Default Raced a C5 Z06...*Video*

My good friend recently purchased a 2003 C5 Z06. It is pretty much stock with just a cai and a shifter. He ran a 12.3@117 with it on the factory street tires. We went out to see how a stock C5 Z06 compared to a stock C6 Z06 from a roll. We did run from a dig on a different day and I wasn't able to catch him until 120 mph.. I wish I had that video to show you but it wasn't captured.

Enjoy..

C6 Z06 vs. C5 Z06

Hey Fadi, I can't wait for you to race Doug. I am about to leave to get him at the airport. It should be alot better of a race.

That was a brutal raping. Good comparison. I may want to stay away from those guys!

Bobby, this is a very anticipated race and I can't wait for it. I am sure you have seen our previous races, so lets see what kind of magic you guys did to Doug's car and see if he can edge me out this time..

Our video will be up soon enough after he receives his car and gets back in town..stay tuned..

The funny thing is, the C6 Z06 is not THAT much quicker up to 100 than the C5 Z06. I ran a 7.5 in the 1/8 while he ran a 7.9 in t he 1/8. Yes, it is a lot, but not that much. It is past 100 mph where the difference between the two cars really starts to show and the Z06 runs away, as you can see from the video.

nonetheless, both great cars..

Nice. I can run with a C6Z and beat it from a dig, by a car or so, but from the 40 roll, I get raped almost that bad...but that's the A4 and my 3.15 gears calling out for help in 3rd gear !

Doug just called 30 mins ago and he's on the way to LG to pick his up then maybe to my place for a bit before he hits the road. I'm sure he's ready to get back and put the race on video!

Yup, this is going to be one BAD *** race man. I think he will edge me out this time, but who knows. Hopefully we will be able to get together this weekend and do some runs, then post up the results for everyone to see.

Damn, i knew this race was an anticipated race, but more than I thought. i can't wait.

DRIVE HOME SAFE DOUG!!!!

By the way, does anyone know how much power that C5 Z06 made? I know it's pretty much stock, but how much do they put down to the wheels stock (or with the CAI). That cold air must help those things a LOT if it's trapping 117.

The 02-04 Z06's trap at about 116. Figure in cai and the good driving, you got the 117.

If I were to guess from my experience of owning a C5 Z06 and this cars trap speed, I would say this C5 Z06 is making ~355 rwhp. My 2001 Z06 that trapped at 115 made 340 rwhp with a cai.

Fadi your car is sick, I love watching you put the hurt on people.
I had no clue a C6Z would annihilate a C5Z that bad! That wasn't even a race!

Hey guys..

The C5 Z06 driver is one of my good friends. I knew the outcome was going to be just that. One car traps at 117, the other at 126. 9 mph difference in just the 1/4 mile. But like I said, they are actualy kind of close up to 100, with the C6 Z06 being only .4 secs faster. In a 1/4 mile race, the outcome wouldn't look this bad. It is just that past 100 the C6 Z06 screams utilizing its gearing and rpm advantage.

From the look of that video obviously not a C6Z eater!
