CLS63030vsZ06
Some great runs tonight, E55, E63, 2 Z06 one on the bottle running low 12's. The other stock.
This time it was clear as day I peak over and in the left lane is a pewter Z06, it actually said Z06 on the side of the car. I had watched the other yellow Z06 run an 11.9@118 and was not feeling good about this matchup. Pull up to the tree and reel off a .038 reaction time jumping out on the Z06. I am ahead at 60 ft , 330 ft and 1/8th , he starts pulling but guess what race ends and the 63 holds off the lighter and equally powered vehicle. I know the Z06 drivers have to be pissed they are losing to 4 door 4500 lb cars. I shattered my previous best tonight and managed some incredible 60 ft times with my new pilot sport cups. The Z06 had the race continued would have rushed past but , he ran out of room. Oh the horror! So I am 2-0 racing the car that is faster than the SLR, LOL.

Good runs!
That 60' time for the Z06 is horrible,you killed him out of the hole.Not really an easy car to launch super hard.Any vehicle that can put 30mph+ on the back half is moving,he gained almost 27mph

Yeah no question , the car would have an easy time passing me from a fwy roll. Too bad we were on a track! How frustrating that must be to know you are faster and not be able to beat a HEAVY Sedan, oh I mean HEAVY 4 door coupe. My 60 ft was not great but my reaction time slaughtered him!!!
:-)
Gotta get the jump when racing a faster car. I think it would be unfair to expect the CLS to keep up with a Z06 when the difference in weight is so drastic.

Jeez you beat him and he out trapped you by almost 7 mph?? ... dont want to take anything away from you but how often will you really get a chance to race a Z06 from a dig in the real world.
Anyways good run ... will someone who can launch a Z06 please race Josh

Looking for a new toy.
As much as that 112 trap is, it's still low for a C6 Z06, so I would venture to guess it was a C5 version? I've seen those run in the 13's with inexperienced drivers. But a win is a win, enjoy and congrats!

Your Z06 would likely do a 13.5-13.6 at LACR. Do you guys even read. The Corvette drivers dial their own times. THEY ALL CHOOSE between 13.4-13.7 on this track , why? Because that is what they run. You run what you run. The Z06 at this track is a 13.5 car end of story. Show me , and I will report differently. Racing on the dragstrip is far more technical than rolling down an abandoned airstrip!! Someone with a stock Z06 who has recorded a time at LACR under 13.0 please tell me bout it.

Yo Vic,
I could care less if the guy out traps me, it means nothing. What matters is reaction time and the 60ft. You beat any car there and you are likely headed to victory. I dont care if your racing a 1000hp Mustang , you beat him by a half second on the reaction time it puts alot of pressure on him. Last night I made it to the bracket racing final, PRO TROPHY. I lost to a 1970 station wagon running 18.70 1/4 mile. How did I lose? Well he dialed a near perfect light, I had to spot him 4 seconds and I panicked and moved out to quickly. Disqualified. I had done the same thing the wagon did to me to my previous 4 opponets. A good light wins most drag races, the Z06 is not fast enough to make up for a bad light period. It happens over and over again at LACR. There is one Z06 that runs 11.9 seconds @120 plus but he is on the bottle !
The Vette drivers are very cool and also frustrated but they run what they run and I do not think the guys want to risk breaking out so they keep the dial times at 13.5 and above to prevent having to stress over the perfect launch etc.. For the record I have not lost to a Z06, nor do I claim my car is faster. I only post the timeslip because it once again demonstrates the difficulty of the track and how cars under EQUAL CONDITIONS perform.

118 mph trap at sea level. Not terrible
It could of been a C5. It said Z06 but how do you tell C5 vs C6?

Thanks, gret pics and without a question the car had that extra air intake so it was an 07. The difference is clear. stock C6 was running 13.9 at this track. The altitude here really douses the N/A motors my car included. Thanks for pointing out the diff now I will be more accurate when logging the Vette times at LACR. I know the cars are much faster based on other data sets but I run on a crappy track where the DA is usually 4000-5500.

I think you are preaching to the choir- my statement was about the real world. I dont consider the drags to be the real world but I do consider them to be the differentiation between drivers when cars are equal or in your case cars that are not equal under same conditions as you said. My statement was about how many times on regular streets would you get a chance to line up against a C6 Z06 and run a quarter.

On a drag strip and on slicks it runs 10.3-10.5@130+
On a drag strip CGT made 12.1 then what? Nothing...Its not drag cars
+I dont care about 1/4 mile...
