Let see. you are going to tape yourself getting used and that will mean that E55s get walked? Hmmmm, how about I post a video of my kid beating me on his bicycle? Just messing with you, bro.
I've actually spent a bunch of time researching the Z06 and I do agree that on paper they are faster than our cars. The only times we would beat them is in situations where we can lay down more than them. I also agree that a seasoned driver would woop my butt. Lets let this crap go, bro. It still doesn't change the fact that we can take them more often than not, just because our cars are easy to launch. I know people moan about the ESP, etc etc, but I have NEVER seen 500hp so easy to manage.

Those are old times my friend. I am now running 8.5PSI of boost, VRP cams, and just yesterday finished up an intake that runs through my headlights
I also run a 50 shot of nitrous but I will not use it against the Z06. I could ask Jamie to run me but I want to get an "average" driver in a Z06 to run me. Anybody local with a Z06 that wants to do some friendly runs? ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

Nice write up and thanks for sharing.
My best friend has a new Z06 and we've "played" several times. From a dig, I usually win because he's 61 years old and just can't drive it out of the hole consistantly. Second gear is also a problem for him if he's not careful.
From a roll it's no contest. He kills me every time.

Couldn't find a pic of the Camaro by itself but here's a couple of the garage.

I had a wierd experience in a 335i once riding shotgun. We stop at the lights on a weekday evening and beside us there comes a S600 lang (really rare around here) and then my friend just floored it from a roll and we went past the s600, but immediately stopped at the next lights. I look to my right and see a gray haired couple of about 70 years of age atleast and they wont even look a bit to our side. And we look at each other and laugh with my friend and he says: "You think they will race?" laughing and he floors it from the lights and suddenly the s600 just flew past accelerating full, we were beaten really badly! That was really funny. How cool was that couple!
I have never seen a s600 since around here...
