I didn't know the new Zo6 could be driven by 11 year old paparalegic girls who were blind and deaf....

Whoever was driving the new Z06 should have gotten out of the car and kicked his own ***!

Great information! The yellow car (low 11s and 125 mph) is badass, especially if it's totally stock.

I couldn't see the video but if it was the breathless car which had z06 body panels it was not a z06. Sounds like this was incorrect. Plus that car had an auto.

The first car in the video is the Yellow breathless C6 on a 150 shot, I think it went a best of 11.1. The Black z further into the video is one of the 3 Z06's that made an appearance at the C5/C6 B-day bash.

12.0 on a slick track with street tires is pretty damn impressive. He trapped 123 mph on one pass.

I thought they were mostly pretty good runs. Spinning those tires a bit but they looked good to me. that first C6 was badass!

The car trapped a couple of high 123s with 123.9x being the highest. Hugh, the breathless car was spraying then, go figure. I looked at one of their tunes in a friends car and to say I was not impressed would be very very nice.

A Z06 should go 11's on any track....they should have had some good drivers there to make a stronger showing...

the "fake" C6/Z06 with auto and nitrous was pretty neat though.

I don't think the times represent what a C6 Z06 is capable of running. I was there on Sat. at Beech Bend and the conditions were terrible. The temp was 49 and there was about a 20-30 mph headwind. Take that car out on a nice day with a prepped track and you will run mid 11's easy! The car trapped in the 120's almost everytime I saw it run.
