just curious is your car white with chrome z06 rims and tan leather? and did it come from the greenville/spartanburg area?

ive only raced a ls6 vette and i killed him. my car dynoed like 448 on a 75 shot and i sprayed a 140 shot at the track and ran time in sig. so figure i was around 520ish RWHP on a dynojet and i trap about what a stock z06 does. i think you will lose but will be close enough where it could be a drivers race, just stay away from him in the triple digits or hes going to walk on by.

Haha yeah thats my car. I bought it from the guy "Vols Fan" sold it to. You must be the guy hes posted about racing and being very disappointed with the results? I'm not sure what the case was at the time, but when I got the car the clutch was toast. I didn't immediately notice because it appeared fine when you nailed it and during normal driving conditions, but if you stuck it in 6th gear and floored it while going slow it would fail. The guy who took it out said there were all kinds of hot spots on the flywheel too, like it had been doing that for a while. Not saying that it was the cause of that outcome,theres too many variables there, but it would certainly make a lot of sense.

All I can say is that my old car was 315rwhp/2800lbs and it was damn fast, but this car is a MONSTER compared to it!

That should put me close to a stock Z then, but probably still a little bit behind. I'll be sure to avoid anything from a dig. Seems like after reading all this the magic number i was looking for is about 500rwhp....I'll be sure to resurrect this thread with the outcome when it happens. Thanks guys!

Me at MIR in the 1/4 mile. He killed me, bad. Low 11's for the C6Z, low 12's for me. The back of his car looked real good.

Hey no offense taken man haha, I'd be pretty skeptical in that situation too. Hopefully the problem was the clutch, and to be honest even with the LS7 clutch I'd say one out of every ten or so runs I can smell it burning just slightly, so if whatever was in there (i forget what it was) didn't have atleast as much or more holding power than the ls7 clutch that it was definitely causing issues.

I beat one at the track before, but the guy had more money than driving skills. It all depends if he can drive.

I ran a cammed/full exhaust C6 ZO6 and he got me bad. Highway runs. He was putting 550 to the wheels also. He even gave me a few car lengths. Those things are quick.
