While heading home, ran into a silver C6 Z06 on the beltway, south side. He came up behind me and I was doing about 75mph. He got along side me to pass and I goosed it a little and matched speed with him.
He punched it and I punched it from about 80mph. I was in 4th and just tagged the pedal and starting pulling. By 150mph, I had about 3 cars on him and he shut down.
It's the second run I've had with a C6 Z06 and both times were similar outcomes. Gave the guy a thumbs up when we slowed down and he went passed me, but he didnt look over. I guess he wasn't particularly happy about what had just happened.
Was a fun little roll-race...

Tony you and I are going to have to run one of these days. I'll have my turbo project finished in a couple of months. The only thing you have that I don't is the stroker motor. I also have ported heads, big cams, and a 76mm Turbonetics turbo vs. your whipple. I think it might be a good run.

I would have liked to see a 5.4 N/A monster put in that thing. The FI in the cobra, and the CI in the mach.

I love it though really. it's a great platform and looks good.
how many times have you heard of an auto manf doing something (detail wise) for the common person? they dont'. they may make a car because of demand, but they make it to their own specs.
one thing to look at though, the mach is the quickest Production N/A mustang yet.

Apparently so does the driver. So are you T2 prepped on street tires? A well driven, bone-stock C6Z on street tires will post a faster time than any T2 car.

I totally believe it. Of course a car with 800 horsepower is going to pull on one that dynos around 450 rwhp. I'm just not overly impressed by it, if you had absolutely smoked the c6 "5+ car lengths" then I might be. good kill none the less

Who said he had 800 HP? you're assuming. Let me give you a hint........25 psi on a whippled mach is roughly 725rwhp. The OP has 19.5psi.
