Default winner is

If a 04Z blown with 581rwhp
a 11' stock ZRI
and a 11' GTR stock drove to a runaway and roll raced from 40mph to 140mph who wins. All drivers even. I know someone with a GTR and we were just shooting the BS and he is one of those guys that buys a car because MT says its fast.

That's easy. The C5Z.
The lightest car with the most power wins

my car is the Z and its 3,050 but he freaked and said no way, which is funny because he has been in my car and I did pulls and he swears my car feels faster but thinks I would not beat him.

From a dead stop he might be able to beat you because of the AWD but from a 40mph roll.....no way. The GT-R is a fat 3800 pound pig

C5z hands down. You make more than a ZR1 and GT-R, and you're lighter than both of them. It's a bloodbath from a roll.

The GTR is a monster...no question about it.
I'm just not a fan of a car that an average (or poor) driver can take to the track and turn fast laps.

I'd go with the C5Z too - would be a fun race to watch though.

Sorry - he will not win! I have beaten them even when they are modded - They are fast but your Z wins given you have traction I did

Thanks,Matt
