Scott,
Just an FYI.... If your Z06 is just Heads/Cam it is not 600+ RWHP. You are probably at 420 - 430RWHP.

I got a brand new 65 and a 1000HP GTS Viper but no one is kissing my ***. Tuscanraider, would you like to start? Make sure you put on some lip gloss so that it will glide easily and smoothly.
(reading between the lines. STFU! If you cannot say anything nice, keep your negative comments to yourself.)
If you go back to his kills, the Z06 and the F360 instigated the race, what do you want Ben to do....pull out a banner saying "this is a SL65 and you have no match"?

on an up note,
i'm always glad to hear that when beaten, the corvette driver pulled up and gestured "it was fun though i lost".

The Z06 has an LS6, the coupe and convertibles have an LS1.

The children playing stick ball were timing it out for a little bread and sugar while momma is screaming from the 3rd floor kitchen window to get on up here before I send your father down.
Clown Boy leans into the pram without permission and boldly states “Wow- that is one ugly baby.” A fire hydrant blows; a car crash at the corner; a three alarm fire just launches while bells ring incessantly; children laughing, a bus blows off a huge cloud of diesel smoke, babies are crying – all in all a completely normal day, that is until Mrs. Benz grabs Clown Boy by the throat and says – WTF did you say?

BTW:
This thread does not suck. It is actually quite funny and proof that people on this forum can disagree, poke fun at each other, and generally have a good time without confusing "car issues" with "real life."
Thanks to all for a good laugh!
