Default C6 Z06 Performance Comparison

Not sure if anyone else has seen this yet, but this has to be one of the best comparisons of the Z06 to the competition that I've seen:

That is an awesome comparison! Thanks for sharing.

Can you find something like this of the Ford GT??

A freind of mine and I got into a debate about how which was faster! The C6 Z06 or the Ford GT. He's a ford guy and I'm a Vette guy.

Well we both looked up the specs of each on the net and he found one article that showed the Z06 a tad slower than the GT. I however found 2 articles that showed the Z06 faster that the GT.

Either way, I just want to show him something like this of both the Ford GT and the Z06. This is great information.

I have 33 passes in my bone-stock C6Z06, 8 of them on the stock tires.

Best was: 11.31 127.52 1.90 60’
Best on DRs: 11.20 127.55 1.84 60'

Bone stock ETs are constrained by the presence of Torque Management that pull power on launch and the shifts to protect the drive train.

I'm not aware of a faster documented bone-stock ET/Trap than mine.

But, of course, it's a big country and not everyone posts to the www.
