OK your dog is awsome.

Are you trying to say you can run 12.10ish 1/4s in your zo6 like you do with your E55? Or just talking about general street racing they are similar cars?

Any of the new GTO's get the

As for C5 Z06's...
I have a close friend with headers, exhaust and a tune and we had some nice runs in multiple gears and we were dead even. He is an average driver at best though.
He also is claiming that his exhaust is leaking and was improperly installed
