My Mexico experience
I was in Houston/Dallas last week and had an opportunity to witness a friendly battle between two bad *** rides! It was a long, tiring drive to get to the south of border to run these beasts legally but it was well worth it! 
I am 100% positive there are more pictures and videos somewhere (which may or may not get posted here) but I will introduce the contenders. I personally witnessed both these cars ran HARD several times against each other and were both on 18" drag radials. I also know they belong to some regular forum members here so if the owners recognize their stuff please stand up and claim. Also details of the runs from the direct source(s) would be awesome
(7XXrwhp
) stock bottom C6 Z51 MN6. (SD tuned)
9XXrwhp fully built Z06 (MAF tuned)
I have heard the guy with the 7XXrwhp car is kinda sneaky
DISCLAIMER: This thread is created solely for educational purposes and to find out more details about the two rides. Please don't turn it into a pissing match, bench racing, name calling, involving shops and stirring the pot etc. I don't want this thing getting locked as we would all love to know more details from the direct source(s) to help us with our future builds involving a lot of time and money!

Or the Z51 is Bill Winters (5 Liter Eater): Looking at the Z51, I see an ECS kit. From Bill's signature I see all the signs that the Z51 beast may be his? 
From Bill's signature:

Damn, Jeff and I were going to have some fun with this thread but y'all are a regular CSI team. 
Nouman I was not going to pass up the chance to meet you in person. Really glad we got to hook up.

It wasn't as one sided as I thought it would be. If I stole the hit I was able to stay ahead usually. If Jeff got the hit there was no way I was reeling him in. Since I was giving up ~200 RWHP I was stealing the hit often. 
We didn't really have any clean pulls though.
Once he has some seat time in that beast it'll be a no win situation for me and lots of others in the Monterrey area.
