2002 Z06 vs GT500 SUMMARY: Crappy night at the midnight drags, on the way home beat a
GT500 with unknown mods, if any, by 1.5-2 cars from a 60mph roll to 140.
I was out at the drags last night trying to figure out how to drive my car. I finally pulled off a 12.9@113. Not to bad considering the 2.34 second 60' time that went with it and the granny shifting because I'm scared to death of breaking my car again. LOL.
But anyways on the way home at around 2am I ran across a GT500 and figured I'd try to get him to go a few runs. I spent like 5 minutes driving next to him gasing it before he even did anything. I was amazed it took that long considering the kid looked about my age, mid 20's, and he had a friend in the car that was eggin him on. I was about to give up trying when he down shifted and took off. FINALLY, GAME ON!
I wasn't able to get him to go any slower than 60 for the starts, I was really hoping I could get him to slow to 40. We raced about 4-5 times from 60 all the way up to 140 or so and by that time I was about 1.5-2 cars ahead of him. Those superchargers on those things are loud as hell. All I could hear was the blower whine. It was a great way to end the night.
On a side note. Why is it that whenever you seem to get in a good race no one has a video camera? I hate that!

On a dyno dynamics dyno in socal I put down 457rwhp and 400tq. Oh I think I forgot to mention that the drags were in Utah and because of the heat, about 80+ degrees the DA was over 7,000'. I think that might have had something to do with the low MPH on the track.

An update on the GT500 I raced.
I ran into the guy a bit ago and I guess he recognized me. We got to talking about his car which he sold about a week after I beat him for a brand new GT 500.
The car I raced was making about 550 rwhp. Had mainly basic mods, ported blower, smaller pulley, bolt ons etc. Anyway I'm pretty stoked that I beat a car with almost 100rwhp on me. Gotta love the aero dymanics and the hp to weight ratio of these cars!!
