Okay, I happen to be in a rush today, so I'll make this a little more straight-forwardThe Corvette Z06 can be compared to many cars, yet almost no matter what you pair it with, the Z06 emerges victorious. It's a budget-minded supercar. So to show how great the Z06 is in the performance realm, I'll compare it to the Lamborghini Gallardo (stats are from Road & Track road tests). While the Galardo costs $200K, the Corvette goes for around $65K. Gallardo, 520bhp, Corvette, 505. As for top speed, the Gallardo gets up to 195mph while the Z06 reaches 198mph. Breaking from 60-0, Gallardo takes 108ft, the Corvette is slightly longer at 118ft. The Lambo gets a 70.6mph on the slalom, and the Chevy gets 71.2mph. R&T Magazine got 9.3mpg while testing the Gallardo, and the Z06 wins again with 14.1mpg. As for 0-60 and 0-100, the Z06 wins that contest as well, getting 3.6 and 8.5 seconds (respectively), while the Gallardo gets 3.8 and 8.8 seconds. The Z06 wins in the quarter-mile as well (12sec@121mph vs. 12.1sec@116.9mph).
As you can see, the Corvette wins in almost every category. In addition, R&T named the Corvette's engine as the best sports car V8 (in a sports car showdown featuring an Aston Martin, Audi R8, and Ferrari F430). Gotta love it!
Oh, and the Z51 is even cheaper (~$45K), but not too much slower than the Z06. If you search hard enough, you can get the two Corvette models for $10K-$15K less when used. So with that said, I click the Publish button on the bottom right of my text box.
