Default What's wrong with this picture?

Saw this on another forum.

(Stage 2) E55 with 525RWHP takes out a C6 ZO6 stock twice on 2 races where the C6 ZO6 asked for the break...E55(4087lbs) vs C6 ZO6(3150lbs)...

(Editors note - I have no idea what "asked for the break" means)

Race 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYenWHy9jHA&e

Race 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr6l0G4-BPE&e

Sure there is about 80 rwhp difference, but there is almost a 1,000 pound weight difference. I'm calling shenanigans.

I saw the video of a pullied cobra with an exhaust getting its ass handed to it by a stock E55, the one they are talking about gets 25 more hp to the wheels than a stock one gets to the crank.

what up with them cutting the video right before the times are posted on the board...? i'm guessing its because the amg beat the driver, not the car

It just doesn't add up. It's not like the Z06 spun it halfway down the track. If anything, he launched it like a pussy.

The guy in the Z might be the worst driver I have ever seen in my life.

Someone on that forum responded with:

Quote:
The guy in the ZO6 does street races as I was told for money so by his choice times weren't shown but I can tell ya the E55 does very low 11s or high 10s on that strip US41 in Indiana.
I commented that the dude must be flat broke, because he can't drive for sh!t.

Because its in reality on the track, not some bench race or best case scenario. It happens all the time when people actually line up at the track and see who wins.

yea, no way should that zo6 have lost, the weight difference is too great for the hp so close. He didn't know how to drive worth a damn. And more then likely the scoreboards weren't on yet. I know here in my town they don't turn them on until dark..

the second race the vette red lighted.... so that's why the AMG got the "win light"

no way the vette had a clean pass the first time
