Default I got beat :(

Ok my friend got a ZO6 I belive its a a 2003, First race from a dig I was scared (since my dumb *** got arrested for racing last month) lol I missed 3rd like a nub. Second race he missed 3rd and I got in front. oh yeah from a 25punch. 3rd race from a 25punch he got out in front of me damn 255 tires and kept a car lead until 140 I started creeping. I am told my car should put down 450ish RWHP but Ihavent been able to confirm yet. His Zo is stock, that damn 900lbs killed me.


Oh and no I didnt have the bottle on no tune yet

There was no 2005 Z06.

It's more like a 700 lb advantage he has.

There's no catching those cars for us, but way to take a stab!

with your maggie you will rock a stock one but not so much if he has intake headers and catback and such.

HA, wrong.....if it was a C6Z06, it should of taking you with your mods. That guy couldn't drive then....A maggie V isn't faster than a C5Z06 stock. I NO this for sure....ALSO Don't get me wrong there are some fast *** V's that can beat SOME Z06's with shitty tires/drivers.

This should end all the discussions regarding who is faster, from a dig:

Moped>Skateboard, even with fat GF on back
Taco Bell>McDonalds, in race to the bathroom due to 'the runs'
Fake *****>Droppy Pancakes, more expensive but worth it
Wife w/paycheck>Girlfriend w/o job, unless GF is smokin' hot
USC>Miami Dolphins, painful but damn true

Okay, now to the car stuff:
CTS-V w/LS6>CTS-V w/LS2, not really, but who really wants this battle to end
Stock C5Z>Stock CTS-V, unless Grandma is shifting Vette
Maggie CTS-V, 470RHWP=Stock C5Z, driver's race, and by the way, not too many Stock C5Zs on the road
C5Z with added 40-60RWHP bolt-ons>CTS-V w/Maggie
Stock C6Z>any CTS-V (except maybe Bob's), 550RHWP V still gets annihilated
Onebadcad's C6>Stock C6Z, and I paid $45K less
JDogg/V-Series Tech C5Z>Onebadcad's C6, but only 'cause I let him
ZR1>than everything on the planet, except this:

Yeah, but if pricing is a criteria, it beats 'em all by about a bizillion miles.
Even at $150K, it is a steal, of course you can mod a C6Z to beat it and still be under $120K.

Sounds good to me!
Onebadcad-Im thinking White C6 with stupid mods, but I will only settle for a white one unless its a Z OR C5Z full track car. Unfortunitly OKcrusing (Mike) had to tell me his dry sump cost 12k, motor 5k, His NEW racing brakes 9k. Old ones weren't cutn it. Lets not to mention his C5Z track car has 4k miles on it and it has everything you could do to it. Even my FREE GIVE AWAY suede interior trim peaces I had gave him.....bastard....

i drag a C6 Z06 (stockish) pretty bad until about 135, they start to come around me.

Also beat a stock 08 viper the other day and only used 1 kit.

Disagree if you want, but dragtimes.com has many bone stock C5Zs at or below 12.6secs; remember we are talking average. The Maggied V should beat it given the extra horses, but the weight difference of 800-900lbs is a killer (The Maggie adds about 70-80lbs); someone else can chime it about the gear ratios. Also, the V's diff becomes a bigger problem with more horses. Unless you have a $10K rear, you cannot launch the V hard or shift hard-you knew that. IMO, the rear is a timebomb hardshifting it at the track even without a Maggie. I think I also said a V with a Maggie at 470RWHP vs. a C5Z is a driver's race, not a win for the Vette.

Here is the best time I could find for a C5Z, I think in '02 the C5Z got the LS6, before that it had LS1:

'02 Z06 sold
Bone Stock Stock Tires.11.81 117.26 1.78 60'
w/Halltech CAI & DRs...11.52 120.21 1.64 60'
'01 Z06 sold
w/Halltech CAI & DRs...11.94 116.65 1.83 60'


I realize this is the best time, not the average, but am sure no one has gone this fast with a Maggied V at 470RHWP.
Anyway you look at it, the V w/Magge@+/-470RWHP will not beat a C5Z unless the driver mod is in place.

It'd be a driver's race from a dig, rolling on the highway would probably go to the maggie. At least I'd like to think so

Then, as onebadcad mentioned, not too many stock C5 Z06s out there.


Quick Reply: I got beat :(
