Ran my first C6 Z06
We played a bit on the freeway. There was too much traffic and I'm not in to darting in and out of traffic. I must say however, the acceleration on that car is SICK! It sounded like he had exhaust or that he had the "resonator" mod done.
Anyway, we pulled off the freeway and onto a nice unoccupied 4 lane road. We went at about a 20 mph roll. He jumped out, thanks to the nice 325's on his vehicle and my skinny 265 Conti's. I held him through first. He pulled about a 1/4 car into 2nd and about another 1/4 car into 3rd. That took us up over 100 and we ran out of room. I was pleased with the way I was able to hang. I do know one thing, Josh's (DragonAMG) E55 would have pulled him all the way up. Anyway, nice guy. We gave each other props and went about the rest of our day.

Yes, I'm aware of that, however, the exhaust only opens at full throttle and his was loud at idel, hence my belielve that he either did the "fuse mod" to have the muffler open all the time or had aftermarket exhaust. The car had some other appearance modifications so who knows.

I have not. It seems like every time they have a night at the local track, I've got something planned ahead of time or I'm out of town. It looks like I'll have to wait until Feb. or March. I've also been trying to get the car dyno'd for the past 3 months, but again, haven't been able to make it work with my schedule. It's been somewhat frustrating.

Well you must be putting down some stout #'s to have hung w/C6 Z06 like you described, more n more track time w/stock C6 Z06's have netted some very agressive track #'s 11.25---11.40's for a lot of folks over at Corvetteforum.com no there not all pro drivers like Ranger who thru down a 10.85 stock w/drag radials
