All I'm saying is that if this guy "raced" the C6 Z06, the driver of the C6Z must have been learning to drive stick, no matter how much power the V had. It still weighs 4000+lbs with driver.

C6Z - 3150 lbs/435 rwhp = 7.24 lb/hp
CTS-V - 3850 lbs/540 rwhp = 7.13 lb/hp
Add a driver of equal weight and the lb/hp advantage goes to the V. Obviously, if the V had more hp, the advantage would be greater.
I'll try to get you a video in the next few weeks to address your doubts of a high hp V.

A CTS-V is not set up for the track...at all. I don't think anyone with a built rear has posted an ET yet. We're all six-speed cars, which isn't the best at the track. You can't put smaller than 18" rims on the rear, so you are limited on traction even if the rear was built to hold it. It's just not a good drag car.
I'm sure that if someone threw together a high hp V with a built rear end, big stall automatic and some tires that could hook it, we'd see better ETs.
I've got an F-body for the track. The V is for the street, but I understand your point.
