Its obvious that your car would rape the new Z06 in any type of acceleration contest. Its not even the same ballpark. Your GT2 would easily clear 135 MPH traps at Sea Level. It is also not accurate for RocketW19 to think that the run by RANGER is what typically signifies what most C6 Z06's can do. RANGER has over 1000 passes at the dragstrip iirc, coupled with his drag skills, and running that that MD strip/track under those ideal conditions = Times and Traps most Z06's will never see. Period
PS. that would be like saying stock E46 M3's are 12.4 second cars stock, because Lee Mathews made a 12.4@110+ pass on his stock motor M3, but in reality, we all know stock M3's are lo 13 second@104-105 cars.

the m3 was great though. good top end but you needed to beat the crap out of it for it to feel fast.
the tt has all that torque down low that i love.

How come we haven't seen any driftbox numbers for the vette? Any owners out there willing to put their Z on the box so we can get some 0 - 60, 0 - 100 and 60 - 130 times? I'm curious. Anyone?

The cars were built for different purposes, apples vs oranges.
It takes 550-600 hp to beat a Z06 depending on who's 550 it is. My car is classified by orton as 550 hp, but you wont find a hp calculator that gets a 3650 lb car (with driver) down the strip at 126 mph with only 550 hp, if that's the case then the Z has to have less than 500

I saw that run that Ranger made, BTW...10.9 is not 10.7. my 60' on that run was 1.8, while his was much lower and I STILL outran him. So I guess none of the guys could drive, huh? My buddy with the modded Z switched cars with me and we ran with the same result. Dude, the Z is a cool car but come on
Let me know when you're ready to run your Z06 against me so you can personally get a taste of harsh reality.

The 996 turbo was developed in 1999, the Z06 in 04 or 05, so I would expect it to walk a stock turbo. My orginal point was that I would love to see videos of the Vette gettting walked by modded 996 turbos. For all the banter, every f-en video I see of the Vette, it is doing the walking, with all due respect Renn Tech, film your kills, I hate those Vettes. Before the Z06 came out, there were always posts about dyno horse power not being the same as real world horse power. Now it seems that no matter what a turbo dynos, there is no video of it walking a Vette.

I like to video entertaining match ups like my car vs. GSXR1000s, TTVipers, TTVettes, etc.
