Default My 'slow' Z06

So rarely do we find ourselves the 'slow' car, I thought you other Z owners would enjoy the pic.

My friends 2007 twin turbo Gallardo (capable of 1580whp on C16) next to me.

I thought.. should I?

I hope you have binoculars or over 1100rwhp because if you dont, you won't be seeing him for a while lol. Has he given you a ride in it? It must be insane.

I'm bone stock.

He was on pump gas last night (1000whp). Wasn't close.

I haven't ridden in it, but a friend with very high hp car experience has (on full boost) and it made him turn white.

Not much hanging with these Underground monsters.

No, he's had it for a few months.

The one that SW is selling is Jonah's I believe - and is newer.

Same power level as far as I know.

Great Pic!

UGR does an amazing job on those Gallardos, it's a work of art.

Nice car but don"t bring it to Long Island NY., because there are guys here that will make it look slow on the street with his best tune.

Maybe in the quarter mile, which the Gallardo's are not built for (very low 9's), but there isn't a car in NY or anywhere else that would make this car look slow from 60-130 (< 4 seconds) or 60-200.

Underground Racing TT Gallardo's currently are basically the fastest 4 wheeled vehicles in documented 60-130 runs (just bested by a MS Alpha 12 GT-R at 3.46 seconds) and in the Texas Mile.

Not sure what someone might have lying around that would be competitive. (?)

Here's the current 'fastest' cars list (60-130mph) from 6 speed:

*3.40 - Bob Helms, TT Viper, Auto
*3.46 - AMS Alpha 12 GT-R
*3.53 - Underground Racing TT Gallardo, 1,500+whp, 2-shifts
*3.93 - 931 rwhp Supra, 88mm turbo, TH400 Auto, ET Drags
4.8 - 900 rwhp Supra (88GT47, TH400, no NOS, drag radials)
*4.81 E30 325i, turbocharged, E85, Drag Radials
*4.88 - 1,080 rwhp C6 Z06
4.9 - 940 rwhp Supra (35 psi)
*5.1 - 780rwhp 240SX with Supra motor, 3-shifts (trapped 152 on this run)
5.1 - 840 rwhp Supra (30 psi)
*5.26 - 997 GT3 RS TURBO / 1-shift
5.4 - 1,000 rwhp TT Viper
5.6 - Bugatti Veyron
*5.71 - 200 Audi S4, built 3.0L, Tial Alpha 28's, fuel system, exhaust, pump and meth at 2.0 BAR
*5.72 - Subaru Impreza GC8, built motor, big turbo and 100 shot of nitrous
*5.8 - Ford GT, Whipple S/C, 780 rwhp, 1-shift
5.9 - GSXR 1000 with bolt-ons
6.1 - Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
6.6 - Ford Cobra, Whipple S/C at 22 psi
6.9 - Mosler MT900S
7.0 - Ferrari Enzo
*7.06 - C6 Z06; intake, tune, headers, cam, no cats, 560 rwhp, 2-shifts
*7.24 - Mercedes SLR McLaren
*7.25 - Stock 997 GT2 / 1-shift
7.3 - Porsche Carrera GT
7.3 - Ferrari Enzo
*7.66 - 996 TT 'S' with K16/24 Hybrids, 4th gear pull only
*7.75 - Shelby GT500, Kenne Bell, 700+ rwhp, 1-shift
*7.8 - Lamborghini LP640, stock, 2-shifts
*7.8 - Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06, stock, 2-shifts
7.8 - Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

* = documented

Unless those guys will be flying F-15's, I kinda doubt it.

Captain obvious is trying to say that there will always be someone faster

By the way I wonder what a Z06 can do with the money invested in the Gallardo.

A Z06 - with $100K+ in mods - would just spin (more). Unless you transplanted a Gallardo or GTR AWD drivetrain in it (or moved the engine to the back).

Wasn't intending to get anyone riled up, just thought it was a cool perspective pic of our Z06's.

Nice to see Eric got his car back, now hopefully he comes up to powercruise this weekend! He said he'd let me drive it on low boost pump gas!!! Super excited!

Btw chris: you and I will be twins. I just picked up a silver one too. But.. Mine is not stock. Should prolly beat the atomicz, we'll see end of the month.

Hmmm, doubt that! The UGR cars have owned the TX2K meet the past couple of years and the bulk of the cars out there make over 1000hp and the bikes are boosted 1300's. I haven't seen a car beat SW's 1250awhp TTG yet so imagine this 1500+awhp one.

Atomicfusion would be the answer to that if I had to guess.
