Default C7 goes down to my blown C6

This is after the 4th or 5th run. Was a bit closer early on. I was heat soaked on this run as well in the C6 but either way good times. Owner is PISSED!!!

You can't even hear the Z06 over my exhaust

Another apples / oranges comparison!

I'm no expert but the tach on the C7 sure seemed like the car wasn't being pushed hard enough.

Would take the c7z 10000000 times over a faster c6.

He's pissed because every run I was pulling harder and harder and this one was the icing on the cake. I make a little over 600rwhp. He's new to the car but felt it would have at least been closer. I lost some power between runs, however not as much as he was.

A blown c6 with headers and tune I would guess around Z06 looked like he was just out for a cruise. I would guess he has around 550 to 600 rwhp? I see you posted above, Nice running C6.

3rd gear pull from 60mph... lame

I wish the PDR in the Z06 had an identifier to distinguish it from a regular stingray.

Another high speed roll race, admittedly the weak point of the new Z. Why are we not seeing races from a dig? Suspicious.

Of course the C7 Z06 lost, it did 0-60 in 22.90 seconds and the 1/4th mile in 26.20 seconds. He wasn't even racing, but you were. I wouldn't be too happy, that means your car is a bit slow

The hood looks like the one of the Stingray. I am willing to bet on it.

Humm really. 3rd gear pull at 63 mph. This car runs 62 mph in 1st gear. Why wouldnt he be in second. This video tells nothing other than a driver that cant drive the car.

I was thinking exactly that but didnt want to say it though I looked at other known Z06 PDR footage and you dont see the bump or vents on those either.. still a lame video, lame driver and lame youtube title... seems trollish not to mention that the c6 was blown.

we were trying to eliminate traction being the issue. My 1st goes to 55mph and I started in 3rd too. I should have been in second with the C6. Listen at how long my gear pull is in that run. I was not in my power band.

We decided around 60 in 3rd to go. We wanted to see the load impact on the car performance wise.

That's interesting. You should post a PDR vid to show the cowl rise on your Z06.

Another note. This may not of been a zo6. Note the bottom of the video the numbers listed for the rpms. Mine shown below shows a major difference in where the overlay is.
