No, the SLR beat the Z, but who would have expected any different? The Z is impressive for hanging that close.
The SUV is a Nissan Patrol, which we don't get in North America.

Ahh 505hp @ 3140lbs
original post from Dubai....
It doesn't matter what Car Magazines state about the Z06 being slower than its competitors well it's all BS!! (In real life it's totally the opposite) 
Both Stock
First Race From a Stop.

Second Race From a Roll 50km/h
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_lWKEG6LiM
And Finaly something that no Stock Z06 owner wants to experience

Ohh ok video must be rigged then 
Why don't you give us your brilliant run down on the reasons why?
I pulled a modded (ECU chip, exhaust-was the loudest phawking exhaust I've ever heard! it literally hurt your ears!!) F360 in my C6 last week
from a 45mph roll dead even till 75mph then easily walked him 2 1/2- 3 lengths till shutdown
we did this 4 times guy was freaking out asking me what mods I had?? saying "Are you sure you don't have a Cam, Heads, headers?" NOPE!

Wow! That means the C6 Z06 should be faster than the Ferrari 599GTB!

Sounds like the SLR is on the rev limiter during the last run inside.

SLR 3800+lbs 620hp heavily modded E55k can beat the SLR straight line.

They all seem verrry close on paper though, looked up a bunch of rag stats....
C6Z06
0-60 3.5
1/4 11.50 @ 127
SLR
0-60 3.8
1/4 11.60 @ 126
F599gtb
0-60 3.7
1/4 11.20 @ 128
Yes there are a bunch of higher and lower times, these seemed about average from my small inquiry

There are a handfull of guys on the Vette forums running their C6 Z06's in the 1/4 -- 11.10-11.60 @ 126-129
And I guess that video above is totally staged
