Pretty Sure the Z06 ! and it is even under $70K ! (before taxes)


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Again .. lots of people will start posing whatever car with whatever upgrade will be fastest .... such as spend $3000 to buy a 1988 Mustang .. then spend $75,000 on it ...

I think you want to know the fastest Brand New cars .. right ?

Also... rounder up will be : Lotus Elise, STi, M3 manual, C55, Vette, SVT Corba ... those are some other cars can do under 5 second, and around 13 sec in 1/4

What do I miss ?

No ..

but for under $80K SLK AMG is probaby one of the Quickest roadster can buy ...

and for under $70K C32 is also one of the quickest sedan to buy .. ( with decent options .. probaby add 5K )

gto runs high 13s, even though both use the LS1, the corvettes are significantly faster

gto weighs like 3700 lbs, pretty heavy

nothing under 80k is going to beat a z06 on anything its tires can stick to :)

Z06 have the LS6, base corvettes have the LS1. LS6 rated at 405hp, LS1 350hp. Corvette according to chevy can do the 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds stock (prob lies).

i know this, but i was intending to say the base corvette with the ls1 is faster than a gto also with the ls1.

the z06 with the ls6 is alot faster than both of course. ive heard of high 11s on slicks.

africano
06-19-2004, 07:39 PM
Using the good old 1/4 mile et calculator it turns out:

Corvette Z06: 3118 lbs, 405hp= 12.402 @ 115.88mph
Pontiac GTO: 3761 lbs, 350hp= 13.634 @ 104.37mph


Only sad news is it looks like the C6 is gonna be slower according to this http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/corvette05.asp


And I thought chevy was gonna bump the displacement and increase hp to 460 :whipped:

naw man, now the BASE model C6 is 400hp (up from 350) and the z06 is still unannounced, some places are reporting that its going to be around 500 for the c6 z06 (or whatever they change the z06 name to)

so...its not really slower :D

africano
06-19-2004, 10:04 PM
That's what I thought, Hot Rod was talkin' 460hp but that was a while back. Still engine bumped up in displacement like they said, so I was like WTF!?


Still with the added torque in the curve, should be about the same.

A Viper is slightly more than $125,000 new, and the ZO6 and Viper are about the same for performance.

There was a Z06 at Racecity on Friday, a black one. It ran 13.8 not sure what the mph was. I believe they run around 110mph with a good driver here in Calgary. A GTS Viper runs mid 12's around 115mph. You can pick up an 04 Z06 for around $65 plus tax right now.

Z06 is defintely best bang for your buck. Next in line would be a Mustang Cobra.

As mentioned, a z06 would eat a GTO's lunch, then come back to steall it's dinner. We don't get GTO's in Canada either btw. :cry:

For the price range, the z06 is a crazy bargain. Make mine silver with heads / cam package. :bigpimp:

I think we should exclude the Z06 because it costs more than $80K. :rolleyes:

They list at $77,440. Doesn't include extended warranty. GST alone puts them at $82,860.00. And that's BASE Z06, no further upgrades.

I guess the point is if you only had 80K to spend, you'd not be picking up your Z06. You'd work a couple more weeks, and THEN pick it up!

Sort of right, but GM offer huge discount and rebate on today Vette, since new 2005 is coming.

Even 3 yrs ago, I looked at the Z06, the dealer offer me reasonable discount as well, I couldn't remember how much, but from low $70K plus tax reatail to high $60K (just under $70K)plus taxes.

Still, best power/performace for the buck !

Too bad the 2004 E55 AMG comes in at $114,150.00...

In my opinion, a much better daily driver than a Z06 and almost as fast.

I think I'll get one. Right after I sell my house.

am i the only one who realizes that the camaro's first year of production was 1967, not 1965 as this fellow wants claims? Seriously ban this idiot for strait out lying.

Im sorry to do this, but it has to be done. The camaro was not even given the green light to begin development until late (august) 1964 (when it would have had to have been released to be a 1965 model), and it was introduced an amazingly short 24 months later, in fall of 1966 (as the 1967 model year camero).

