Does Jericho post here? That looks like his GT500 (red white stripe).
I wonder when he will upgrade to a bigger blower or go turbo as well.

very impressive considering the close ratio M12 6spd in C5Zs, still have the 3.42s in the rear diff? Just imagine those pulls with longer legs :D

The aero on your Z06 can't be beat by a GT500 at high speeds. I have a good buddy with a C5 around 650whp and I couldn't catch it.

I actually thought the z would have trained them harder.

Details on setup?

Fast nonetheless.

Like I said on tech... All the cars fly. However the new GT500s impress me! C5z's will always be hard to beat. Light with great aeros.

aero on C5Z isn't that great, so far as vettes go. The regular C5 coupe with hatch has better aero than an FRC, but it all goes to shit for both when you turn on the flip up head lights|air brakes.

To be honest, I don't think that front bumper having the intercooler act as a flat wall and everything else in there catching air, is much of a aero enhancement for this C5Z either lol.

Agreed, no aero here. Car has no bumper, or lights yet. Was just getting some logs.
It's a top mount PT6775, 8 psi, 13*, Treadstone intercooler, full 3" intake and exhaust.

Compared to a GT500 that has the aeros of a barn yes I think they are extremely aerodynamic lol
