What he said.Side by side huh? Did he know you were racing, because going by your sig I'd say you dont have a 550 rwhp or so to take a c6 Z06.

i wax them at the track all the time
At my track a stock c6 z06 traps around 109mph and a C6 z06 traps approx. 120. Mind you, the density altitude here is often 5000-6000ft, 4000 on a good night.
There was what appeared to be a bone stock C6, NON Z06 at the track on Wed. Now this track is notorious for running near half a second slower than good tracks.
This Vette vert, with an auto, on stock tires went 12.0 @ 120. A GT500 (not sure if it was stock, but it didnt have an exhaust) the same night was going 12.1-12.2 @ 1xx (I forget the mph actually).
ive noticed that most of the people who have posted that they doged or kept up with the zo6 had modded out stangs except for the one who admitted the vette missed a gear, were the z's modded or stock, a supercharged zo6 can easily make 600 rwhp, jucied even more and turboed.........fugetaboutit!!...the next response may be ill put a 409 or a 427, buy that reasoning it would be safe to say a vette owner can throw in a 506, any way just my .02 the down fall however of the zo6 is that the aluminum block can and will split mid eight to nine hudreds, an iron block however can handle 1250 easily
Well, you know the older guys buy the expensive vettes because they dont want to touch their engines, they want factory fast. I can understand. But most mustang guys like the inexpensive cars and we just mod them to beat the 60k plus cars. It's the same thing with a gt500. If one of us takes their 92 lx and beats one, there is that satisfaction that they used their skill and knowledge...and money.. to beat a guy with money.
BTW, I raced a trailblazer SS form a 30 mph roll. I have a stock 93 notch with 3.73's, when he stepped on it, it took one car link, but his front end raised up impressively and shot off. Thats a heavy truck, and it is no joke.
Makes me wonder what Ford could have done with an ongoing 5.8 program. If Ford would have started putting stock aluminum heads on its small block like Chevy did, it may have been adifferent ball game.
