What? Of course the Z06 would win, it has more power. A lot more power.

We have one at our track in St Louis and he runs consistent 11.15s to 11.20 on street tires. I wanted to run him one evening but we never could get together in the staging lanes. His car is couple tenths slower then my C7 Stingray so I should be able to handle his car pretty easily.

Horse power mismatch. Also, at altitude so the NA had a disadvantage.

Not really a close race because of the mismatch.
