raced a new z06
its been a long time since i have raced but today there was a z06 on the way home from pittsburgh. i was hoping he would race and he did. i dont really know what speed we were at but i honked and we took off and he pulled me by about two cars or so until we shut down. i knew i would lose but it was fun and i thought i did pretty well. maybe next year i can take em.

Daamn he only pulled you by 2 cars?!? You must have a fast *** car!!! I thought it would've been worst for a just a stalled, cammed F-Bod. Not saying Stalled & Cammed cars are slow, I just seen C6 zo6's rape H\C cars. What do you put down?
Nice run by the way!!

Most dyno in the 460 RWHP range which puts it at the 520 to 525 flywheel HP. Headers and a tune will put you at 500 RWHP. Sweet !!

only 60 in first.

cobalt is right their 1st gear is 0-60.. thats why their 0-60 time is very good. no shifting . thos ecars are beasts. even an ls1 with more HP wont win unless one it has a decent ammount more of hp or its from a stop .
though TAs were designed in air chambers and to most other cars are superior in wind drag. the vettes are that much more superior to us TA/maros. and isnt their fianl gear taller than the almighty roll racing 2.73's?

I've got the best of both worlds, but without a doubt, my heads / cam SS doesn't even come close to the Z06, especially past 120mph... the ss at anything from 120 to 180 (top speed) is just stupid scary, kinda like a Caddy on steroids, the Z06 builds confidence.
Just keep it safe out there guys.
Peace.

I've been looking for one to race but I just don't see them very often and even if I do it's some old dude thats scared to put his foot down anyway. Your lucky you got to race one. I would get wacked from a roll but I think I could take one from a dig, at least for a 1/4 mile. Those cars are very impressive.
