Z06 vs M6 Well, I finally got my in clutch in. I'm ready for killing time!!! I went with an RPS Twin Carbon Steel. Its AMAZING...
I'm particularly going after 3 GTR's in my area but I settled for one of DFW's top dog M6's.
When I asked my camera man why he didn't keep recording, he kindly said, "whats the point".
I had about 6 cars from 50-150...
Sorry, the shots and footage was from a cell.

Thanks guys! O ya, the M6 also had intake (which was like 2k) ha.
That M6 is fast, look:

I REALLY have issues towards some local **** talker GTR owners. My biggest arch Nemesis is going to have like 650-750AWHP on Race fuel...
The local 600AWHP GTR guys don't want to run me...but they can run 10.65 in 1/4....HA. Thats fast...
I still think I can take him with my 480/450, maybe, only due to the fact I weigh almost 1000lbs less + sticky tires + driver mod. I want a 1st gear punch....
SO, to ensure everything, I might just have to buy a cam!
What do you guys think? Can I sail away from a 700hp GTR on the highway?

The tires are irrelevant since the GTR is AWD, unless he has stock tires on the car I don't think he'll spin much. I also doubt 1000lbs less is enough to make up a 200+hp deficit. Driver mod doesn't mean much from a roll either. Not to be a dick but I think you'll get walked pretty bad.

650-750AWHP GTR is gonna be sick you'll need atleast 580rwhp maybe more...
Here is my advice I drove 4-6 GTRs R35 the worst sport for them is either 30mph (end of 1st gear and begining of 2nd ) or 60mph beginning of 3rd
If you can get traction then go with 30mph roll for sure....
Search SLOW VETTE on streetfire his Intake/tune C6 ZO6 is faster than GTR with HKS 570 Kit (530-560awhp on pump gas and 600awhp)
They raced from 60 to 140mph CZO6 won by 2 cars and the faster they went the more the Vette pulled ...
Get it on video..

I need to clarify better. My Z has a weight reduction and a weight reduction on un-sprung weight.
Un-sprung Weight differences
DIET
No traction issues, aka, bad *** tires.
SUPER nice suspension.
I don't peel out, I just go.
So, that being said. After adding power mods. You have a "different" animal.
I do think I will need some more power but I still think I can get him from a 30 roll.
So, you suggest 30 or 60 huh, thats funny, I was think the same thing!!!! hehe...
Guys, I already said "f*** it" I THINK I am going H/C before the race and more weight reductions. Stupid GTR owners...
I F'N hate GTR's...hate them!

You say they run 10.6 at the track but from a roll my be a different story. They may be faster than you think. I run a 10.6 at the track with 480/435 which is just a little less than you.
Better cam it up and work on intake and exhaust.

What tire are you running at 10.66?
Otherwise, I have to agree, I better H / C.
I'm just saying that from a dig, driver skill is the most important thing. But from a 40+ roll, hp to weight is a bigger factor than driver skill to a point. One you hit the big hp numbers, wheel spin takes over again and driver skill once again can become the most important thing. Hopefully.... you are racing the 600+ hp boys and they have severe traction troubles on the street !
Good luck man, report back and also take some vids for us !!

actually I have never power shifted this car since I put in the new motor. I got tired of fixing the tranny and diff. Just quick shift as fast as possible with a deep throw of the clutch. I run ET Streets and skinny's at the track.

The GTR is AWD and has minimal traction issues. Its going to hook and go....
That being said, I will be on my "A" game...
Honestly, I've been nice to my new clutch and I haven't been running it hard. I did a 0-100 yesterday....I'm going to hurt some GTR owners feelings, BAD. Bad...............
And I might be H/C by the time my buddies GTR is finished.
NOT that I would need it...I still think my set up will work just fine. WE WILL SEE!!! GTR =
