the weight and aceleration still wrong.I checked other sources and they
confirmed 4.0s 0-100 and 1459 not 1469 kg. 1459 it's curb

There is no Z51. It's just the new 08 C6
Anonymous 10/07/08, 07:15:46
Z51 is a sport packages so there is one..
Anonymous 29/08/08, 00:16:14
What's the difference between this car and the normal C6?
Unonamis 29/08/08, 00:38:24
Now that the new Corvette is out, nothing.
Anonymous 29/08/08, 09:20:59
But still. Does this handle any better or have better brakes than the Corvette
C6?
Chiesi 02/09/08, 12:42:35
handles much better! the nordschleife time it's for c6 ... not c6 z51
Anonymous 02/09/08, 14:01:08
You mean that this time above, is for the 2008 Corvette C6 LS3?
Chiesi 02/09/08, 17:07:12
Yep! I have a C6 LS3 Z51 and my friend has de normal C6 LS3. Z51 handles much
better. I think something about 7:50-7:55 for Z51. Next year I'll buy a ZR1,
Uhuuu!!
Georg 02/09/08, 17:41:02
Chiesi 02/09/08, 20:36:04
fair enough! The time should be around 7:50-7:55
Chiesi 25/09/08, 20:52:24

weight corrected..your claimed time is for 0-60mph not 0-100km/h 4.3s is correct
for 0-100km/h that is the claim of Corvette europe...
What does that "Z51" mean? Or is it meaningless? It's just a regular 2008
Corvette C6 with new wheels and new engine. (God, how could I call that a "new
engine"? It's still a thing of past. 8 fat cylinders with 16 pushrod operated
valves.)
