2004 or less Z06 V. 03-up E55
The race is from a low mph roll, The Z misses a shift, And looks like he jumped the gun on the 3rd honk, his mods were Borla exhaust..
I believe the E55 was bone stock, The Z was starting to take a little lead before they shut it down...
Looks like the new C6 will be in the same league w/same HP + TO as the older Z06..
I didn't post this to start any wars, I just allways see posts around here stating how the older Z06, and new C6 are no competition compared to the newer E55's etc....
Guess not...

I raced one the other day, C5 Z06, he couldn't pass me, I might have had a slight pull, it was really close....
the vette in that video basically had a 1 car headstart there.... AND the E55 had his window down.... did the vette have a passenger as well?

I currently own an o3 zo6,that make in excess of 600rwhp with a pro-charger and other engine mods..........i also own a o3 e55 with k1 mod,and is currently doing the k2 upgrade.
Stock for stock,the zo6 is faster in the 1/4 mile,if you know how to drive it.
Stock zo6 vs k1 e55.The e55 is faster,b/c its so much easier to drive.
600+hp zo6 vs k2? The zo6 should be the winner,but it will take a good driver,b/c the zo6 with its mega hp will be all over the road,cant make a mistake or the e55 will eat it for lunch............i wll let you know as soon as i complete my k2 mod.

So all said it's still a very fair comparison

I believe the owner of the S/C E55 used to be on this board until his engine blew???
He had it bored out to 6.0 L + S/C... it wasn't Kleeman...
His best 1/4 was 12.5 @ 114/115??
I have his 1/4 mile run on the other computer!! grr
But yahh.....definitely W210...
I dunno if you guys remember, but there was a big controversy about his blown engine. He was CLAIMING to be stock so he can get it covered under warranty or something like that....
Someone have a clue what I'm talkin about? lol

In all fairness.. that graph is of a 427ci motor with heads,cam and a big Vortech JT trim blower running almost 13lbs boost. There is ALOT of money in that car to make that kind of power.
Granted, I wouldnt want to run into one of those things on the highway because it would probably massacre you, but on the streets it would be impossible to put that kind of power down to the ground especially with street tires.. I've had a few corvettes myself and they are great cars for the money, but, its very hard to hook them up when you modify the heck out of them.
I would be willing to bet the E55 would walk him in the low end in a street confrontation because he would be spinning his tires the whole time.
Oh... Did you see the C6 corvette with the Lingenfelter Twin turbo 427 motor?? It put down 1033rwhp!!!!!!

I wouldn't mind replacing my Procharger for a C6 TTi setup, A&A has one in the works as I've been following it's progress and much more affordable.
Here in So Cali, blown Corvettes are a dime a dozen (mostly C5s)...600,700+ rwhp, there around town awaiting to prey....hehehe! During A&A Corvettes GTG a few month ago, close to 300 Corvettes were on display and too many blown ones to count, it was shocking to say the least.
BTW: How did your Aquamist project turn out? I had great results with my 1s unit, but I decided to remove the HPS system and all the aftermarket parts and convert the E430 back to OEM. It's time to move it up a notch, preowned W211 E55 or the E63 sounds promising.

Just saw this video for the first time.....what the hell is with the sneaky beeping. I see this over and over in street racing. That is like saying "readdddyyyy sssse-go. "
It should always be 3 steady beeps like a car alarm.
Enough to give the Vette a car length for sure......if it was the Benz beeping, then it blows my whole arguement I guess, but I still hate that. I wouldn't even race if a guy pulled that *****.

I and others have allready noted the differences in the dash
Way to go great post man
