I agree with OP. No need for a 465 hp car to race a 600 hp car. If you beat him because he took off in 3rd and you in 1st, what have you accomplished?
Getting your **** handed to you by a faster car is equivalent to watching a fine women walk by. Even though you may never stand a chance in hell of nailing it, its still worth drooling over, lol.
Hell I would have ran him. I ran a newer model corvette and I hung with him for about one tenth of a second. Guy still gave me thumbs up. Once I install the Vortech,maybe I be able to hang for a full second, lol!!

Well you could take pride in being the better driver. I beat Zo6 at the track last year. He trapped 123 to my 119. He had the better car for sure. Racing is a little more than who spent the most money.

Every current base model corvette or older then 04 Z06 Corvette you should be able to take down. At least, I can.

Sorry mang, I don't see ya running with a well driven C5Z. They make close to the same power you do, and weigh a LOT less.
Sure, the average driver will run mid-high 12's. However, a few personal friends that had them, bone stock broke 11's and trapped 115-117. Bone stock I might add.
OP - It would take a lot to beat it, but, the big picture and point is, running him just to see how sexy that thing looks and sounds as it runs away
Gotta admit that I don't tolerate losing very well. But I just had to run a 427 AC Cobra(kit car) a few years back, even though I knew he would eat my lunch. Hearing its engine wind up, and its exhaust roar from 40-100 mph was definitely worth having to swallow a loss.
