Thanks to Edmunds U-Drag. While result were as expected, it was interesting too. Thanks to CorvetteBlogger for the heads up.

That was an interesting video. The stingray went door to door with the z06 to about 55 mph and then the z06 pulled away impressive. The stingray owners have impressive handling and braking too…not as excellent as the z06 but excellent all the same.
both are great and since many of us are years away might as well enjoy what we have.

Based on many of the 0 to 60 tests I have seen with a majority of them showing 0 to 60 at 2.8 seconds for both the Z06 and Z51 it should be very close if not the same up to that point but afterwards for Z 06/07 will pull away.Originally posted by JB View Post
For me one of the greatest enjoyments I get driving my C8 Z51, (knowing I will never use all the capabilities of the car) is stepping at it from a red light where the speed limit is 55 to 60 mph and blowing most any other vehicle into the weeds😍2020 Torch Red Z51, Mag Ride, 2LT, Two tone GT2 seats (Black Red), Front Lift, Engine Appearance, Red Engine Cover, Red Calipers, Carbon Flash Wheels, Mirrors/Spoiler, Black Lugs, R8C Museum DeliveryComment

The Stingray is such a super impressive car. Remember the power of the L88’s; made 0-60 in 5.3 seconds on average, though a few drag strip times in the mid 4’s were recorded. As we all know a no-option Stingray is a 3.0 second car. Amazingly fast.2023 Z06: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, CCB’s, 3LZ, E60, and with every visible carbon fiber option order-able including wheels.

Like everyone else above has said, the Stingray is an awesome car! For street use, the Z06 doesn't really have any advantages if you are obeying the posted speed limits 😂. Would love to have one, but I'm more than happy with my loaded HTC Stingray 😁2021 2LT HTC, front lift, MRCS, GT2 natural Napa 2 tone seats, Perf. exh and all wrapped in Red Mist metallic, lowered w/Paragon collars and riding on BC Forged wheels 😎

Pretty cool but this doesn’t help the wait. Dang….I’ve got to stop watching these videos. It’s like picking a wound it just hurts and hurts.Last edited by MikeC8; 03-10-2023, 09:58 AM.2023 HTC. Black/ black TPW 3/27

True of the stingray compared to a SUV if we consider traffic laws in addition to speed limits. Using the car's power and handling within posted speed limits might be seen as racing behavior or reckless driving depending upon the situation.Originally posted by MidLife View Post
No knock on the stingray. My z51 was a great car.
