C32
I'm down with my cop car. pm me phone number and details.
I will ever let you guys go over 100+mph and then i do a catch up.
Oops, remember to let me write down you guys plate numbers before the run just in case if i can't catch up you guys and i can call back up and set up some nice road blocks for you guys!
Oh if you guys bring out your cars on the track then please don't count me in. There's nothing i can do on the track.

LOL... I also read it.... but who knows? 
I ran my W210 E55 against my friend's C6 M6.... we're dead even.... but I don't think he was used to the trans yet (I got 1sec slower on C4S for 1/4 than what mags said ) .... given C55 is only slightly faster than C6, w/ a good driver or auto, C6 is certainly the winner.... lighter, bigger hp... no contest.
I think straight line... C6 should compete w/ stock W211 E55 or SLK55 (IMO, SLK55 should be a close race w/ C6).

Mind you I tried 1st race w/out traction control, and just spun my tires nearly turning myself a 180 deg. He took me on that run I had no traction.
Then I left traction cntrl on and walked him each time.
So If you compare Marios lighter 210 only 3680lbs & his RWHP-375 RWTO-380 he is as fast as a new 211 easily.
Mario, Told me after the meet in Ventura last weekend he raced and beat Brandons C55 & a brand new 211 E55 0-85 mph they caught it on VIDEO! I'm waiting to see this
So you see now why I have so much confidence in this new Vette besides the seat of the pants quickness of this car, Beating Mario's car put it into perspective his cars brutally FAST...

All I said if you re-read my post is I beat my friends SuperCharged 210 E55 which weighs a lot less than the current 211, And He beat both C55, and new E55komp w/his little 210! & I beat him So......Draw whatever smart *** remarks you want I never said I could beat the E55 I just reported what I heard from my friend's race and compared the 2 cars, hell maybe the new 211 E55 couldn't drive his Automatic for ****?
I do believe Mario's car is as fast as the new 211 55, & I repeat I'm not saying C6 can beat the 211 55 but the info I got from Mario leads me to believe it would be a close race end of story.
Once again anyone out there wanna run me??

i know MTI, very well known and reputable shop here in town, they turn out some really fast cars....BUT, they still don't have anything that can hang with the supra...
they are claiming they will soon, but that has yet to be determined...

C6 vs. W211 E55 = close race.... C55 / W210 E55 vs. C5 = close race.... All assume similarly skilled driver and of course, stock... C55 / W210 E55 vs. C6 w/ lousy driver = close race (so OP's experience is very possible).
As for your logic, yes, I think that's a reasonable expectation. A > B and B > C then A > C... but that assumes that condition when A > B and B > C is the same... while I think since it was done by two different pairs of drivers and at two different time and at two different location / condition / temparture / humidity, I think the logic may or may not hold.
Looking at C6's drag slips (1/4 in 12's) and W211 E55's slips (1/4 also in 12's), I think it's fair to conclude that it's a close race between C6 & W211 E55.
Why Mario could beat W211 (wouldn't be surprised if he could beat C55) but got killed by a C6... no one knows.... may be he heatsoaked his engine before he ran you.... or may be the W211 he ran heatsoaked also... anything could happen...

Mods are Evo stage 1 plus splitter IK16 plugs/magnecor wires, K&Ns, res delete and weight reduction to probably 3400-3500. Guessing 340 RWHP. Best time is a 12.8 (but with a 2.1 60 foot, which sux) and best MPH is 112. Usual times are 12.9-13.0 @ 110-111. My launches suck. . . have never gotten below a 2.0 (but I always ran at now-defunct Carlsbad, which I have heard is a horrible launch track).
For comparison sake, I have raced a C5 Z06 and he pulled me, but very slowly (maybe a car from 60-110) and I pull slowly on stock S/C Cobras. I pull stock (non-Z06) C5s and E46 M3s pretty easily. I have run a 211 E55 and we were even, but we ran out of room within a few seconds, so I cannot say for sure if my car could really hang with one or not. I tried a 996 turbo the other day, and could not shake him (we only had one lane, so he was behind me).
Race with your stock C6 should be close.

Thericker, first of all I got your number on my cell phone and I will call you as soon as sort out this mess. Second, I have a lot of respect for Corvettes because they are one of the fastest rides on the road. Third, I am a noob, yes but I never said I can smoke a corvette in my mercs with my eyes closed. I am just responding to the thread adding a little flavor to a lopsided "I am a corvette owner and I can smoke any mercs out there thread". We are all enthusiasts that appreciates fine high speed vehicles. Let's not turn this into a rivalry where my car is faster than yours and I can smoke you.
Straight line racing is a pretty much no brianer, pedal to the metal and go. Canyon runs is fun if it is in a controlled environment where you actually have group of people coordinate the run. one or two people to each check point with walkie talkies informing each check point from top down of any possible on coming traffic or road hazards. Everyone in the group takes turn manning their check point. How realistically is this? Very unlikely because people are selfish and really don't give a hoot for others. It is evident because no one has yet contacted thericker to coordinate a run. Btw thericker - I called your cell phone and it gave me the message that you are outside of your coverage area. Doing canyon runs in an uncontrolled environment may result serious injuries or even death.

?) I love racing cars it's a blast I'm merely trying to drum up some friendly races that's all, Lets not forget I owned a Mercedes for 4 years & still love them I just moved onto something diff & know that all these AMG cars are the ones to be reckoned w/Soooo that's it no high & mighty Vette crap.Sorry I generalized in the begining of this thread about C32, C55, SLK55, owners being that way I shouldn't have done that.

I tried a 996 turbo the other day, and could not shake him (we only had one lane, so he was behind me).
Race with your stock C6 should be close.
Mods are Evo stage 1 plus splitter IK16 plugs/magnecor wires, K&Ns, res delete and weight reduction to probably 3400-3500. Guessing 340 RWHP. Best time is a 12.8 (but with a 2.1 60 foot, which sux) and best MPH is 112. Usual times are 12.9-13.0 @ 110-111. My launches suck. . . have never gotten below a 2.0 (but I always ran at now-defunct Carlsbad, which I have heard is a horrible launch track).
For comparison sake, I have raced a C5 Z06 and he pulled me, but very slowly (maybe a car from 60-110) and I pull slowly on stock S/C Cobras. I pull stock (non-Z06) C5s and E46 M3s pretty easily. I have run a 211 E55 and we were even, but we ran out of room within a few seconds, so I cannot say for sure if my car could really hang with one or not.

How about doing this the right way, and organizing a 1/4 mile meet at Palmdale (or some other track that is convenient)? Since Carlsbad shut down, I have been itchin for some strip time. Ricker?

They are really tightening the noose.So yes I think my street racing days are over there's way to much penalty involved, Also the obvious public safety issues I've viloated countless times
.I've never been to a 1/4 or 1/8 mi track but will be going NOW, It seems the only viable option now a days.
So yeah lets set something up ASAP!! I think it would be great
I'll start looking on the web for whats available around LA.
