Hello Kansas City, welcome back to Bespoke Automotive Refinement podcast. We are so glad that you joined us to talk more about what we do at Bespoke Automotive Refinement. Number one thing that we do is we talk about cars, pretty much all day, every day.
Thomas, do you ever go through a day without talking about cars at least once? No, no. And even if we weren’t in the business of doing the Kansas City car detailing stuff, I would still be talking about cars all the time. I love cars.
Oh, if there is ever like a second you’re on there, look on Facebook, not Messenger, Marketplace or Googling or watching videos or you pretty much just live and breathe cars. Again, I’m looking at car stuff right now. I am obsessed with cars and I am not afraid to admit it.
On today’s show, we’re going to be talking about one of Thomas’s absolute favorite cars, and that’s a Corvette. And we’re going to be breaking down what are cars, based on this list given, that could beat a Corvette. What are the cars on the list that could beat a Corvette? Top fastest cars that could beat a Corvette.
So it says, here’s a list of 20 cars that can beat a Corvette, whether it’s the legendary Z06, the ZR1, or even the C8 Corvette in terms of acceleration, lap times, top speed, overall performance. And then you can argue with that and see if you agree or disagree with that car. Okay.
Are you ready? Yeah. Number one, this is kind of interesting concept. Your favorite two cars put together is a Porsche 911 Turbo S compared to a Corvette.
Do you think it could beat it? I proved that a 911 Turbo S can in fact spank a Z06. Really? How did you prove it? I have a client who had one and he absolutely wrecked me. I didn’t think he would, because my car made more power.
But the thing about the 911 Turbo is it’s called Porsche physics. So the engine’s in the back. So even though the car made less power, it was able to… Porsche physics, or 911 physics allows the car to be pushed.
It’s easier to push something than it is to pull something. So my car made 650 horsepower, that 911 Turbo made 500, and it just pulled away from me because of that. And I was trying to get traction.
That car hooks up, it’s all wheel drive. So yeah, 100%, 911 Turbo S is faster than a Corvette Z06. Okay.
Number two is a Nissan GTR Nismo. No, I actually have a video on my phone proving that to be false. Really? I literally beat a Nismo GTR in the half mile.
He beat me out of the hole. He had me for the first eighth mile. And then it was just like every gear, I just kept going all the way from, ended up beating him by a car length.
And I think if you’re talking about around a track, yes. With turns, yes, a GTR is faster. They’re all wheel drive.
They have all wheel steer. They have these computers that can prevent the car from sliding. It basically has this thing that allows the car to go into a slide, but not get away from you.
And the Z06 doesn’t have that. It’s like, you’re either going to hit a tree or you’re going to keep it straight. So yeah, around a track, a GTR is faster in a straight line.
A Z06 is faster. I’ve proven this. Fact.
False. It’s all fact now. False.
I’ve actually beat, I’ve beat highly modified GTRs in a half mile with my Z06. And I beat a brand new Nismo that had like three, this guy literally drove it from the dealer strip really straight to this half mile event. And he was so pissed when I Like, well, what are you going to do? We paid like 200 grand for that car and I just absolutely annihilated it.
Wow. That’s wild. Number three is a Ferrari 488 Pista.
Well, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s really interesting. These three cars that you just named because you just named my, one of my all time dream cars, you named off my attainable dream car. And then number three was a car that my sister used.
Wow. She had a 488 Pista. And I’m going to argue that just because I don’t want it to be known that my sister had a car faster than me.
It’s a good, uh, uh, no, no, uh, no, they’re not that it wasn’t. It’s not faster. It’s not faster.
It may be faster than a stock C5 Z06. It definitely would not be faster if your sister was driving it compared to you. I have to disagree with that.
Really? Because the 488 Pista is, it’s so electronic that you just mash the throttle and it just goes. Okay. Um, I never raced it.
I wish I did. I could have proved it. I could have proved it, but no, that is really funny.
That was number three. Yes. What’s number four going to be a Lamborghini Aventador? No kidding.
That is another favorite. Uh, it’s McLaren 720s. 720s.
Um, yeah. It says it goes over to 60 in 2.7 seconds. I’m not going to argue that, uh, whether you’re talking a C6 Z06, a C7 Z06, or even the C8 Z06, the McLaren 720s is faster.
That is a wicked car. Um, that’s a wicked car and yeah, it, it, it should beat it though. Cause it’s a $400,000 car.
A $400,000 car should be an $80,000 Z06. Just should. Uh, number five, this is a car I have seen you drive before.
Can you make a guess? Lamborghini Huracan? Yes. Lamborghini Huracan Performante. False.
Really? Literally that same day that I beat a GT Arteismo, I also beat a Performante. They’re fast. And again, I mean, around a track with turns, the perf’s going to win.
That’s what, that’s what car guys call the Performante. We call them perfs. The perf will win, but in a straight line, the Z06 is faster because it revs higher and it’s got more torque and it’s got more displacement.
So. Okay. Yes, it, uh, yes.
Uh, number six is an Audi R8 V10 Performance. It’s another one of your favorites though with the R8. False.
I also beat an R8 V10 Plus. You did? Now this may be a little off though, cause I had a pretty heavily modified Z06. It still says any form of Corvette.
Um, but still, I mean, you don’t buy an R8 V10 Plus to be fast in a straight line. You buy one. That’s like the perfect car to take to Arkansas to drive in the hills is an R8 V10 Plus.
You’ve got luxury, you’ve got comfort. Those are my two favorite words. But you’ve also got a crap ton of power.
That’s your favorite word. Um, I would say that for the money, I think the R8 would actually be better. Okay.
Wow. Cause more exotic. Last one on the list for today is a BMW M4 CSL.
That is the dumbest. That is so stupid that they would put that on there. It says it laps faster than a C8 Z06 on certain tracks due to chassis and tires.
I don’t think there’s a single BMW that’s faster than a Z06.
There’s, I mean, no, that’s false. I’m going to, I’m, I’m, I’m a hundred percent going to say that that’s a lie. Wholeheartedly.
So if somebody’s wanting… Way to make this list to get me energized again and piss me off. I know it was my goal. It worked.
Yes. I’m mad about that one. If you ever want to get into a good argument with Thomas, talk about Corvettes and how something else, like we’ve had the argument that Jeeps are better.
And that’s just because I like more of the off-roading vibe.
