The new c6 is managing a 7:56 around the Nordschleife at the Nurburgring. The c5 Z06 should have very similiar times. The Z51 and Z06 c6's should do even better ;)

Some times to compare:
7:56 - Porsche 996 GT3 (in 2000)
7:56 - Porsche 996 Turbo (in 2000)
7:56 - NSX Type R
7:52 - Gemballa Porsche 993
7:55 - GSX-R 750 -98
7:55 - Kawasaki ZX-9R
8:09 - Lamborghini Diablo SV
8:05 - 2002 Ferrari 575 Maranello
8:09 - Porsche 993 GT2
8:07 - Ferrari 550 Maranello
8:13 - Ferrari F355
8:22 - BMW E46 M3

edit - finally found numbers for the standard c5, 8:19
also found 2 more worth mentioning:
Lamborghini Gallardo 7:52
Ferrari Stradale 7:56

7.55 - gsxr 750
7.55 - kawasaki zx-9r

not bad for something that has only two wheels and cost less than $12000 compared to some of those with exotic cars with $100,000+ price tags. I so miss my bike. :(

I have to admit that I sort of liked lightnings until i found out they were automatic....man, I'm glad I got over them in a week, I would be so bummed if I got one! The engine sounded like crap.

:roll:

When was the last time you drove a manual tranny 400 hp truck, or any newer v8 truck for that matter? The supercharged 5.4 sounds amazing, that blower whine is nice =)

i heard the new lightnings will have 500hp and 550 pounds of torque?!?!?.. i'd drive that f**ker all day long..... and they look tits too :thumbs up
that beamers ok too but there's m3's everywhere here... i'd take the lighting just because it's more rare around here and imo it looks better

that and there's a kid around here running in a lightning that he's put about $2500 in mods that runs low 11's that smokes pretty much everything he comes against... that m3 wouldnt stand a chance against his truck... pretty sad when you realize you're comparing a pickup truck to a semi-exotic bmw sports car

haha o god that was funny, those guys were stupid....not dissing on domestics cuz vettes and mustangs are some of my favorite cars ever but that lightning was crap....that blower whine is like the most annoying sound ive ever heard..driving that every day id go crazy
m3's kick ass they run low 13's, my friend danny did a 12.9 stock in his
ford lightings run high 13's low 14s so yea...funny ish.
but id agree that a vette would beat that m3 pretty hardcore depending on what kind it was

i think if the guy in a nice m3 but 2500 into his m3 he would keep up with that lighting no problem....u cant compare a modded car to a stock car

The SRT-10 Ram has a manual tranny, no?

Only because dodge doesn't have an automatic strong enough to handle the torque from the viper motor. There was a big controversy about using a manual in that truck. It would make it extremely difficult to drive/launch.

So you're admitting that I disproved your original statement :D? Wow, I actually won a round...
