Ok, I'll be the first, Super slow-mo paused, & zoomed! Sure looks like a C6 only. I see light reflection on fascia not a scoop on hood, no flared fenders. Plus C6-Z's are REALLY, REALLY loud at WOT.
I'm not saying one car is faster, BOTH are killer rides, just don't think it's a Z, my .02

That's not a C6 Z06. It's a regular C6 corvette with probably a few modifications. There is no hood scoop on it which gives it away.

Does anyone else think that the CL65 should of won by a lot more than it did *Assuming it did infact have the ECU*

Could it be that the CL65 driver was not giving it all he could have?

That's always a possibility, the problem is with most of these videos you never get to hear both sides of the story.
At least I think the 65 owner knew they were being videotaped and I wouldn't really like to throw a race on video... I seriously doubt that the 65 had a ECU… I mean he called the Vette a Z06 Maybe it would get more looks…. Maybe

IF that wasn't a Z06, then how do we know it was a CL65, and not a CL55..

I believe a CL65 stock can walk away from pretty much anything less expensive that it, and many that are more expensive. Or so BBC top great seems to have proven with their review.

These roll-on races where you don't see from start to finish can be manipulated to show any result.

Nice video, but yes that C6 is not a Z06. I can't wait till my 2LZ arrives mid-December

Wasn't that the same stretch of high where the same (or another black) CL 65 raced a modified (500 rwhp) Cobra and a modified Supra???
Can anyone clarify this? I maybe wrong...
Thanks

Andrew, why dont you take your Lamborghini and go away? Your input is not needed, and certaintly no ones begging for it.

I'm just kidding...

You make some irrefutable points, and therefor I've come the conclusion:

"This video fails to prove anything."

Except that CL looks nice.

It could have been a CL55... 02, 03, 04 etc.

Who knows, I'm not sweating over it though... and Andrew, you still fail to keep up with me; maybe we should post the video of my SL walking your Lambo? Just a thought...

Well now that we have clear pictures to look at, yes it is a Z06. It did well against the modified CL65, especially considering the CL65 costs 2X+
