doesnt take a GT700 to outrun the new z06. I only had on exhaust and a chip (estimated 580 to flywheel) and we were neck to neck on multiple runs from 20-140

It's my understanding that the stock Z06, as compared to a Stock 996TT (or 997TT) is a better performer (theoretically). However, it takes a MUCH better driver to achieve optimum performance out of a Z06 when compared to the Porsche. Some may call this "refinement".
In other words, put an above average driver in each and the Porsche will likely win on a road course. Put a great driver in each, and the Z06 wins.
Is this true? Since a below average driver is asking, I would like to hear from the great drivers first

tblackj- Let's not get crazy now......
Ditka of course!
BTW- Why won't this topic just die. Yes a $120,000 car with another $15,000 in mods with beat a stock $70,000 car. BIG DEAL. You can make ANY car fast with enough money (even the 42hp Citroen
). This talk is tired. Porsche makes a great car in the TT. The ZO6 is one hell of a car as well. No need to feel threatend. Let's move on.....

What about Ditka on Schwinn dirt bike racing the entire Heavenly Host in a blown injected turbine powered Z06?

It would take ~600 bhp for a TT to run even with a PROPERLY driven stock C6 Z06.
I can beat a 997 TT in a stock C5 if the guy in the TT is cluess, but what would that prove?

oh i forgot to mentioned that the z06 was not stock..it had intake, ecu tune, and headers. I believe he made about 505whp but with plenty more torque!!

I probably have about 470-480 bhp and recently went on a 2000 mile road trip with a friend in his Z06.
He destroyed me in a standing start, whipped me in roll ons in 2nd and 3rd but surprisingly didn't have that much of an advantage once into 4th and beyond.
However on the trip through the Alps it was clear the Porsche was much quicker through the mountain roads.
No surprises then.
