I think somebody is a little cranky today. The C6 Z06 is the fastest so far, and the C6 ZR1 will be the top dog when they start production,

This is only on the drag strip. If you get into the twisties we all know what is going to happen with a new z06 vs. a 60's model zl1
You order it from Chevy so i say it counts

what I mean by detuned from the factory is about 15% the actual tune and 85% the intake and full exhaust. If you really pay attention you'll notice that there is an intake upgrade for almost any car as well as exhuast upgrades. this is because the factory ones usually aren't the most free flowing. Of course the tune can be adjusted too.
