Default C6 vs C5Z06

He was stone stock, but it was a cool car, Lemans edt. Z06. First run, I paddle shift to a slower 11.6, he spun like crazy to a 16 sec run.:

Second run, he redlights, but gets traction, I get 11.4, he runs mid 12's.:

I raced a silver Z as well, but no vid...sorry. Same outcome

Awesome vids man, as usual.

Also, I just finished up my whole cam install (now ported LS3 heads/intake/Powerflo maf) but it runs great! Thanks for all your advice! Even with the cam, I am impressed with how it cams yet still idles and drives like stock until WOT. I just need another 300rwhp.

Dude, I love you !!

Just like Chevy advertised it, the 08 is Z fast

I love the paddle shift, I think it is an edge against anyone but really experienced drivers with a shift

The corvette guy my way says the 08 has created a boom in C5 guys coming to the ship looking to equal

What mods do you have on that, tires ??

Were you running race gas ??

great job, keep those videos coming

Watch out for those boosted WRX's and Evos