In terms of engines, the 1967 camaro DID had a 290hp (thought to be underrated) 302ci engine available (to homoligate for trans-am racing) in Z28 trim (which is pretty rare for the 1967 model year). Car and Driver tested a '68 Z/28 at an amazing 5.3-second 0-60, 13.8 seconds at 107 mph for the quarter-mile, but hardly a high 11 run as claimed. A 65 "302" camaro did not exist.

googe
06-22-2004, 08:09 PM
Well, keep in mind these are bone stock, off the lot...if youve done any tuning at all, or are even using slicks for that matter, it doesnt really apply

Some cars on here can jump several positions with only a couple grand put into them, so in that sense its not going to be totally accurate with real world performance

Theyre only magazine-tested times, on different tracks, even years apart, so its only good for a ballpark figure

so now you and your dad know more than chevrolet, who supposedly made it, and the whole internet (face it, if something exists, its on the internet)

easy way to settle this, why dont you tell us the VIN number? :D


June, 1966. The Camaro name.

Just weeks before production began, the name "Camaro" was decided on. General Manager Elliott M. "Pete" Estes announced the name publicly, quipping, "I went into a closet, shut the door and came out with the name." Camaro is French for "comrade, pal, or chum," according to an obscure 1935 French-to-English dictionary.

September 21, 1966. Camaro for sale.

The 1967 Camaro hit dealer showrooms and was eagerly accepted by the public. The basic sport coupe had a standard six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission with a base price of only $2,466. More than 80 options, including a V-8 engine, SS-350 Package and RS Package, among others, were available, which brought the price of delivered cars to over $3,500.

because im an anoying guy, i have done more research. here is a site listing production numbers for all camaro's up to 1981, in their forms. http://www.yearone.com/updatedsinglepages/Id_info/camaro/camaroprodnums.html

Note this # : 1967 - Z/28 - 602 units produced.

So they only produced 602 302ci camaro's in 1967, and yet 2 years earlier, they released 2500 of them, before they had even begun the promotion blitz that put them in trans-am racing that was the purpose of producing the 302 camaro???

1 more thing, though i can find the exact time frame for the development of the 302, i know that it was developed specifically for the camaro to compete in the trans-am series. They took a 327 block and used a 283 crank to shorten the stroke to get the displacement down and the revs up (not a 350 crank like you claim). But what im saying is that they most likely didnt even have 2500 of these engines produced in 1965 to be able to put them in your mystery camaro's.


Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

The problem was that the engine needed to be reved up to 7500rpm, and didnt have much low end torque (by 1967 standards). It was not a great drag car due to this reason, yet still set some amazing 1/4 times ranging from mid-high 13-s to mid-high 14's. With some engine work it is possible to get it to high 11's, but difficult. The 67 though is still a very rare car, considering only 602 (or 609 depending on source) were produced.


but this is way off topic, and the question has been answered, so we can let this die now.

I am assuming he meant currently in production. 2004/2005 only.

He also said fast lap time. The old muscle cars of 60's and 70's were meant for going fast in a straight line only. AutoX was not their specialty.

14" bias-ply tires and sponge like suspension are not a good road course setup.

Something else people are forgetting. All those old classic late-60s/early-70s muscle cars were designed to run on high-octane LEADED fuel. Tuned for today's normal unleaded pump gas they won't be nearly as fast as when they were tested in their heyday.

Sure you can run race gas, but that's not what this original thread was asking.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII MR. Case closed.

:closed:

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=39&article_id=1254

If you read the full magazine article, the 0-60 time for the car is 4.3 seconds which is in Porsche 911 turbo territory. Plus not many cars in the world period can handle with the EVO at any speed. The car is coming to the US, not sure about Canada. We'll be happy just to get the regular EVO VIII up north.:cry:

Yeah if only currency exchange on cars was that exact lol! A better estimate for how much a car will be in Canada is with USD as they're right across the border and more likely to impact market cost in Canada.

From the article heavyD posted:
"And best of all, according to Sam Mitani, the MR is bound for the U.S. “This baby is definitely headed our way,” says the editor of SPEED. Look for the MR to sell for around an amazingly low $33,000."

33,000 USD => 43,440.67 CAD

Even accounting for price deviation between the US and Canada, the car is a far cry from $80,000 CAD, so it does qualify.

it does qualify for the under $80k... It is priced around $33k USD, but I doubt it would be faster than z06. The MR is pretty light, and 4wd... who knows

I'd suspect the Westfield Megabusa is by far the fastest stock production car for that price.
