GM wanted to give people a car that they can comfortably daily drive on the street, with convenience, or go cross country and then take it to the track for fun.

True price wise but, the C8 ZO6, GT3 RS and Turbo S are in different lanes. We own both the C8 ZO6 and Turbo S and the difference on track is staggering. I'm ok with the difference on track because the Turbo S was purchased to handle daily, and cross-country travels through all types of weather without a hiccup. Our C8 ZO6 and C7 ZO6 handle track and daily street duty with the occasional long-distance travel. I don't own but have driven the GT3 not RS version on track and street. On track the vehicle is outstanding. On the street not so much.

Crossover into both is a compromise in each area. Daily I’d take a Turbo S. track car for that money a cup car or maybe an open wheel alll will absolutely completely destroy that vette. So potato potato. It’s the things people don’t think about or have actually done. Your response is common. So I know you’ve never been in a real track car or spent much time on an actual race track.

The 911 Turbo S is just the best car ever made. Edit: also dang I’m glad we finally have some guys who use Sport mode instead of Sport Plus because it keeps the wing and splitter retracted for lower drag.

We own both the Turbo S and C8 ZO6. Both vehicles share daily duties however, only the ZO6 is capable of handling track duties. Don't get me wrong our Turbo can be tracked however, not at the level of a ZO6. By the way nice catch concerning the proper use of Sport mode.

@@ronretired Tracking the Turbo S doable, I have a friend with one. He's done the whole 3RS suspension setup with the Turbo S dampers. It's a great mix of performance but skews away from the Turbo's general purpose. Previously owned a C6Z with a full LG suspension and JTM stage 4 setup. Capable of wild lap times at NJMP and 9sec quarters @141mph on the same Toyo R888R tires. The Vettes remain some of the best bang for the buck you can get. Kudos on the C7 and C8 Zed's

"Don't think an internal combustion engine can ever come out on top again." Sounds ominously true.

It took the same amount of distance (about 600 feet) to stop from 200-150 that it did to stop from 150-0 for the 911 Turbo S, but HALF the time (2.6-2.7s vs 5.4s). No fade WHATSOEVER. Those are some DAMN good brakes.

Weird I noticed

I am obsessed with the Z06. I'm so glad it's getting the recognition and hype.

Unfortunately I believe we've already seen, thanks to Ms Hartford's efforts, the limitations of the dual clutch gearbox on the C8 prevent that platform from accepting high power modifications.

'It's highly unlikely that an internal combustion car could come out on top, ever again.' Yes, for what they lack in character, they more than make up for in sheer speed... and there really is something delightful about the way a good high performance EV effortlessly accelerates. You have to experience it to understand what I mean.

Awesome test. Next year I would like to see some vehicles like the Audi RS6 and a BMW M5 and maybe some others as well. Although the Hyundai, Honda and VW could do the test they really didn’t fit with the rest of the group and same goes for the Bentley SUV. But all in all it was a great test.

Love how the Turbo S can consecutively run 200+ mph all day and still pick up groceries and drive it home at the end of the day.

I think that time is a bit optimistic: C&D did an official test at about 14.5 seconds. Legendary Ken Miles was reported to have done it in 13.8 seconds so I’m thinking 10 seconds is still a bit of a myth If memory serves, the late 60s 427 Chevy Corvette Stingray was the only car that even came close at 14.8? And remember this was over 50 years ago, back before a lot of electronic injection and other performance parts existed! Car Company Execs: Make it fast! Engineers in the 60s: Hold my beer!

People really need to give the Z06 the credit it deserves. All I ever see is people praising Porsche. Look at what the Z06 is doing while being 100K cheaper. N/A V8, brakes well, second fastest to 150, handles great. It is undoubtedly the best on track performance bargain amongst this group

I will always drive an internal combustion engine. The sound, the soul of the motor is what I love.
