You obviously raced a stock or lightly modded (headers, tune,) C5 Z06, here's a video from a thread you replied to, where a heavily modded E55K w/Renntech stage 5, races a STOCK C5 Z06, the E55 looks to only pull a few lengths on him..

Although the E55 says he had a few passengers, A Supercharged C5 Z06 should eat you alive, they run low into the 10's even high 9's depending on boost level & possible forged motor..

Well it was one of the 1st few posts, when Dragonamg chimmed in, saying I pretty much don't have any chance, since he thought he raced a supercharged C5 Z06 that barely beat him by 1 length, I just found this video
where a stage 5 Renn rolls a gainst a stock C5 Z06...

Supercharged C5 Z06's run low 10's high 9's

Just giving him some info to the contrary...

Were still on right?

I have some ideas where we can do this thing in the OC. But we cannot sit at the same place and own the location. It will be a lot more like a caravan. We can have maybe 10 to 15 runs over a 3 hour period. Maybe after, we can do some beer and whatever chaser you prefer…

Sure, lets do. I've also played with my share of Vettes and you'd better hope for some flat ground. Any dips and that thing goes off into the wander. Hehe!! I'll post if you take me, never worry about that. No taunts here, just straight assumptions given stock to stock runs I've been in.

It's kool bro! I just meant the Video pointed to the rear joke you kept repeating, I know you guys have the right to be cocky, you've got some major power for frickin' stock vehicle...

I've raced and beat Falco from this forum in his SLK55 w/7 speed tranny, there's a couple SLK55 guys here w/1/4 slips both ran 12.70

I also beat my buddy Mario, (E55cent) he has a 1999 supercharged E55 w/2.82 gears (better gears than the 211 55) 400 rwhp 420 rwto and he only weighs 3765lbs..

So that's acouple of races that make me want to see how I fare against one of your stock E55's--E63's

I realize I'm the underdog here, I'm the same way I have no problem writing about losing to any of you E' guys

I mean just your torque alone should beat me, but then the dreaded weight issue...So it should be fun...

I've never had any such problem in my C6?? there's actually a really severe dip on the 101 S. before Ventura w/4 lanes, everybody allways speeds there.

I hit this dip at 100+ car sucked up the suspension, but that's it! no outta control, or as you put it "Off into the wander"
She's a solid as a rock! but I'd deff want some perfect pavement for all of us, I don't race on ****y* uneven bumpy roads if I can help it, that's just lame..

I'll look at the road the best I can before running it

I will be the referee Or the pace car ?? Either way the beer thing sounds far more interesting

Oh this is a stock versus stock race right? I know Jangy has nothing but the stock engine, Ricker yours is perfectly stock too right?

I’m not making excuses. Just causin’ trouble; all in good fun of course. I was including my weight too…I think I outweigh you by 80-100 lbs (been hitting the beer way to hard lately).
