Edit: I see who you are now

What gears were you running before 3.73? Did you notice any help from the 3.73 roll racing?
Im doing those gears in my current h+c+i build and wondering how much they will help.

I figured you had a shot to at least take the lead at the start (which you did) and that he would eventually quit spinning and overtake you (which he did). The C6Z should drop down to some 18" wheels and 345/35/18 ET Streets II...at his power level it would be hook & book. Nice vids.

My high hopes for your car were shattered about 22 seconds in the first race

Strong running car regardless. It takes a lot to hang with a well modded C6Z from a roll

Great races!

I raced a stock C6 Z06 when my Z28 was heads/cam/100 shot. At the track I had 4 mph on him, but from a 40 roll I was only able to edge him out.

I'm Making right over 500whp and a stock C6 z06 w/ cat back walked me up top by a few car lengths (30 to 100 we were even)... god damn their top end and gearing.

Your N2O torque boost, coupled with your converter and auto trans kills the Z from the start - almost like he is in the wrong gear. Unfortunately he still probably has near 600 rwhp, a lot less weight to be pushing and more friendly top end gearing. Time and top end are on his side.

Run him from a dig for 1320 feet and see how it comes out. Your N2O and stall should be a huge advantage for your.

A buddy with a C6 and some bolt-ons has been playing some locally....sent a vid from phone showing how it pulled from 4500 and up Vs. 3000 and up....Really likes the RPMs, tach just flys.
Sees 140+ pretty quick

Topend charge is bad ***

Your car pulls hard man. That Z is just a monster up top. I miss those J-Ville runs.

I hardly call that a murder....Quite the contrary..... Considering you held him off until you were well into high gear.... Yes he was pulling up on you but not THAT fast until you ran out of gear on the first run... The second run was more indicative of where yall were really at.... Sure he passed you in high gear but...Not THAT bad...and then as soon as he put 2 cars on you he quit...

From a dig you would rape that vette... Who really gives a **** whos faster after 150 mph in street cars?

You car runs real well...nice hard hit down low which I like...Keeps the big power cars panicing as they are trying to run you down..LOL
