Nice kill. I guess even with H/C/I I might take a loss against one of those beasts.
Note to self: Avoid roll-ons with new Z....

I'm picking my car up this weekend. All done, but have to get it retuned next week. I'll be there, if you guys hold off a week. That will be hard though. Grudge Match 2007 Bring it.
When is that race with 1BADAIR at Milan happening?

from a 40-100 mph, the cars are DEAD NUTS EVEN. When I shift into 4th at 103 mph in the C5 Z06, it is all over and the RT walks away. From 100-140, the RT is about 3-3.5 cars ahead. This was the outcome EVERY time we raced. Even to 100, then the Viper walks away. This was a bone stock RT/10 vs. a well driven, 340 rwhp C5 Z06.
As far as a Gen III vs. C6 Z06, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you have to trust me when I tell you that a Viper would get beat pretty handily by a WELL DRIVEN C6 Z06 from a roll. I have seen the vids you are talking about and yes, from those vids, it looks like the Z and the Viper are a drivers race, which they are (along with everything else), but with two EQUAL drivers, from a 50-160 punch, the Viper would be 3-4 cars back. As soon as I find a stock Viper (that knows how to drive as well as I do) to race around here, I will get the video for you asap and show you the results. From a dig to 100 it is very close, past 100 it is over for the Viper. Remember, one car traps at 121-123, the other at 124-126, and that is just through the 1/4.

Here is a video of my buddy Jeff in an 03 Viper versus Lankhoss's 06 Z06. Jeff is one of THE best driver's around here.

If Dougs car is a C5Z06 then my money is still on fadi..
c5Z06's are fast in the 1/4 mile because of the M12 trannie. Unfortunetly the same trannie that lets them trap 116 mph with 350 rwhp in the 1/4 mile vrs the coupe C5's 109 mph trapp with 300 rwhp....Only lets them top out at 168 mph ( gear limited) vrs the C5 coupes 173 mph top out ( drag limited)
If the C5Z06 had the same gearing as the C5 coupe it would trapp around 114 mph in the 1/4 but have a top speed closer to 180 mph vrs 168 that it has with the M12 trannie..
So if doug still has the stock gears my moneys on fadi reeling him in past 135 since 160's is no big deal for a c6z06..
But if the race is only from 50-130 then my moneys on doug..But with cas this fast 130 is nonthing and to short of a race.

We all know the C6 Z06 is nasty as hell up top, and marginaly better down low... well, 0-100.
I would also love to see a couple 15/30mph-120/140mph runs.
If it aint close there, we don't really need to see a 70-140.

I think it will be pretty dam even if Doug does not edge him out. Im thinking the most possable outcome would be Doug by a fender. That C6Z is just crazy. Fadi have you lost at all?

Umm, that is about it for cars. I have lost to a few 1000's and a few Hayabusas too. I don't have these on video, but I will very soon and post them up. Believe me, I am not just posting my wins intentionaly. It just happens that when I do lose, I don't have my damn camera with me or a passenger. The Z06 is by far unbeatable, but it just requires a fast car to beat it, and faster cars are not around in my city.
