That's not anything a few bolt-ons can't fix I'm sure! I think the race could have been alittle closer with a better launch on the part of the Z06. It sounded like he bogged off the start but what the heck, you can't win them all! Still an awesome car at a great value comparatively to that Carrara GT and yet still managed to make it a race, even with the bog.

Well I watched it again and that run didn't seem like a full quarter mile. I'm not sure if that was what was intended but I'm thinking this race could have looked alot worse if given the full length of a quartermile. I mean we're talking about a car that has 100 more bhp then the Z06 and weighs slightly less. Again, nothing a few bolt-ons and a tune can't fix! Even though the same can be said for any car on that matter.

The Carrera should have outrun the Z better than that. With that much HP advantage with less weight should have been a can of asswhoop

Good runs for both cars, I think the torque for the Z06 helps, but that extra 100 hp and lighter GT has the edge. Can you even buy any bolt-ons for a GT?

No contest...... and it would have been worse had they kept going.

Looks to me like they were neck and neck , quite a showing by the Vette the way I see it, since on paper the Carraba had every advantage.

Carrera driver must can't driver or wasn't going at it fully for the Z to hang like that.

I cant remember whether it was car and driver or motor trend where they tested the carrera gt and it ran 10.90's at 130ish and ive seen bone stock c6 zo6s go 11.3 and even 11.20's in the quarter at 128. Run the race up to 190 and it might be a different story. Give the zo6 50rwhp and it will be a different story!!!
