Youd smoke him bad. Those 500s are a cool car though guy across the street has one highly modded. Useless on street tires sounds killer.
Has a cage in it, older guy owns it and beats it to death

i watched a c6 zo6 with mods put down 536rwhp on the dyno and 2 days later at the track he ran a best of 8.74 in the 8th.my car put down 255rwhp at that time and ran a 9.0. The track is a different world and in the 1/8 mile you dont have much of a chance to make up for crappy driving,or street tires.

They're cool cars but they need some tires under them. I can believe it, I've seen them turn 14 second quarter miles with a new guy at the wheel. It takes a driver to make good times.
