I think 04 ZO6 stock were rated at 400 crank hp. So with the weight difference its possible to see a Saleen S/C edge out an older Z06, thats assuming the Zo6 is not modded and the Saleen is putting down 430-450 rwhp (lightly modded). Now the new ones stock I dont think there running in the 10's, in fact a new stock Z06 is not running 10's. but it would smoke a new saleen. The only saleen that could hang would be a new Saleen Extreme. I still think with the weight difference the Z06 wins.

Unfortunately, not much will run with a brand new Vette Z06. They're really fast. I'd love to see the Extreme take it on, though! I think the Z06 would still come out on top because of power to weight.

I've beat pre-06 Z06's.  An 06+ Z06 should beat me easily.

His girlfriend claims that he is, but I believe he is to modest to say in a public forum.

Not sure. A new extreme has 550 and with the new forged wheels curb weight is 3400. A Z06 is close to 3200 with 505. I've pulled up to one but the owner didn't want to go so I could be 100% wrong.

I'd have to see that on a scale to believe it.

I could try taking it to the city dump. They let you weigh your cars for $5.00. Last time I was there I noticed a small incline. Not sure if the carbon fiber will scrap.

Back it onto the dump scale. I'd love to know exactly what it weighs compared to the S/C which is right around 3800.

No problem. Won't be able to do it this week or next week. Schedule is way too hectic. As soon as I get a chance I will take it there. I can't believe the S/C weighs so much. I would think the extreme is even heavier.

Tough to know what to believe.  Factory specs on the new S281E's 3550, my year's S281E's 3070 and my Cobra is around 3400. 

I look at the cars in the garage (97 Cobra vs. 02 S281E) and don't see an over 300 lb difference??  I like the dump scale idea.
