'02 Z06 vs '10 SS I went out for a cruise last night with a friend around mid night. We were going to grab something to eat. It was a perfect night out. No clouds, mid 70's, and not humid. We finished up our food and went back out to my car.
Parked right across from me was a black 2010 SS with white stripes. I hopped in my car to leave, and as soon as I pull out of the parking lot, the SS begins to follow.
I'm heading back to my buddies house and get on the expressway. Sure enough, the SS is following me. I'm in the right lane and he's in the left. No traffic out and miles of straight roads. He was modded. I believe he had a full exhaust since the thing was obnoxious.
The first run, we do a 60 roll. He honks it off, and we both get an even start. I'm in second and start pulling on him. Not hard, but a steady pull. From 60-130 I was 1.5-2 cars up by the time I let off.
Second run... We both slow down and he yells for a 30 roll. I drop it down into first and he beeps it off again. We both spun, but I was able to catch traction first and pulled 3-4 cars by 125.
I've never seen the car before and I dont know exactly what he had for mods. I know he had at least headers/exhaust since the thing was loud. I would prob. assume a CAI too.
I was fairly happy with the results... I'm not going to say anything mean and or funny like my normal stories here...
AAahhhh.... Who am I kidding? I was suprised at how well the dump truck stayed with me. You know? For being almost 2 tons and as aerodynamic as a school bus, he should have just stayed at the trailer park, polished off his 30 pack of bud light, and finished watching vintage nascar races.
lol

Haha that last part of the story got me cracking up. Nice kill tough. I would have thought you would pull a little bit more, but not knowing his mods for sure that really can't be said. Make sure you get a video next time though, you know we like those around here 
Just for clarification, none of the mods you have listed in your sig are installed right?

If he's bone stock I would be doubtful if he see's much more than that. I've seen bone stock ones put down 365whp before but that was outside of the norm. Most of the ones that get dynoed at the local shop put down anywhere between 340-360whp.

im saying that 02-04 z06's dyno on average 355-365 and the car actually feels like it has that kind of power because mine def feels noticeably quicker than my previous 02 trans am M6 that put down 370/385 when i had it... 340 seems way low for an 02-04 factory stock c5z...
