Both races the ZO6 driver requested a bus and lost. The Stage 3 E55 is a mbworld.org forum member. The driver was Wanye(ChicagoX) the E55 also used ChicagoX's G-force T/A Drag radials.

Bus means the chance to take off first and once you move the other racer can then takeoff. Done right it gives the driver who requested it a chance to get a 1 car lead as you see in the second video but look down the track cause when you think the Z06 got it you see the light on the ETA board lights up showing E55 as the victor.

Its a digital camera what you expect? I had a stroke so holding with left hand is still shaky so way better videos will come from ChicagoX when he finishes.

I am in shock!!! Awesome runs ChiX!!!

I had all but given up on ever winning a race against the mighty Z06. Least this gives me hope.

ChicagoX

Thanks Jakpro - I can't wait to see vids of your car running 125+


Here's the "ChicagoX remix" of the E55 vs Z06 run #1:

Let the Z06 put in equal amount of mods in terms of $$$ that the E55 did and it will be a different race.

I think someone posted a Z06 with $5k-6k in mods running 10's.

ChicagoX

First off, it would take mods on top of the purchase price to equal the window sticker on the Benz.

It only takes drag radials for the Z06 to run 10's

How about saddling the Z06 with 1100 pounds to make it fair?

Listen the king of the road would still be a ZO6 C6 to us normal citizens this was done to JUST show a modded E55 could pull it off I am sure everyone knows with similar mods a C6 ZO6 would most likely be the victor everytime.....a standard E55 would not have a won let alone be able to catchup like ENDSMGTM's car did on second video when it finally get posted. The ZO6 C6 in stock form is hard to beat no matter what...........my friend with Mazda RX-7 with a small block Chevy would have made it look easy but the ZO6 driver waited til all challengers from our camp left to accept a run...so for every fast car out there there is something to kill it with. Let us enjoy our victory for now.

Looks like the Z had serious trouble leaving the line, maybe he started out in fourth?

ChicagoX

Seeing as the driver street-races, I doubt it.

That's what a 1.6x 60-foot from a Benz looks like.

HOWSER

Those are some nice runs. It's amazing to see a sedan like that launch that hard.

Wait til you guy see the editted seecond video.....I think you will be amazed more.
