Default C6Z takes down C7Z

I admit I was a bit hesitant to do it at first, but I know how quick my car is (halltech tune/intake) and I've always been saying to myself "how much quicker can the new one be?". From 30mph took the lead and increased it through to fourth. The C7Z was a stick as well. That's that.

Even if the C7Z was one car faster, that C7Z is going to look very dated in the future with its cut-up sharp and busy body lines. It will look like GM wanted to make it futuristic, but failed Long live the C6Z, yeah baby!!

I have one of each C7Z more down force will lose some straight-line speed but it is really fast in the turns don't sell it short

I take my friends C7 Z07 all day long... I have some videos on my IG page. You can see us line up and cant see him again after that... That was the case all day long... He maybe took me 3 times out of 25 runs... and that is cause my clutch fluid got hot and was causing me to miss 3rd gear...
Check out my page though...
@yea_dat_hec

I know. I just like to poke fun at people who refer to their ZO6 with the ZO7 package as a ZO7.

I beat a Ford Leaf with my Pro Mod last weekend. From a dig, roll, whatever. Wasn't even close.

But please, do carry on with all the kill stories of how you guys with your "modified" C6 Z06's smoked "stock" C7 Z06's......

What if the "modified" was just better tires? Would it matter then?

I think the point is, it doesn't take very much to beat the latest, greatest supercharged car with older N/A tech. Thats pretty impressive to me.

Agreed.... I am putting 540 to the wheels on a DynoJet and on a Mustang Dyno its 490 to the wheels

Taking out a C7 Z stock... I think that is impressive...

Oh it's just a silly pet peeve of mine.... And I was feeling snarky.

This reminds me of the guys bragging about beating stock Hellcats with there HCI Z's pushing 700 crank.

Tires, fair game as long as they are not drags that are not street legal.

I have a c6Z and a c5Z. Get yourself a c5Z too. You won't regret it.
