So, my good friend Rob has a real sharp '03 Z06 Vette. Nice car, very tasteful asthetic mods - silver car with black wheels on a chrome lip, and blackouts. The go-fast parts are also well through out for a bolt on car, a full header back exhaust with x-pipe, Borla Stingers, Vararam cold/ram air intake, 160* stat, a tune, and a short shifter. Good street tires, but not drag radials. I've spent a little seat time behind the wheel, the car runs great, and really moves.
Bolt on C5 Z06's of similar builds are typically a mid/high 11 second car with a 122ish trap. Drag radial's can see low 11's with similar mods, but that's not the case here.
My bike is a near stock 19k 2002, with Super-trapps (thanks Kyle) with open end caps (thanks Sean), and a Dyna 3000. Runs great.
We are co-workers, have have recently been bench racing the Z06 against my Vmax to death. The consensus is that the Vmax should be a pretty clear winner from a stopped street race on the to 60-80mph speeds, at still be ahead but losing it's lead at least through a 1/4 mile. At a 1/4 mile track, the Z06 would be closer because it'll hook a little better, but will probably still be a few tenths behind. From a 40-100 roll it should be real close, and at triple digit speeds, the Z06 is going to have the clear advantage. This is all assuming a can launch and shift my way to a mid/low 11 or better. I'm a pretty good sized gentleman at 260lbs, which I know will almost certainly keep me out of the 10's, but I think it does help keep hooked up on the launch, and gives me more than enough to lean into the wheelie I fight in first and on the 1-2 shift. My Harlen shift light goes on this weekend, that should help me nail my shifts while keeping my eyes on the track.
We are hoping to get some runs in next week - what do you guys think? If we get a hot enough debate going, I may even be able to get him to register and join in.
