Stock C6 ZO6 vs Stage 3 E55 Race 1 and 2

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.

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.

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.
