At least someone could tell. What gives it away?

If you pause it on 11 seconds you can see the zr1 wing and body kit on the far lane vette. If you restart the vid and you can pause it in time to see the zo6 badge on the nearest vette.

Sure does. Thanks for the quickie. Sorry to anyone for my misconception. Still they are all fantastic cars.

Decent video you posted but like you said weight kills performance. Take that passenger out the GTR and it's a whole different story. Of course unless the Z06 had a passenger, which if my memory serves me correctly someone posted that video and the owner said he didn't have one. IIRC. But what do I care I don't own either car.
I hope now you understand that you had it backwards. A stock Z06 can keep up, and I didn't have to use that video since another stock Z06, local friend of mine raced a that SAME GTR on pump and was DEAD EVEN. Race fuel adds another 40-50awhp and makes the 3-4mph difference.

Noticed how the Z06 sounded? Headers, no cats. That car, the way it is running, is not tuned for those headers... thus timing is being pulled out of it and not to mention how "touchy" the stock tune in c6 z06 is.

So, to be clear, a HKS GTR on pump (550-570awhp) is a good race for a GTR and even one on pump is going to give a good race as well, if not have a slight advantage if they roll under 60mph with the Z in 2nd gear. A ZR1 would beat both these cars but about 2 cars.

Exactly. Z06 has different front fenders, hood is different, no CF roof and halo, 18/19 wheels vs 19/20 on the ZR1, no CC brakes, Red rotors Vs Blue rotors, No CF front splitter (larger on the ZR1 as well), no side skirts, no full length spoiler.... etc.

God! Looking at the video again... that Z06 sounds like its missing bad.... I have never heard a z sound like that. Its pretty bad.
