C8 vs C6Z
Finally the comparison I have been waiting for and outcome just as expected. C6Z 460whp, C8 440whp. 20hp difference favour the C6Z but gives up the DCT, ME and newer tech. Old dinosaur showing who is boss.

What did you expect? A stock C6Z runs mid to high 120s in the quarter. Has more hp and weighs less. In other breaking news, Water is Wet....
Edit: That C5Z but an *** whopping on it. What mods were done?

What was wrong with that H/C/I Z06? If the car we were in was a 460RWHP car is should have been walked pretty bad even with the hit. I had similar mods on my C6Z with the addition of milled heads (why not, had to get those valves fixed LOL). I can't for the life of me remember how much HP it made but I know it went 11.4@127 slipping and sliding on the track. Dam she was a fun car

This video is terrible. A 460whp c6z destroys a 600whp c6z lol anyone who believes the numbers posted on this video does not actually race their car. Get off the Internet because this is not how it goes down lol.

600hp NOS C5 beat the C6Z. So the 460whp c6 sounds legit.
Or are you saying the C6Z has 700whp? But then gets beat by a C5 600hp. Come on you can figure it out.

Once cars are modded you can’t compare it to a stock c8. We have no way of knowing the true hp or mods done unless this is your c6z in the vid?

No not my car, but according to the other races and outcomes the 460whp looks real.

I'm guessing the 460 whp c6 z was well over 460. I've never seen a basically stock c6z walk a HC like that, and then for it to run even with a 600whp C6Z, nah!!
My Z is 620 whp and there is zero comparison bt it now and the back when it was 490whp, entirely different animal now.

Tell you what, get your C6 out there and run one. It will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside if you beat it now wouldn't it? Bragging a modded Supra which from what I gather can make 100rwhp more with just a tune and E85 really doesn't hold much water. Not even sure what tires it had on it either, the wheels looked aftermarket? That Supra would likely gap you too.

Can you imagine how much fun you guys would make of a car of a different brand if this was happening.
