I owned both cars at the same time and I agree with everything bone stock. It's all hp to weight Stock Z 5.42 Halltech Z is 700 hp.
5.03 Stock ZR1 5.25
People need to realize the stingray intake is used on the Z06 as a cost cutting measure and GM left solid 45 rwhp (50 sae) on table.
Slap on the Halltech intake on the Z06 and you pull and keep pulling the totally stock ZR1
it's that easy. IMO
I sold my ZR1. The Z06 is better in all area's. Just needs the Halltech!

The ZR1 wasn't stock. CAI, exhaust...IF it was a Halltech CAI they require a tune per Jim at Halltech, (but the type of CAI is pure speculation). 
From what people are saying, it seems the ZR1 doesn't respond as well to CAI/Exhaust as a C7Z...Imagine an apples to apples race

Me too. But I am not seeing it the same as you. The C7 Z A8 is one awesome drag car. Even better with the intake. But on the road cpurse and rolls I still would take the ZR1.

Yes there's apples here alright but I'm sensing they're just a bit sour......

The ZR1has better cooling and is better in a straight line. The C7 Z wins pretty much anything else. Both are great cars and I want both. The ZR1 is more of an all around car. It's damn fast around a track, really good in straight line, and is pretty comfy (the interior isn't the best, but definitely not bad). The Z06 is faster around a track (needs better cooling though), much more comfy (even the comp seats), and is decent in a straight line (of course drag takes over after about 150). Both cars hace stregths and weaknesses and they are both awesome. I dont know why there's arguing going on about which is better.

If the Z06 had intake and exhaust and pulled (or even held off) the ZR1 the usuals would be in here telling us how the race didn't count because it wasn't stock vs stock. I would expect a ZR1 (modded one especially) to pull a Z06 in that particular race especially starting at highway roll speeds. Reminds me a lot of the Z vs Viper vids that came out when the Z was brand new.

Plenty of driving both cars says it's more fact than theory proving it to myself was plenty good.
Power to weight with the same gearing is pretty much the gospel!

"If you are interested in this first system, it is for sale. Tuning will be required. email me jim@halltechsystems.com Pricing is $1,695.00 for the Beehive Heat Shield (cut to the ZR1 bridge, the bridge, and K&N Filter."
So is this ZR-1 tuned as well? CAI, Exhaust and Tune? Not flaming, just curious...

He had a CAI, catback, and ice tank for his intercooler. No tune, he specifically mentioned this because he is still under warranty and wants to wait until it expires before tuning.
I've never seen the ice tank he had, it mounts right up by the oil reservoir for the dry sump system.
I think we have a car with mods racing a stock car.
Intake and the cat back is worth at 30.
I also think we get a different result or at least a better showing
(rolling starts are not the A8's game) with the M7 and a Halltech installed. My ZR1 felt faster than my M7 Z06 until I added the Halltech. Then since the Z06 wins in EVERY department with just that 1 mod. I sold the ZR1. I enjoy the 2015 Z06 more. I even enjoy my 2008 Z06 more than the ZR1.

talk about Laguna runs the Z loses again to both Viper and ZR1.
