Loved it.

I would also like to see at the 1/2 mile mark, hammer the brakes with CCB Z07 and see the braking difference???? I imagine it wouldn't be very close, what would be anybody's guess on braking distance from 150mph-0 Z07 vs. Hellcat?

Obviously conditions are different at each event but 147mph is pretty poor, but at least it beat the cat! I think the fastest we've bone stock C7Z is 158.7mph and most people seem to be running 152ish. Someone said they just ran a 161mph with a CAI only. Impressive.

I think a better real drag race would be the ZR1 Camaro vs the Hellcat.

You mean zl1 Camaro. Not zr1

Last time I ran a 1/2 mile event with WannaGoFast in Clayton, GA most of the C7 Z06's ran in the mid to upper 140's. I was running in the upper 150's in an H/C/I C6 Z06. This elevation at this event is about 3000 so the times are always a little slower.

So much for the Hellcat.

One word: aero.

Still interested in a ball park opinion of stopping distances of Z07 vs. Hell Cat. Does anybody have any data?

Well the guy in the z06 could have shifted into 2nd over 3000 rpms and put a few more car lengths on him. I just Wish our z06s would have the Hell cat blowers on them.

70mph-0mph stopping distance, both tested by C/D

Hellcat 154'

Z06 128'

Actually thought it would be worse and will be exponentially higher at 150mph.
