Hey, I'm all for teaching an obnoxious !@#hole a lesson, but what's with all the dumping on the new Z06. It's the most awesome vette to ever roll out of the factory. Sure, a C5 with all those mods will beat it, but you guys are treating it like it's a mustang or something. It's another vette, for crisesakes.

You should have run him for pink slips. Then, you woulda had two awesome cars.

Nobody's dumping on the Z06. We're dumping on the Obnoxious neighbor.

It reminds me of an old joke....................."What's the difference between a [Name your favorite Snobbish car brand] and a Porcupine?

ANSWER: The prix are on the outside of the porcupine.

I am not dumping on the Z06 C6 would love to have one but this is a stock ZC6 and he was dumping on my car.. It was the owner i was dumping on.. I might have to get a C6 Z when the price comes down in a few years... Still waiting on the vid in mpg format to post on here... Stay tuned

Just make sure you can hook up with et streets or at least some good et street or bfg drag radials, and then you should give him a GOOD BITCH SLAP and then some!!

I wasn't interested to prove anything especially in heavy traffic. Last week i saw him in my rear view mirror frantically trying to catch up to me. No traffic and nothing but open roadI am not a racer but there was no way this dick was going to pass me. I was in second gear with him right on my *** trying to pass me. By the time i hit third he knew he was had and backed off.

Obviously, it's opinion, but you would have a hard time finding any vette, stock, like it rolled out of BG or St Louis, that could outdo it's performance (acceleration, braking, handling). Maybe an L88, or one of the 2 ZL1s could take it on the strip, but not on stock tires. Comfort and utility also are as good as a normal C6. Styling, well that's in the eye of the beholder. I'm amazed at the number of C5 guys who hate the C6. I love my 02, and am progressively modding it, but I like the new look, too, and will probably get one to keep my C5 company.

Bottom line if you are in the 10's like your avatar says you will win. At best he is mid 11's with headers.

You can't diss on other corvettes though! Even with a ***** driver. That car is great and he spent ALOT of money ahahah

You should spank his butt with no problem...the pressure is all on him! He'd better be careful, though..a Z06 broke his rear @ our local track recently..don't know if they all have this problem.. Most new Z06 drivers probably can't handle a stick anyway..Just cut a good lite and you'll be fine..Electron C5
