Default raced 2 c6z06s in my viper

Viper 500 rwhp (na) and two passengers at 420 pounds

black z06 600 rwhp (sc) two passengers at 320 pounds

silver z06 500 rwhp (na) one passenger at 150 pounds


race one i line up with the black z06. it immediatly pulls 2 cars from 50 to 90 mph and then i miss third and immediately hit the brakes

race two against the black z06. started at 50 and I drove my *** off but wass still 2-3 cars back by 140. just a really fast car!

race 3 I lined with the silver z06. I didnt really know what to expect since he was a smaller guy with no passenger. what happenned next was pretty kool. he pulled then i pulled and from 50 to 140 we ended right beside eachother. pretty happy with that.

race 4 we went from 70 and man his car just catapulted from that roll speed. i shut down early because of a upcoming curve around 120 mph but he just kept acelerateing. neverthe less when I hit the brakes at 120 he was a car to 1.5 ahead

we went again from 50. i got a slight jump on the 3beep and had a fender at 140

vids soon

Good runs and can't feel bad about losing a couple lengths to a car that has 100whp on you.

They were nice races, I agreed with what Killemall said, and I'll get him some of the copies from my go pro, since I was right behind them (as best as I can) .

Damn,sounds like you had fun!A bit surprised that a supercharged c6 zo6 only made 600 hp,maybe it's a conservative tune.Any other mods beside the supercharger?

I'm just curious how you and the black Z06 fit two passengers into your cars? You have one sitting on your lap or what? Or are you referring to your split personality riding shotgun with you?

Driver: operator of vehicle.
Passenger: non operator of vehicle, who either should have a camera in hand or be hot as hell - preferably both.

Good runs! I was shocked at how fast the stock C6Z was that I raced. My bench racing calculator said he was going to win, but I didn't expect it to be completely one sided.

A 50 roll(about 4k rpm) on a z06 is kind of a dead spot. it feels lazy with throttle response, due to the low rpms and long gears. Ive noticed that 1st hand many times. A 65-70 roll( about 5-5.5k rpms)in 2nd gear is where the z06 really shines. On my dyno graph there is only about a 20wtq difference from 4k and 5k rpms. but hp wise there is almost a 100whp difference. Thats is why you guys were neck and neck from a 50 roll, but started to get pulled from the get go on the 70 roll. The z06 with its extra long gearing really needs a 3.73 or higher!

The 500 rwhp viper vs 500 rwhp z06 was good racin. The supercharged z06 looked like chainsaw massacre vs a 20 year old college student.

Ive whooped on 600 hp supras and was only a car behind a 600 gtr. But the 600 z06 was as fast as the last 750 awhp gtr I raced. Speaking of wich I herd theirs a certain gtr that wants some of the supercharged z06. Should be fun racin

Its weird as i thought the viper hit 59 mph in first and the vette hits 61 mph in first that 70 would be the same. But 70 in my car was low in the rpms. Damn those stock 3.07 gears!!!

Quite interesting the way they made power. It was literally a back and fourth seesaw effect. Very fun. Naturally id like a run both with no passengers.

Gotta give the 500 rwhp z06 owner some props. He was banging out those gears!

"Sounds like a plan with the GTR"? You seem to be pretty confident planning races for someone else. Why don't you step up to the plate on your own?

Good races.
Makes me wants to get my car running. Putting a s/c on my z06 right now.

My friend in his 580rwhp n/a z06 this weekend raced a supercharged viper and put about 1/2 a car on it from 50-140mph.
