Listen, we all know this race is going to end with the 2023 Corvette Z06 running circles around its lesser Stingray sibling. But just how drastically will the Z06 annihilate the Stingray? That’s what we wanted to find out, so we put them on our Edmunds U-Drag track to see how things shook out. Edmunds’ Clint Simone takes you through our Corvette Z06 vs. Stingray U-Drag in the video above!
What is a U-Drag race?
A U-Drag race consists of both cars heading down the track like a standard drag race, then braking hard, flipping around and then heading back.

Was this race closer than you thought? The Z51 Stingray is not a car that should be underestimated.

This, like the comparison of the Z06 to the McLaren, shows how impressive the Stingray is. Do one with a Stingray against an older C6 Z06! That would be interesting. The C6 Z has more power and less weight but the modern Stingray has better launch control, weight distribution, etc. I think it would be awesome.

@saltyfloridaman7163 Год назад

@Edmunds Cars did you lower the tire pressure to 24psi on the Z06? It's necessary for full contact patch. 35psi on the door panel is for street riding so the tire displaces water. It beads the tire. It says to lower the tire pressure to 24psi in the manual as a result. Performance is affected very noticeably

The 0-60 on the Stingray is way better than it should be for a RWD car. Launches favorably with AWD cars with more power some how. Even the Z06 wasn't much different up to 60mph.

@danieldickerson4838 Год назад

2.8 for the Stingray vs 2.6 for the Z06, so to 60 it’s very close between the two in that regard. Afterwards, the Z06 reigns supreme all day, especially on track. The Stingray is not to underestimated though.

Around town, the z can't shake the regular. Even on the freeway, you never really get rid of the base model. Add a supercharger to the base for a few thou and now it's much closer on the freeway, while saving tens of thousands of dollars, plus interest. You can do all this or just procharge, exhaust, tune a c5 z and sound even better, saving nearly $100k. No brainer.

@lewnetoons Год назад

I think a C1 would be impossible, but a C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8. Alot of options in these groups, but would be interesting to see the advancements through each generation.

@swordmonkey6635 Год назад

It would be a handling sh*tshow until the C6 era. The later C4 ZR-1 was a beast, but an anomaly compared to the normal C4: a 2 OHC Mercury Marine built V8 engine with suspension designed by Lotus.... a beast. The later model C4s could pull 1g on a skid pad, but on a twisting road, they were shaking and creaking like crazy. Not very good at weight rotation in S turns. There would be a couple of straight line demons from the C2 and early C3 eras running the insane big blocks, but cornering by modern standards would be considered floaty.

@lewnetoons Год назад

@Sword Monkey agreed, but that is what would make it interesting. I have had C3s C4s and currently a C5, none compare to the hypercars of today, but still would be interesting to see how different they really are.

The stingray driver and the Z06 driver has already said that the latter car has too much power to put down on the ground. It was also said that the Corvette eray is the quickest accelerating Corvette ever. That is because of the all-wheel drive setup in that car which would allow it to put the full power down. I would like to see that race happens to prove that the eray is in fact the quickest Corvette ever and if it's worth the buy

About the U-drag concept- (Apart from this particular video) One turn is not revealing enough to expose which car is superior at cornering. Many more turns would be needed to prove the better handling car. For example, if the comparison was between cars with a not-so obvious winner. Say, Lamborghini STO vs Porsche GT3, etc.
