I was out cruising a couple days ago when a red Z06 pulls out behind me. I pass a freeway onramp exit, and the Z06 starts to take the exit. When he sees me stay on the arterial, he swerves back behind me. Ok, so I want to have a go with this guy, and it looke like he was thinking the same. I am in my procharged 01 S281. So we pull up to a light, side by side. He motions for me to roll down my window. The first thing I said was, "Is that a Z06 or are those rear brake ducts fake?" He said it was a real Z06 with a few mods; exhaust and intake as well as somw visual mods. I was thinking, "this should be a good race for me, let's see if he wants to go." As soon as he heard the whine of the procharger idleing he asked me if I had a blower. I said yes, bring it on. When he pulled up I'm sure he wanted a race. After hearing the blower, he says, "no, I'm not gonna race ya." I say, "why?" He says, "I don't mess with blown cars." I say, " it will be a good race, if you have the mods you say you have." He says, "that's ok, beautiful car, though." Of course it was an older guy, as usual. Gosh I have trouble getting a race out of a Z06 around here. Too bad, I wanted to see what would have happened. It would have been a decent race.

405 hp compared to 310 hp and you both probably weigh about the same=you ran a bad driver.

Z06's aren't that fast, low hp (compared to what folks think that is) but its a light car. Their slow out of the hole, their fast up top. I've only ran one, and that was at the strip - it was a stick with a cam and exhaust - dyno tuned at 420 rwhp according to the owner - ran a 12.5 and backed it up with a 12.6 at something like 116 mph or something. This was in Gaineseville, FL with super cool 45 degree weather.

I seen one running 11.50 at my track the weekend I ran 13.0. He said all he done to it was added 108 octane racing gas.

I don't see how, racing gas will slow his arse down and 11.50 is a LONG way from their claimed factory 12.5 stock times

There's been a few Z06s that have nailed the 11s completely stock.

Well looking and lostening to the engine, it sounded stock. He had a catback on it of some sort that sounded like a Borla... but that was about all.
