One Bad *** Corvette
Not usually a Corvette fan, but this one caught my eye. Tastefully modify. Wonder what he has under the hood.

It appears stock to me having the Z07 aero option in carbon fiber. All the new Z06s are factory rated at 650 HP and 650 TQ at the crank. Probably the best new performance bang for the buck around at 100K loaded.

as far as i have seen, for 1/4 mile times, best hellcat is 9.70 from HHP Racing and best new z06 is 9.87 from Fasterproms racing
i must admit i havent followed either platform much though as i cant get past the interiors

Sorry guys. So this is a Z06 or Z07? It just doesn't look like other Corvettes I see on the road.
The owner of this Vette's daughter goes to the same gymnastic school as my daughter. If this Vette was stocked, would I be embarrassing myself if I asked for a friendly race ?

Tout's wife ran a 9.3@140 in her Charger HC same day.
Crazy part, a few pulleys and a tune were their mod's. Challenger had a 100 shot also.
Bang for buck, hard to beat the z06 or HC if we are talking mod'd vehicles.

If this data is correct and it's the same car as pictured, I actual think I have a pretty good chance if the vette is stock. If he is tune, will I be humiliated ?

I think your tuned bigger turbo alpha 63 against a stock new z06 should pull slightly on the vette with perfect launches
A tuned new z06... Wow... If perfect hookup then that'll be a hard vette to keep up with
Just wait till he has heat soak and then race him lol

This really got my curiosity going. Going to get my E63 back from service tomorrow and my baby will have her gymnastic class on Tuesday. I'll see if the vette owner would be interested in a race since his daughter has the same time slot for practice and I see that vette all the time there.
If AMS performance numbers are up to par and a full service, I'll let you guys know if it's a go and if I can get a video of it if it goes down.

On a roll you will probably win

I'll be watching for an update -
I agree with a lot of the comments. Vette best bang for the buck, and modded (whew) and bring on the twists. I love modding a benz, and the interior is much nicer.

Lol. I tried saying C7 Z06 with LT4 really fast, but the cat got my tongue. Then I tried Alpha 9 and it came out smooth.
If the owner agreed, most likely it will be from a light and am confident I'll take him on a local street 2 cars length.

David,
Assuming this ZO6 is stock you should definitely pull in a rolling drag race. Your setup should be good for 133-136mph in the 1/4 and the best I've seen from a stock C7 ZO6 has been 127mph. Also, the Z07 aero package looks awesome and works great around the twisties or on a track, but it actually slows the car down considerably due to increased drag as the speed goes into the triple digits.

Status update. So didn't see the owner/dad of the said vette last Tuesday, but did catches him yesterday as we were both pulling into the parking lot. The owner/dad was seated at the next table so I casually struck up a conversation mentioning he had a very nice vette. Long story short, we both went out for a smoke and before I knew it. We were both at a stop light front and center. Light turned green and I believe the vette was burning more rubber than me off the line and off we go. Got to 80mph before we let off. I was at lease 3 cars length ahead the whole time. When we got back to gymnastic and the first thing he said was he couldn't believe how fast a 4 door sedan was and he was having a heck of a time keeping up.
Im proud of my sedan. Just glad wife and baby wasn't in the car.
PS. He was stock ( 6 months old vette ).

If that plate reads what I think it does believe hes on the corvetteforum
Figured the outcome would be whats posted
ever think we'd see the day when one could write a check at a dealer and walk out with a low 11 or poss even 10 sec car WITH a warranty. Good times were living in
Technology is amazing
