99 Z28 vert vs 2011 CTS-V coupe (6.2L supercharged)
I just ran a guy yesterday on my way home from the grocery store. Could only get one run off before we ran out of room... 30mph roll to top of 3rd (about 90 I think wasn't watching my speed, I have 3.42's). I was probably 1-2 cars ahead at most but I was starting to edge away. I have to say, that car was gorgeous and very quick. It was all black, nice central exhaust, the works. Met up with the guy after at a best buy and he said he was the first one in Dayton with one (or so he was told). Makes 5XX hp stock, and is 6.2L and supecharged. Based on what I found on google those do 12.3@117.7 stock. He also has a GT-R and I told him I'd be at the track on the 26th. Maybe I can get a vid this time! Cool guy tho, wish I had his job lol.

Good kill. Wonder how bad you would beat hiim in a better roll? I would think that your setup would walk away from him pretty good! They are putting down in the 450rwhp range, and weigh 4100? 4200? lbs.
My brothers friend just bought a coupe V for his wife. And he drives a C6 Z06. Too bad he doesn't race... in fact, he has had his Z06 for 2-3 years now and admitted the other day that he doesn't think he has ever had it to redline before. And only gone WOT "a few times" but at lower rpms. ..... atypical corvette owner right there ... And now he's talking about trading his Z06 in for a ZR1-- it's what he went to the dealer to checkout when his wife fell in love with the CTS-V Coupe.

edit: i'm in a convertible too, so that slightly reduces the weight gap unfortunately.

Altho I'll be racing his GT-R that he claims he did 11.9@124 lol. Oh well, he may out trap me in that but I outta be able to beat an 11.9 if I can 60' it halfway decent. Haven't been to the track since the heads, but I'm kinda worried about this rear end lol.

He didn't say if his GT-R was stock. But if he's running 11.9 I outta be able to take him if I can pull at least a 1.8 60'...I tend to baby my car off the line, but if I'm next to him **** the rear end I'm going to launch that **** LOL. Would make a great video to have a redneck convertible beating a GT-R.

That's what I did on stock heads with a 1.83 60', so I'd imagine with a similar 60 and AFR heads I outta be able to shave at least a 10th
