Default Re: Anybody thinking about buying a new ZO6 Corvette?

Supposed to be an upcoming article outlining the details, but not bad for a car that was reported to be *stock* and wearing street shoes...it put the smack down on a lot of hi-buck Supercars...

Excellent!!! Anything sub 8:00 minutes is smoking.

Jan Magnussen has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans at least twice so he's a bit more of a hot shoe than most of us. The Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR that ran the same time as the ZO6 is about $500k+ (Klaus Ludwig is no slouch either, having won a ton of endurance races). The Porsche Carrera GT that ran 7:28 is $500k (proves that Rally drivers are the best - Walter Rohrl is the Audi multi-world champion):



FYI if you are wondering what a Pagoni Zonda (7:44) is:
