Just ran one in Mexico with my KB'12. 60-140. We went twice. First time I got the jump and he couldn't catch me. Second run, he got the jump and I couldn't reel him in. This was on my street tune which makes about 30 less than my track tune. I don't know what his mods were if any but it wasn't overly loud or anything. It had aftermarket wheels/ brakes but probably not much else. Should I be encouraged or discouraged? Lol! We were pretty much dead nuts even after the initial hit.

Vettes are high to mid 11 sec cars stock. On the hwy the weight and aero advantage is huge. Id say be proud. It probally wasnt stock.

Incorrect.

With a good driver, stock C6 Z06's can be rowed to 10.90's. Ranger did many times to prove it could be done. If it was modded like cam and exhaust, you would have got walked on the big end.

Z06 > ANY mustang.

Stock tires? I can see it with tires but that must have been a hell of driver mod. LOL New shelbys seem to pick on them and the V's. I saw one on the Dyno at PRT's and it made 510 on a mustang dyno with exhaust tune cam.

I haven't found a Z06 yet that can hang with me. Not saying there aren't any out there that aren't faster than me, just that out of the 10 or so that have chosen to pick a fight, they did not bring enough.

Lol at new Shelby's picking on V's

Seen a few vids of it happening. Your V makes alot but that does not mean they all do. Most Ive seen make around 700+ and weigh around 2-3 Hundo more then a shelby.

This was highway, so not too much required for a driver mod. I didn't notice any lags between shifts for him, so he was rowing them pretty well. I'm sure at the track I would have got him since I can hook and with my auto it should leave hard. I was mostly thinking about what kind of mph they run at the track since we were really close. I figure I was around 580 or so rwhpmon my street tune.

Was the Vette silver by chance?

**Doug1227** · 06-01-2013, 12:01 PM

No. Black with black wheels. I was on 121 coming from Cars and Coffee. Not sure if that's where he was coming from. I'm sure there are tons of black on black ones.

I'd be pleased with the runs considering what they cost and that you're doing it in a GT. We can't all afford a C6 Z06 but to be able to keep up with/beat one is impressive.

So what's the trick to getting vettes to race, when I had my Cobra and LX it was a miracle to actually get one to do anything.

**STROKD** · 06-01-2013, 12:24 PM

Doug, stock, they should run around 11.2-11.5 @ 125ish. Since it wasnt loud, it wasnt cammed... cams in the LSx cars wakes them the hell up and makes them sound pissed off.

Sounds like you had a couple good runs, did you get to the track last night?
