Fuel injection in the late '50's, independent rear suspension from '63 onward. The Z06 is a fine automobile, and I think its amazing that they do what they do with PUSHRODS, the only non-technologically advanced part of the car.

What they do with pushrods? I guess a 4000 horsepower pushrod engine is nothing compared to a rotory?[/quote]

And just how big is that 4000hp engine? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



I'm trying to say that I think its GREAT that Chevy can do that much with a design that is inherently limited by its design. I never said anything about it compared to a rotary.

dude the vette is not overrated.. for the money its fast as hell and handles great... my cousin has one and it flies. and the z06 runs a 12.6 1/4 stock. one of the problems is that no one who knows how to drive has one. like 80% are sold with auto's anyway

some 2002 Z06s have run 11.9s bone stock. definately a rarity but amazing nontheless.

Z06's run 12.6's at 116mph that is the rated for them. I know some people will do better most will do worse....



Just like some of the mustang Cobra's and SS camaro's....



The 03 Cobra's are capable of 12.4's bone stock though several people have gotten them well into the 11's with just slicks and a throw away pulley from a lightning. But most I feel will prolly only run mid 13's due to dumb drivers....



Kind of sad honestly!



I will admit that most of the american cars have been behind in previous years... but it looks like they are finally starting to catch up to imported vehicles quality and reliability wise. Though the fit and finish on several of the cars could be better (Corvette and Mustang in the 30k up range)

But who needs fit and finish when your fast??? lol





Sorry bout the Continental man! But the Supra looks pretty sweet. Whats done to it?
