Default got beat

I was driving down 146 in LaPorte yesterday in my 08 z06 with a small cam and I rolled up on a silver z06, not sure what year 01-04 but we got on it at about 70 mph and he left me saying dammmmm. Does any one know or seen this car? I would like to know who worked on his car.

Always fun when you can track down the guy you raced!

What kind of power are the two cars making?

556 rwp with a small set 204 valve ls6 heads. took the car to the track and was going to make a couple 1/8 mile passes to see if the car would hook, and see my 60' time. Car didnt hook in first and ran 104 mph in the 1/8 and got kicked out of the track for no roll cage. Now the cage is in and as soon as it cools down a bit i will make a full pass.

I dont think you should have lost that bad. Cammed LS7's ususally put down 520-560rwhp. Should have been a pretty even match really.

There have been small cammed Z06's that only made a little over 500 to the ground, so there could have been a difference of 50 rwhp between them. Then factor in different dynos, different weather conditions (when dynoed), and driving and you can easily get a beating.

Rage Z06, sounds like you have a nasty setup! 104 in the 1/8 is freaking no joke. What point do they boot you for no cage in the 1/8 mile?
