edit, found some more crap:

http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/d...data_panel.pdf

Road & Track has a very in-depth test, and this one also included the SRT-10 Coupe, so whenever that topic comes around we can use the data panel over there too...

Wet weight of Z06
 
I scan this out of EVO. They weighed the Z06 with all fluids and a full tank of fuel and got 1443kg. They also calculated the power to weight ratio according to the measured weight.

Some more 0-60mph performance times -

Motor Trend - 3.5 seconds
"We bolted our own test equipment to a car at GM's Milford Proving Ground and found it had grunt enough to hurl this 3147-pound coupe to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds"
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...z06/index.html

Car and Driver - 3.6 seconds (October 2005)
"A few days after our trip, we took a Z06 to GM's Milford proving ground and tested it. It ripped to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds, hit 100 in 7.9, and 150 in 17.5."
http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtest...z06-page2.html

Car and Driver - 3.4 seconds (December 2005)
"We're still buzzing over the Z06's ferocious 3.4-second burst to 60 mph. That's two-tenths quicker than the Z06 we tested in October."
http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...vette-z06.html

*The Car and Driver bit from October also has 0-100mph and 0-150mph times

yg60m 06-18-2006 06:09 AM

There will be a complete french test of the Z06 in 10 days by a very serious belgium-french magazine, can't wait for the results :wink:
