their is no corvette that has a top speed of 226 mph
or 0 to 60 in 1.97
the fastest corvette out their is the c6 series
and at that the zr1 actually
the Corvette zr1 is a high performance version of the cz06
the c6
or c6 z06 aka the c6 06+ model has the 7 liter v8
they also come with 6 liter v8
or 6.2 liter v8
all v8's are the gm ls engines
and varry on liter size
but essantialy id image same design
the features of the ls3 are for 2008 models feature higher flowing cylinder heads sourced from the L92, a more aggressive camshaft with 0.551" lift, a revised valvetrain with 6 mm (0.24 in) offset intake rocker arms, a high-flow intake manifold and 47 lb/hr fuel injectors from the LS7 engine.
the Improved Way more expensive
zr1 has and puts out 638 horsepower
100 horsepower more than a standard c6
and has a ls9 6.2 liter supercharged v8
the Torque is 604 ft-lb torque
and the Top Speed is 205 Mph- will not exceed 205
adviced to not take it to 205
Its Acceleration Rate to 0 to 60 is in - 3.3 seconds
your average car will reach 0 to 60 in say 12 seconds or more
and average fuel economy 2009 cars range in about 9.9 to 10 seconds
a cadillac cts v which has a 5.7 or 6.2 liter supercharged v8 as the c6 does
hits 0 to 60 in i belive 4.4 seconds or is it 5?
a say e class merecedes will do 0 to 60 in a little over 7 seconds
Lamborghini Gallardo- has either a 5.0 liter
or 5.2 liter v10
Engine size means little on a car's top speed or acceleration rate
their are probally a million or billion ways to design or make anything
thus many ways to fail or do better with less or less materials
Lambo makes varried models of the Gallardo
the fastes one the LP 560-4
has top speed of 202 mph
it does 0 to 62 in 3.7 seconds
most countries except i belive english speaking countries uses 0 to 100 km aka 0 to 62 mph
the Torque is 398
and the Horsepower is 552
Torque is the means of actual say force
horsepower dosent = faster acceleration rate or faster
as larger vehicles will generally need more horsepower
the 5.2 liter v10
superleggera can hit 0 to 62 in 3.4 seconds
this is the 2010 updated gallardo though
By the way
supercharged
turbo charged
twin turbo
engines do not always mean faster or better
turbo
say blowers
or such have lag at times
and proven f1 cars and many lambos,ferraris,mercedes,maserati's have proven how naturally aspirated is way better and dosent have lag and the engine dosent have to cool down as does with turbocharged and such
their is a link below about turbo vs supercharger
id say the corvette has more power and will win in a straight away
but the newer lambo takes it
lambo is more about luxury and performance
but more looks
corvette power
and ferrari and mercedes is about luxury and performance and winning
espically ferrari
say in a track race
lambo would do better
but they are heavier
and corvette wins hands down in straight or drag
i havent seen lambo do great in actual races all the time though
they are no f1 car makers
or mercedes or ferrari's
or say bmw's
