i dont think the stang can be compared to these cars...

 

difference is the vette hasn't had a continuous production run since 1953, they've stopped production iirc a couple times.

the viper, I believe first year was 1993, and then it was only what a 12 second car stock?

the mustang is if I remember correctly the only car to have ever been in continious production for this long

 

What does the C6 Z06 run on the nurburgring?

 

7:42 I believe, right behind the Ford GT.

I wish they would have given the Z06 a do over

 

never was production stopped, they did skip at least one model year, 1983 when the newer generation came out and the "stingray" was dropped, C3 to C4

• 2 C1 (1953-1962)
• 3 C2 (1963-1967 Sting Ray)
• 4 C3 (1968-1982 Stingray)
• 5 C4 (1983-1996)
  • 5.1 B2K Callaway Twin-Turbo
  • 5.2 ZR-1 (1990-1995)
  • 5.3 Grand Sport (1996)
  • 5.4 Collector Edition (1996)
• 6 C5 (1997-2004)
  • 6.1 Z06 (2001-2004)
  • 6.2 C5-R
• 7 C6 (2005-)
  • 7.1 Z06 (2006-)
  • 7.2 ZR1 (2009-)
  • 7.3 C6.R

 

Im with you. Your talking high end 2 seat sports cars Vs. pony car. I do love that Vipers & Vettes are showing the rest of the world we mean business.

 

iirc the viper in 1993 was a low 13 second car (maybe a well driven one could tag a high 12...).. i am trying to dig up old numbers but I keep seeing 13.1~13.3 everywhere...

 

Do you think that driver has only driven the track just once, cmon im sure he must have done it tons of time. Plus shaving 2 senconds is A LOT

 

like i said, cacimar...knowing a course and KNOWING the course and the lines change with weather, temperature....so 2 seconds might be a lot of time, but 4 scs is double that, and i don't think the ZR1 is maxed out yet.

 

AZ2000.5gt can attest to this fact.
