Welcome, rxbkrs! I am afraid, what you see is what you can get. If there were
any lap times for this car they would most likely end up here in fastestlaps.
stop spamming..who cares what they claim.. even in US tests the C5 Z06 failed to
reach the number claimed here... at the 2003 Motortrend topspeed shootout the C5
Z06 reached disapointing 174mph so we don´t change it to 181mph if you can´t
come up with a test were the Z06 reale reached that speed...
Motortrend claimed the topspeed of the C5Z06 is aerodynamicly limited.. simple
fact at 174mph it runs out of power..

C5 Z06 does reach over 181mph. Please don't reference magazine articles, that's
infantile. But there is no sence addressing a TT owner so... Oh well.

ya know whatever if this site adminostrators arent going to put the right data
for there cArs (hence top speed)then the hell wiith them, we all know the vettes
top speed and thats all that matters, so whatever.
wiki is NO reference a high speed test of a US car by a US car magazine is a
referenc and there they claim the car only reach 174mph!!!!!!! Show me a
topspeed test were the car realy reached higher speeds
The C5 Z06 used the short geared M16 transmission..the topspeed was reached in
5th gear at engine redline of 6500rpm .. the 6th gear was an overdrive/economy
gear there the engine lacked the power to reach higher speeds!
The C5 Z06 WON'T hit over 174. You have to love cars with short fifth gears and
useless 6th gears -_-
Not to mention that 7:56 isn't too good considering it's specs...

wtf you mean 7:56 aint good? thats fkn awesome look at other cars with even more
hp andmor than double the price. look at the 360 cs more power ,lighter and 4
yimes its price, same withe the 996 911 turbo double its price and more power
more torque and 4wd..with 2 turbos..so id say thats pretttyyy damn good..
I love it when you guys compare factory claims with sportauto supertest
northloop numbers of other manufactory.. :))
The 1997 Corvette was tested by sportauto with 8:40min, the 2003 C5(special
edition with Z06 suspension parts) with 8:18min, the 2005 C6 with 8:15min...
driven by the same guy who drove the 360CS and 996 Turbo time you use as
referenz...

This car HAS a bigger top speed. There's no way it has the same top speed as the
385 hp version.
Majority of sources indicate top speed between 168 to 171 mph. Car in that video
probably is modified.

@ FastestLaps: Normally, this car has exact same hp as the previous C4 ZR-1(405
hp). Shouldn't they at least have the same top speed? Makes sense, right?
Anyhow, I know this has more acceleration because it's more lightweight.
Hey Georg, you are correct about the top speed, but if you think the C5Z06 can't
match up to the 360 or the 996 turbo, I suggest you check the times for the
other C5Z06. You will find it indeed turns in similar lap times to both of
them.
