Granted the car is not practical in most uses, but the notion had nothing to do with practicality just performance.
You are being ridiculous. Let's put motorcycles into the comparison while we're at it...!

Please ... Agreed.
Really we are trying to see what it would take as far as a modded Evo to best a stock Z06.
Now Ranger has proven that a stock Z on DR's can get into the high 10"s @129 with a good driver.
Look at the Evo track times on this site and find times that compares to what the Z did and you'll get a pretty close estimate/idea of what you'd have to put into your Evo to beat the Vette.
Good luck I think it would cost more than many of you think. I'm not considering
NOS as a mod in my statement.
Our beloved evo has its limitations. After watching that top gear segment and the other Zo6 go 10's STOCK!!! You cant beat that plus 2.0 vs 7.0 Im not into american Iron but I would get that car in a heart beat, if I had the funds.

For those that are intrested here is the video of Rangers 10.85 @129mph pass on a bone stock Z06 with DR.
He explains everything about his pass which has helped a lot of other Z06 guys post better runs with their cars.

Now we can go back and forth and go over the reasons why you think comparing a c6 zo6 is not fair to the atom but remember one thing I was simply going by the exact parameters of your previous statement.

Did you not just say that the closest car that can rival it in all performance tests was over 200k? Hell from that statement I can throw in anything with 4 wheels and an engine if you want to play technical and beleive me with 200k I can think of some cars that can rival it in many different performance aspects. You mention motorcycles haha I would never mention such a thing cause its not a car. I simply told you from what you had exclaimed earlier that you are wrong in every aspect of your statement.

Still rediculouse to compare a car with no bodywork , no interior, nothing but mechanics, to a full street car. You would compare it to any road going Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc. Keep living in your little fantasy world, bud.
