Played with a new Z06 today
- Thread starter twinvipers
- Start date
Last fall I tested 2 of my cars: a stock '07 Z06 and a stock '05 GT in 1st, 2nd and 3rd from 2000 and 3000 rpm in each gear. No shifting, no driver skill, just the cars accelerating through a gear. My seat-of-the-pants feeling was the cars would be very similar in 1st and 2nd but the GT would be noticeably stronger in 3rd gear. 1st gear was essentially equal with a slight edge to the Z06. 2nd gear was a modest advantage for the Z06, 3rd gear was a more obvious advantage for the Z06. Although this surprised me and the friend who was driving the GT, it doesn't mean anything other than this particular Z06 was faster than that particular GT, because neither of these cars has had a similar acceleration test against anything else. However; that GT is having a baseline dyno and custom tune this coming weekend. so it will be interesting to see what kind of power it was making from the fractory tune and what it lays down with a custom tune.
The tune is being done by Jerry W. - the founder of SCT, on a dyno jet at a Ford Dealer in Atlanta where the GT Guys will be doing some mods June 2-3.
Why don't you come to Atlanta next weekend. There's probably still time to order the performance mod parts, or just come for the custom tune.

Just fitted my '02 Z with 411 diff, and convinced that this car will keep up with or surpass anything out there 0-60 or 1/4 mile :thumbsup
Z06 vs GT
I just drove my GT at an open track at Reno-Fernley Raceway http://www.reno-fernleyraceway.com My friend let his friend drive his stock GT for one of the sessions. He drives a modified 06 Z06. He was amazed at the "awesome brakes & steering" of the GT compared to his Z06. The Z06 owners I know all swap out their brake lines (rubber lines on a high performance car? - come on Chevy), rotors & calipers since the stock system won't survive hard driving on a track. I love the 11" wide front rims the Z06 drivers just bolt up with no clearance problems though.

Kirby, When I was at the PRI show last December I met the crazy guys at SCT.
Anyhow Jerry should know Lidio owner of Alternative and if you click the link below you will see two links one with pully/accufab the other bone stock then a bone stock tune (on dyno jet) Jerry might want to look at the dydno A/F for a base line....But then again he's crazy I saw them playing late at night in Orlando with his F350 dually diesel trying to tear up the parking lot.
Well if it helps great if not have fun in hotlanta.
