Default need some help...

ok..i got on this board for one reason...now, i know absolutly nothing about corvettes...im into the imports...however, from what i've been told the Z06 is the fastest corvette made...now, here's the problem...i just started college and there a few kids in my class and we have differing opinions about cars...they know their domestics and i know my imports...the other day we got into a big argument about the Z06...they claim (and one of the kids says he's seen it) that a completely stock Z06 on stock tires on the street will pull the wheels of the ground...now like i said i know nothing about corvettes but i am pretty sure that the way they are designed they are not gonna pull the wheels on stock tires on the streets....so, if anyone could put an end to this conversation it would be greatly appreciated....thanks

It's true. I got the front wheels off the ground with stock tires. About a foot or so on the first try. It's called Rhino ramps!!!!!!
