its fake, it says so right at the beginning "computer generated"... the z06 is rated at 405 hp, while the c6 is 400... not every race was a complete kill, the z stayed ahead but probably by an expected amount... idk about that one

The 01 Z06 has 385 bhp, but it lighter than the C6. I thought they would be dead even, cosidering th Z06 is about 100lbs lighter. It was pretty close in the video.

I think the Z06 has a gearing advantage as well.

It does the Z06 has the weight advantage and the gearing as well. The M12 trans in the Z06 with the stock 3.42 rear gear acts like a 3.90 rear gear in a M6 equiped Z51 vette.

how is a C5 lighter than a C6? the C6 is smaller.

There's a lot of things that can explain the outcome of those races, but on average i would expect a C5 Z06 to outrun a C6, stock for stock.

good comparison videos...they raced with the passenger in both cars, and even switched drivers...Good vid's and it seems the outcome was exactly how it should be.

I would expect the C5 z06 to outrun the c6... How much do stock c6's put down anyways? I know the c5 z06's put down in the 340-350 range... However I watched my dad's stock z06 put down 379 so you never really know I guess.

Remember how bad the tuning was with the ls2 when they first came out ? I'm sure it was pulling timing and adding fuel. TQ management doesn't help either when it comes to trying to shift fast or powershift.

Do M6's also suffer from Torque Managment? I was under the impression that TM was only an issue on automatic cars?
