Default C6 Z06 vs. 997 TT video

A guy with a C6 Z06 I know raced a 997 TT and sent me a video with the outcome. I guess this is what happens when a 120 mph trapping car races a 125 mph trapping car..

C6 Z06 - stock w/ 900 miles on it
997 TT - Stock w/ tip mode

C6 Z06 vs. 997 TT

The comment in the end wasn't necessary, but I got a little laugh out of it..

Cool Vid.

The 997 got the jump from a dig but it didnt help much.

Notice how much quicker the Z06 jumped out in the first race than the second race. In the first race, the Z06 was in first gear. In the second race, it was in 2nd gear instead at 35 mph. BIG difference.

I hope to god they come out with a dr's for this car in a 19". Car is very explosive from a 1st gear roll given traction.

That looks about right... Z06 is low-mid 11s, and 911 Turbo is mid 11s. Both badass cars.

Sweet.

I was VERY surprised by the 997TT I rode in. For a 500hp car the thing hauled a disproportionate amount of ***.

^The new turbos are variable vein. Basicly, they are decently big for top end, yet the adjustabe by boost turbine housing creates great spoolup even at low revs. It directs the exhaust energy at precisely the right place on the turbine wheel for a given rpm/boost.

Awesome cars, pretty much what I would expect after reading the comparos all over the press. Something to be said for twice the displacement at half the cost.

Frankly though neither car really launched all that hard.

nice kill, chalk another up for the Z but that guy was a little cocky, all he needs to do is run into the right person, the Z is awsome but not unbeatable. Pretty decent quality for a night vid.

True, but anything can be beaten by a modified car.

He!! . . . we could make a Pinto into an 8 sec. car with enough money

STOCK VS. STOCK the C6 ZO6 has less than a couple handfulls of production cars in the past few years that are superior to it in acceleration either straight-line or around a track eg. $1.6Million Veyron, Zonda S, CCX, Enzo, CGT, SLR, maybe a 65AMG . . . that's not a long list. Most of those cars are above $500K.

Most exotics get butt-raped by the ZO6 stock for stock.

If I were into the modern Corvette body-style, I'd definitely buy one without hesitation
