C6 Z06 vs. Renntech E55 AMG..*Video*

Hello everyone. Here is the race between Les's Stage 5 Renntech E55 vs. my C6 Z06 that took place last night. I had a great time. Thanks for the show, Les. Now, I will patiently wait to get my *** completely handed to me by your Evo. We will do it bro.. Just let me know when it is done..

Drives Slowly
The guy in the E55 obviously missed a shift, had a bad IC pump and I think I heard the SC shut down.

Z06's are so friggin fast! Nice runs Anyone know how much they weigh? I ran a 412whp STI that only weighed 3000 pounds and he was right there with me to about 120 (then I pulled)

Great racing Fadi! Your car is a beast, but I have to say that those Z's are very driver dependent and you are a great driver! The best chance a E55 Stage5 has is like I posted in the other thread, is a 100 shot of nitrous, weight reduction, jump, and that the driver of the Z is just a proud owner and not much of a driver. Anyway thanks for posting the vids and my guy Jason should have his vids up in a few days. Also did you get any of the C5 Z06 vs my E55? Those would be great to post to show the dominance of the C6 ZOH vs. the C5 ZOH for people who were wondering. Oh and in two weeks the Evo should be ready for you...lets see what the four banger 2.0 litre can do! Should be pretty good.

Ya, too much adrenaline rush will do that to ya, lol. But it did look like we took off evenly every time.. Les had great reaction and anticipated the third honk pretty good.

Unhappy What?!?

OMG!

So much for me thinking I could hang with a ZO6 with a pulley, and ECU tune...

Ohh well I guess I'll have to just leave those alone.

Best,

Yes, you are absolutely right, Les. The Z06 is severely driver Dependant. I heard and seen too many stories of the Z06 getting beat by X car, and then I race X car and I beat it. perfect example is the 997 TT, but we will stay on topic for now. 460 rwhp and 3100 lbs can get you a long ways, but ONLY if you are a competent driver. Thanks for the driver complement too, Les.

As far as you vs. the C5 Z06, I was not able to video tape that as I was driving. But, jay has it and hopefully he will post it along with the other angles he got.

I will be looking forward to your Evo and getting killed by it. Definitely get a hold of me once that is out and about and we will give these guys (and the Evo guys) something to talk about after we post footage of that race..

Stay safe brutha, and keep it up with the gym. Looking good..

So true man. Also it takes a great driver to not blow the tires of in the Z at 30mph and you did very well...better than I expected. Okay cool on the C5 Z and I know Jason is working really hard right now to get this footage done for the thread. In terms of working out you keep up the good work as well and thanks for the kind words. Hey love the new shifter you have!! Its sexy and feels dead right!

Didn't think the difference was that significant!

Is the z06 modded? Of course its going against a modded E55 but was just curious what you might have done.

You guys should of went from a dig just to appease the benz crowd a little. Car walked away seemingly effortlessly at speed. Could you line up a stock 63 and see how it does in comparison? Likely ugly I know but interested to see if the 63 does better from 115-150? Note to self, "stay away from Z06 on freeway"

Juice, it would more than ugly; it would be FUBAR.

Thats a stage V E55 that took that beating, no 63 will run with a Stage V but you knew that.

I was talking with Les over this subject, and for my next car, I have narrowed it down to a Gallardo SE or the Corvette SS. The funniest thing is watching the people's facial expression when they ask me what I want to get next, and I tell them "I can't make up my mind between a Chevy and a Lambo"..

If the SS is going to be that much better like the C6 Z06 is to the C6, then I will probably go with the SS.. Only time will tell. I am a huge car enthusiast and would/will never discriminate against a car due to it's badge. But heck, that's just me..
