I have personally witnessed a mildly modded GT2 slaughter (approx 10 cars) a stock C6 Z06 from a 60 roll up to 180. So, I doubt a stock Z06 could "easily" beat a stock GT2 in a high speed roll on.

 

Hey guys, sorry for the wait. I was out all night tonight as Friday's and Saturday's are the only nights I can have fun before heading back to work for the whole week.

As far as the race, it was a blast. It is always a great time meeting up with Les. The race was to be expected. One car (Z06) is making 460 rwhp at 3100 lbs and the other is making 490 rwhp and is 4000 lbs (Amg)

I will post the video tomorrow when I wake up (If I ever wake up, lol)..

 

Damn bro! take a Nodoze! details!!! how many lengths you're torturing us Thanks though for getting back at all on a fri night late

 

It is too late to get into details. I need to get some sleep. I have been up for 24 hrs.. Check your PM box though.

Thanks for coming out Les. See you again soon..

 

And I have personally beat a SRT-10 Viper in my 340 rwhp 2001 Z06 (And have a video of it) from a 40-140 roll. What does that prove? Nothing, other than the fact that the Viper driver needs to pass that car on to someone that knows how to drive..

I am sure you get my point..Good night..

 

Way to represent bro! E55's brace yourselves for this one, if the vidz are anything like the pm I got E55 Renn 5, is not top dog against a very near stock C6 Z06

 

I understand what you are saying completely.

However, I am fairly certain the two drivers (Z06 and GT2) are very skilled and have performed numerous roll on races. This race was performed at a location where roll ons are performed regularly.

Then again, I don't know what mods the GT2 had.

 

Hey guys I did my best last night and the races were great. Fadi is real class act and this is how the night went...also a big thanks to Jason from MB Productions doing my video shooting professionaly and Fadi also had a camera so it should be great to watch the evening:

E55(ESP on) vs. 06 Z06(zlicious) 30-120mph
I was in first gear and we both got off the 3rd honk equaly no one getting the jump. Z pulls almost immediatly never looking back so as the vids will show this truely is a mismatch of power to weight. By the end of first gear Z by a car and still pulling, at the top of second into 3rd 3-4 cars and by fourth well bus legnth measurements are now to be taken.

E55(ESP off) vs ZO6(zlicious) 55-145mph
I was in second and again a clean pull of the honk and it seemed like the same thing happend as the first race. Allthough this time cause we went higher in speed the Z really showed its p/w advantage...again bus legnths.

E55(ESP off) vs Impala Turbo(traps 120ish in the qtr) 40-120mph(two races)
I got the jumpon the 3rd honk mainly due to the large turbo in the Impala and its lag. I pulled pretty quickly and we had two races that show that I due pull him pretty nicely.

E55(ESP off) vs C5 ZO6(not sure on mods) 45-120ish
Clean off the honk and dead even for a split second then I begin to pull...by the end of the first race I think I had it by 3-4 cars...but from memory it may have been more...the vid will showit better.

E55(ESP off) vs C5 ZO6(not sure on mods) 55-120ish
Same as last race off the line as it seems Z did better at first and then I begin to pull pretty well...unfortunatly Z misses 4th so race ends prematurely...but you guys can see what happens from the first race.

All in all a great evening with great guys! The cars looked great and ran strong. But as I stated in post #3 on page one of this thread....stage 5 renntech and maybe a 100shot are needed to have a prayer against the new Z. I would also do the following to give the E a drivers chance: Weight savings of 500 pounds is in need as my E55 weighs 4300 or so pounds so no matter what torque you can generate it still is not enough against the Z's power to weight. I think that if any of the stage 5's run into a Z try to get them from a dig and make sure your car has drag radials and only race to 120mph....after that it gets ugly! Thanks everyone who came out last night and I wish more guys out there could be as classy as Fadi in racing and I dont think there were any suprises. We just wanted to give you guys and gals tangible evidence as to it is what it is...and I hope you enjoy. I know once my camera guy digitizes the footage we can post it after a little editing to make more watchable for the entertainment factor. So stay tunned. I know Fadi will prolly just post his raw footage first and just know that there is more to come after that airs.

 

It is always a pleasure, Les!! I am looking forward to capturing the Evo race and showing everyone your so sweet revenge on my Z..

I am uploading the Impala race right and will post it in about 10 mins..

 

Nice runs!

C6 Z06. I think that may be my next move.

 

Thanks for the blow by blow guys. I'm sure it was lots of fun.

Kudos to Les for representing the e55 guys.

Congrats Zlicious on the victory and look forward to the vids!

 

Guys, the vids are already posted!

Looks like it is going to take stage 5 plus nitrous to keep up with a C6 ZO6. Even that may not be enough!

 

I really don't understand why a 600hp E55 gets beaten by a stock Z06 so easy. Maybe its the gearing? See this video: Supercharged SLK55 (600hp) vs stock 06 Z06. As you can see, Z06 is not pulling on the SLk55, which has less hp than stage 5 E55. Of course SLK weights like 600lbs-700lbs less, but still...

P.S. I can't wait to run some Z06's when my SLK is done... should be next month if all goes well

 

MIldy modified in Porsche turbo terms means up to 1100hp so it wouldn't suprise me if the GT2 walked away. All I know is when my Z was stock and my best friends GT2 was stock the Z06 always walked away. The GT2 is 120mph car in the QT on a good day. The Z06 will do 127-129 on a good day. That's a huge difference.

What you guys should know about the Z06 is they don't weigh 3150 and they don't have 505hp. In reality when weighed they weigh in at about 3050-3080 and when dynoed they have 530hp assuming a conservative 13% loss. If you use 15% it's more like 550hp. My car dynoed 465hp stock. That's more than 505. Considering A Murcielago dynoes at 430 you can see how the Z is so fast.

 

600-700lbs less is like having 60-70 more rwhp...makes a massive difference.

 

Very true. I ran a 412whp STI and we were practically dead even up to 120 (I started to pull). the difference being he only weighs 3000 pounds!

 

Actually, this is a great video to answer your own question and why the Z06 beat the E55 like it did. Just look at the numbers:

SLK55:
3500 lbs, 600 bhp
3500 / 600 = 5.8 lb/hp

Z06:
3100 lbs, 505 bhp
3100 / 505 = 6.1 lb/hp

So, the Benz has a slight better power/weight ratio, but the Z06 took advantage of its aero and gearing and the race makes complete sense. A pretty much even race between the two.

Now work out the numbers the same way with the E55 AMG and you will see why what happened did happen. It is ok though, because they are completely two different cars that shouldn't even be compared. But the fact that the Benz is being compared to one of the fastest cars out right now, that says a lot about the AMG..
