Default took my neighbors C6 Z06 out :)

WOW!! That thing goes! the only thing weird is the short shifter. The exhaust is awsome sounding. Soft during low throttle and rumbles at high throttle. huge 325's on the bach. awsome interior. and now there's two huge lines infront of my driveway

mine felt a little faster off the line. but once the C6 got past 3500... it screames! the exhaust is amazing. different tones at different throttle positions.

Don't the new Z's have a butterfly in stream of the exhaust that adjusts to throttle position.

Its a hoot to drive, one of my buddies got a silver one and we swapped cars and raced each other a few times, it was fun..
Although my car is quite a bit faster than his at the moment I think thats about to change.

Torque Management is killing these things! Off the line they are dogs, and once TM can be edited out, they are going to really kick ***!

While I too complain about Torque Management and the finicky LS7 clutch too, running 11.31 127.52 on stock tires and 11.20 127.55 on DRs isn't bad for a bone stock motor/drive train straight from the factory. But the car doesn't drive itself. You gotta work to get the numbers. And those numbers will probably improve once I get dial-in.

Ranger Bone Stock C6Z06 11.31 Pass Please right click save as......

Correct, Cecil County. It ran 11.20 on the previous pass but the video isn't as good. Car has run 11.31 or faster at Capitol and MIR too.

I'll keep an eye out for you. But at Cecil I'm usually gone after the second pass.
