1985 Lp500S vs. 99 Chevy Z28

[DiabloGT]

overall which will have better performance, like better 0-60 better quarter mile, and acceleration? i know this is unfair, since the 99 has a ls1 and 0-60 in around 5-5.5, and has 19 year advantage... i am just curious, because i like em both, and curious what is better overall...

Lambo. No contest.

Lambo would blow a Z28 away no contest

[DiabloGT]

what about a 04' z06?

the best car may or may not be the faster car.
best does not equal the fastest.
if that is the only qualifying matter then the best car is thrust 2 or something similar.

take the F1.
fastest recorded production car but handles like a wet rag at that speed.

zonda.
can only manage 200 ish but still handles perfectly.

which is better?

The lambo is not a very good quarter mile car. It is a 13 or so.

It never was intended for that. Most built-up street rods could hang with or beat it in a 1/8 or 1/4 drag. A new viper or corvette would run with it pretty close.

Now, let's talk about reality. On the freeway in traffic. Talking from experience (yes, I own one. Just drove it about 2 hours ago. Did 150 on I25). Forgettaboutit.

No american production car can touch it. The ferrari and porche would make great rear mirror view decorations.

I do agree they are great cars...But my 99 z28 was doing 140 in Hawaii racing against a viper and keeping with it till it sprayed, and that was on the H1. then again mine isnt stock either

So I take it you've driven both and taken them both to their top ends? Oh wait....
