What's more cringe is street racing vs going to a track. But you can't jump the third honk and the timeslips don't lie. Same reason "canyon warriors" don't want to go to the track. They don't want to see a 60-year old man in a Miata beat on their M car because they aren't actually as fast as they think they are. |

I still go to the track. Most canyon roads I don’t full send like I used to in my late teens early 20s because there’s just too much risk of another car or biker. However, there is 1 or 2 CLOSED roads with no construction or rocks or houses that I sneak through occasionally to basically have my own “track” with no one around. But i can’t go more than 70-80% even on a closed road. I wish the USA had track access like Europe. The Nurburgring functions more like a toll road than “track days” in the us which have a $150-300 entry fee and stricter rules 😭 Also. I get what you're saying. But I doubt a miata could defeat an M canyon warrior even on a track. The truth is, the acceleration in a f80/g80 will leave the miata far behind. So yes in the end they win by sheer power and straight lines and prove they're slow in the corners whwre it matters, but for people like this a win is a win 👍🏻 |

But the "gap" thing is really more related to "roll racing" on the highway. Where guys build super high HP cars and race from 40-130+. |

I don't even care if the z06 qualifies as a Supercar when it comes to lap times. It's an amazing sports car. The 911 gt3 is called a sports car and the z06 is in its league or slightly above. It's one of the best American sports cars ever made. I used to laugh at corvettes, until the c8 z06 which is the first time Americans admitted their old designs are outdated and aren't great and finally decided to not just steal the Ferrari look as theyve always done, but be inspired and make an awesome NA v8 flatplane crank which is how every v8 that sings a beautiful song should be. |

However what we know of to be the definition of the past, the z06 now sits in that class. That's all i'm saying. I don't care if people really don't think it is a supercar. But it's just a fact that it is now. They'll learn to accept it and put their insecurities aside and embrace it. I just find it funny people getting mad about it. That's my entertainment in this thread LOL

Motor sport magazine test of the 992 GT3 RS vs the Corvette C8 Z06 at Magny-Cours.
The Corvette was over .5 seconds faster than the GT3 RS and just behind the McLaren Senna on the leaderboard. https://youtu.be/w9s5AB8U56E https://youtu.be/Q5aAHU4teiU |

With Savagegeese showing a significantly difference in turn speed on the course with the Z06 and GT3, I'd say something is wrong with the test above. The RS would be even faster in the turns, not slower. The testers with Savagegeese went pretty far to ensure both cars were on equal standing for tires, conditions, etc. If you look at other results for the GT3 RS, it's in a totally different league than the GT3 and the Z06 with far more engineering and should not be competing with it, except in a drag race.

After sending my initial deposit in November of 2021 for the C8Z, I have finally requested a refund from Ciocca. Done with the shady game.
I'd be lucky to get mine a year from now at the rate things are going and I was just over 250 on their list. They got 180 allocations to date, but they've only called up to 124 on the list? Countdown to someone suing them for deceptive business practices. I'll buy something else.
