Good race. It's strange that the Z06 is quicker than the C6, but it's very close. Probably the different gearing. I think the C6 still has the M6 trans.

The title says that it was an 04, and you'd be suprised how fast the 01's are. I used to have one and the supposed slower 385hp to the now 405hp doesn't mean jackshit. I actually think it was faster than my new one.

That Z must have been an 01

Yeah, a properly driven 02-04 z06 should put more of a hurting. The best trap ive ever heard of come out of a C6 is 112, ive personally seen an 04 Z06 stock down to the f1's go 11.91@117, and heard of numerous people trapping 116.

You are full of shit. I have raced both 01's and 02-04's several times and there is quite a difference. I have seen multiple vids of 02 and up waxing C6's by several cars. I guess the passanger in the Z must have wieghed 500 lbs or so.

it's hard to judge from a roll. with cars that close in horespower, that split second difference on who gets the hit can determine the race. and most people who have driven a C6 and a C5 Z06, say the z06 is still the better car
