So my folks went to get an AMG CLK the other day and the dealership didn't have one. (They got a regular CLK instead)

My mom just called and said that dad was mad that he didn't get the 600hp AMG so he is going to get a Z06 vette right now. (Now they have two new fast coupes)

I guess they are there right now picking one up. I don't know what color or package. Either way I am going to go up and check it out on Saturday.

Are these things really as fast as they say?

I have clocked myself at 0-60 4.7 seconds in vettes and firebirds, what can I expect with this car? (I expect whiplash could be a concern)

If we go out on the highway, how long would it take to get up to 120 and back down? (I don't need THAT ticket.)

150?

150+?

I know some of the more recent models have cool stuff with the computer like race style braking options if you hold a certain button down for a couple of seconds. This have anything like that?

Is there anything else cool that I don't even know about?

Anyway, I just don't know what to expect when I see this thing and now I am really damned curious.

Thanks.

Welcome Aboard! The Z06 is a very capable car. They can run low 11s stock and easy 10's with light mods. I think there was one guy who got into the 10's on a stock Z06 with some seriously negative density-altitude.

Tell them cngrats for me and have them post up some picks when they have some!:thumbsup:

CONGRATS to your parents on the new Z06. I am sure they will love it!

Please post some pics for us to see.

Mercede and Corvette your parent have good taste in automobiles.

Sounds like a great car!

Are you getting a set of keys to it????:smack: :smack: :smack:
