I honestly think it would be a verrrry close race. I would say pretty evenly matched. I actually don't have my R1 anymore, wish i did though. I never got the chance to run a new Z06 when i had it.

If you had shifted a tad quicker and not given them the move every time that wouldn't even be a race. Car looks STRONG!

I know, that was with Nick running a 300 shot also! See, I helped him install the jet just before the race so I know .

Was the R6 from the mid 90s or something?...looked like an old POS.

I do want an LS7...haller!

Sounds like Denton dragway has got something going too.

BTW, what kind of tires you running on?
ya, i'm actually gonna prolly hit denton right at 6pm, do a few runs, then go to the plano gtg at 9ish. i'm running bfg drs on zr1s. i'm psyched about playing! (running me from a dig won't be any competition, i just got new clutch and shifter, i'm gonna need lots of practice, not sure where to even dump the clutch yet.)

Better order a new rear end while you're at it.
