytime we can see and listen to either Arturo (his own big band) or Wayne (Big Phat Band) and having them both together on stage playing a duet together was a musical experience that our ears will never forget. BTW you are absolutely correct about both of these individuals being a class act and are humble people. No chips on either of these guys shoulders! We've taking photos with them together and they were always so very gracious giving us the time to do so. They are so professional behind the horn and equally as much while in front of their horns!!!
