This guy’s hate blog is a funny read: > **[PeterMJ's Corvette C7 Stingray and Z06 Exposed](http://corvettec7fiasco.blogspot.com/)** > > How General Motors failed to create a better Corvette This is only one page: > [@corvettec7fiasco](#): > > **2015 Nissan GTR Nismo brutally rapes 2015 Corvette C7 Z06 on the drag strip and track, reaffirming already known problems** > +Tadge Juechter must be having a truly shitty day-and he certainly earned every minute of it!!! > > Considering the $1000 price increase on all C7 Corvettes just announced today, the revealing comparison set up by Motor Trend magazine could not come at the better time, LMAO. > > All this hard work Juechter and Jim Mero did on Milford and VIR tracks just went out of the proverbial window, with a substantial amount of smoke team Corvette continues to blow. > > So what happened here? The heavy Nissan GTR Nismo managed not to just obliterate the newest flagship at the dragstrip and in 0-60 runs but to formalize the demise of the Z06, raped it on the Willow Springs track, not just by a fraction of a second but by entire TWO SECONDS and 280 feet lead. This is not just a minor set back, this is a complete obliteration of the newest flagship, the car Juechter continues to peddle as the “most track capable Corvette ever”. > > Good ole Randy Pobst managed to get only ONE LAP before overheating and supercharger related timing pull took place, rendering the Z06 completely incapable of continuing its track adventures. > > Some very interesting facts were observed as well, nothing that comes as a surprise but certainly worth of mentioning again and again: the shitty aerodynamics of the car literally make the Z06 worthless on a track, regardless of its ground effects level since the car becomes right down dangerous when the shitty level 3 ground effects are removed, due to severe oversteer the Z06 exhibited with downforce removed up front and in the rear, making the car prone to spinning its tail, ultimately causing loss of control and whatever may come with it. > > The same shitty aerodynamics were directly responsible for terrible exit speeds and absolute lack of acceleration on straights, something that did not cause any issues for the considerably heavier but also considerably more aerodynamic GTR Nismo. > > As already pointed out in this blog before, there is no way in hell the newest flagship is capable of (assuming it can actually finish even one lap) recording a good run on Nurburgring track. No matter how much kool aid Juechter may be serving to the brain dead Z06 buyers and enthusiasts, the jig is up and there is nothing at all anyone in GM can do about it. The car is still a great purchase-for those who like to practice their paint correction skills, enjoy spending time at their local dealership, love mingling with the tow truck drivers and are not in a hurry to make it to the next Cars and Coffee gathering. > > Even though Randy Pobst was very diplomatic here, stating that while Z06 is more fun to drive (spinning the tail can be lots of fun), he would use the GTR Nismo to set record lap times on a track. Indirectly, this is a very firm assurance no Nurburgring lap time will be happening ever during this generation of Corvette. > > Once again, raising the price on this verified POS flagship is as funny as the automotive comedy can get. Yes, paying another thousand for a car that cannot do anything as advertised is super funny. Is it time for Juechter to start whining Randy Pobst cannot drive?

Wow that guy is mad - - - Updated - - - “As illustrated in this example, with the car ALLEGEDGLY producing over 660 rwhp (over 800 at the crank), the new Z06 should be reaching about 132 mph at the end of the quarter mile but it reaches only 128 instead… Being conservative again, assuming total car weight with the driver at about 3750 lbs, there is a difference of about 300 lbs to make the numbers make any sense. If indeed, there is no lost horsepower here, then there is only one explanation that makes sense here: the car gains about 300 lbs worth of DOWNFORCE during those quarter mile runs…” Nobody told him manufactures don’t put RWHP on the sticker? ---

I think we are starting to get to a point with street cars where people are complaining that their street car is not doing a good job of being an actual race car. This is something that never used to be a problem because street cars didn’t have such high limits. ---

damn, not my video so I can’t cross-post or whatever… In-car recording is badass, gives you a bumper view, currenty speed, throttle position, 0-60mph time, 0-100 time, 1/4 mile time and 100-0 time. We did a 3.6 0-60, 11.7 1/4 mile and a 146 top speed … it was pretty fun. - - - Updated - - - > [@LZ](#): > > Meh nobody needs that much power should just buy a BRZ instead Don’t worry, next time I meet someone with a BRZ I’ll get my own video.
