Default 2 Heads/Cam C6 Z06s vs 760 whp ZR1

Old video I kinda forgot about, caused a lot of drama locally. Both Z06s have been sold for more powerful Corvettes and the white car makes almost 1000 now, they will be racing again hopefully very soon.

Why drama? Seemed understandable to me.

Looking forward to rolling the new C6Z around centex.

Drama because... Drama! There are other videos from this night and the results are questionable but the actual video footage was garbage. The silver and white cars eventually re ran and settled things.

The silver Z06 guy now has a twin turbo C6, the red Z06 traded for a ZR1 and the white ZR1 is now h/c spray made 930 on a "low reading dyno".

I think this video has been posted? The in car Z06 had 4.10 gears or something right?

Sick cars regardless. And it's clear that the ZR1 spun bad on the first run.

No sir, the silver car was built half by that owner and half by the previous owner who was in the red car. White car was built by Lethal Performance in San Antonio.

Wrong! Video hasn't been posted. MRL posted one of the same Z06 but a different ZR1.

Word. dope GS.

I have been in many vettes, you may have as well. Honestly,..one of the most memorable...was the first time I drove a ZR1. before that, I wanted to buy a Z06....now...a ZR1. From a gofast standpoint, it is a smarter choice to buy a Z06,..and mod that(cubic inches, light weight, etc)...but......again, after driving a Zr1(I have driven 3 now)...with a pully and a tune, everything else stock....honestly, it's hard to think you would want any more power then that, even though my car will belt out more then double the rear wheel output,..the ZR1 is just so well refined, so good feeling...and so nice to drive. I want one. I'm gonna get one dammit.....or...buy a tube chassis race car.

The ZR1=ultimate Corvette...currently.
