I know a 4 cylinder running 8's is sweet and impressive.... but this is a z06 haha your BALLIN and blowin the doors off everything around you haha.

I was always impressed with the 4g63 but I think i'm over it. An evo with an 35r has a hard time keeping up with a stock z06. At that point the z06 is bone stock with perfect quality at 60g or so then you have your built evo that may be a bit cheaper... but a pain in the *** to drive everyday haha. clutch, exhaust noise, boost creep, just weird little things happening every so often.. i would kill for a z06. Stock for stock, you def get your moneys worth, but the extra money in modding the evo?? I dono, I think im just over it now. I think the evos should stick to the track and leave it to the pro's for big modding. That is where they shine I think... not as a daily driver. I know, I have one haha My evo is nicely modded too, i did my research.. no nonsense, didnt add anything for the sake of adding it.. it all works together very nicely. but it will never be a car like a z06

Carbon fiber drive shaft, no A/C and other weight reduction mods definitely don't make DB's RS a full weight one. At least in my opinion.

With that said, I would give my left ******** to have DB's car.

This precise week another Vette Z06 owner ran a 10.8 with just Drag Radials street and trapped 128mph. As far as I know it is the second Z06 owner besides Ranger(www.rangeracceleration) to be in the 10's with a 10.98 bone stock and 10.85 with DR. By no means I would like this to start into a 1/4 mile comparisson.

How am I wrong...? The Z06 ran 8.8 on pump and meth and is full weight also....David's car run a 9.08 or something on race gas...So again where am I "def wrong"

My comment based on a Z06 running mid 10's has nothing to do with that car in the video. I was referring to a stock Z06 that can put on LT's, a cam, and a tune and be in mid 10's...sorry if you didn't understand that....

"An Evo with a 35R has a hard time keeping up with a stock Z06"? Are the new ones that much faster? Cause, I've never had much of a problem with the previous stock Z06's, and I'm just cammed with stock turbo and tune.

That Vette was so nice, I am impressed. The Z06, ZR1, or Porsche GT2 will be the only car I will ever replace my EVO with, but since I am poor, the EVO will have to fullfill my need for speed.

this is coming straight from the c6 forum and it seems to be around the 12.5 mark. ur #'s are probably from modified vettes.

I think you may be confusing Z06 with C6. C6 is a base Vette with 430hp; a Z06 is a way souped up 505hp. Both are factory cars.

LOL! i trap 115 and my freinds c6 z06 made me look like a fool. Yes, its double the car the old z06 was. they trap near 130 mph bone stock.

It takes a lot to get an evo on par with a stock z06 in a straight away.

EDIT: my car is just slightly faster then a stock c5 z06.
