What does it take to beat a Z06
#11
I'm curious which Z06 is it - the C5 (~400 hp) or the C6 (~500 hp plus aluminum frame = lite weight). I'm thinking its the C6 since you mention it is the burnt orange color (didn't come on the C5).
If you are interested in that Aluminum Drive Shaft now I'll make you a deal on mine, see my Sig.

I run them all the time on the street, the 07's and 08's are fast cars. I take them by a fender or more up thru 4th gear, I refuse to race past 4th in my car. The older ones I don't have any trouble with at all. I just don't feel my car is set up for the kind of speed reached after 4th. In all fairness from stop light to stop light my car is a beast, but the 07, 08, Z06's after 140 mph are something. I'd like to drive one past that speed, because I think it would be cool. Of course for an extra 45,000.00 dollars they should handle speeds above 140.

I would prefer the kill for myself, I am greedy like that, but if I can't take him with the new mods, I am pretty Simon1 can that is over course he lets me drive his car

I am making 6.5lbs with the 3.8, so I am thinking right around 10lbs with a 3.4. Yes I think a roll bar may be in the future, but I would love to get kicked out in the meantime.

Just put a bottle in your car... Beat him and get it out of your system. If this is what is motivating you to go quicker I am worried. There is always someone that is going to be talking trash about Mustang's, Camaro's, Corvette's etc.
Plus the new Z06s are badd azz cars and if I had one I would be talking crap about mustangs too. Of course I would be running it on a road course instead of the drag strip. Awesome car!!
