Hmmmm, still seems fishy. Dgussin, a guy on SVTperformance, has a tuned, pullied, intake and exhaust, with tires, and puts about 560 rwhp and about 550 rwtq, and ran an 11.4 @ 125. So, I still can't see the Z beating one, unless he was BS'ing about his mods. Either way, a KB GT500, easily traps 130+ in the 1/4, way more then enough for even a lightly modded Z.

I've heard that the GT500 needs the Intake/Tune and 3.73's to make it a drivers race with a C6Z. I believe with the evolution tune that would put the car right at that 550rwhp mark.
If it's not from a roll you'd need some LCAs and maybe UCA too since the wheel hop would be insane in the gt500!

boy this is a familiar story....
guys I was there for the race I posted about... the Z06 is a beast of a car... the weight diff is huge!!! The Z is also geared for top end..... and forget the 1/4 times when roll racing. from a roll especially to triple digit speeds the Z06 is a KILLER!!!

How about this bargin turbo system for my Z? http://www.airpowersystems.com/corvette/tts07.htm
Can you believe that is considered "inexpensive"? 
EDIT: not sure if it lists the price, but the kit is $11k plus shipping.

There's a tune that adds 100rwhp for the Shelby Gt?
Either way I think the GT500 needs more than a intake/tune and gears to match up with a properly driven Z.

Mr. Rogers - intake, tune and pulley swap can be good for near 100 rwhp on the GT500

I'd say with a pulley, the GT500 will go up to about 560+ RWHP with a tune. I'll try to find this guys dyno sheet. Looking back, it seems he put down more like 570 rwhp and 560 rwtq. With just those mods.

I'm sure a tune, and pulley swap will get the job done, but that's not what was said...

A tune will probably add about 40 WHP if not more. Gotta love the 5.4 4V's. Ball park to say the least.

a k&n CAI has seen 40+ hp gains on the Gt500, so with a tune and gears im sure it could keep up with the c6z, but win no the races description should be ..............barn door vs needle point at high speeds

Ah, I see. My bad.
BTW, still no reply to the email I sent that dude. I bet I really pissed him off (or made him see the light).
