Nice Kill.

Never would have guessed a talon would out launch a Z06 on the street.

Could you be anymore informative on the modifications to both cars? Couldn't see the end of the race to see who was ahead. These threads usually start getting pretty interesting when your talking about talons, srt4s, and GTPs beating LS1's, now an LS7? Modded? Not saying it doesn't happen, but your vehicle has to have some pretty extensive modifications to even beat a stock one.

So with those mods on the z06, it should be making 580ish to the ground. I take it the talon is making 600+? mods on talon?

Vette was sleeping off the line, and the Talon is AWD. From a dig, on the street. What did you expect?
