I've lurked around a little on corvetteforum.com as well, and I know that Ranger had the record before for a C5Z ... I believe he ran ~11.7's or 11.8's with a bone stock Z06 .

I was reading about his reports from the first time he had the C6Z at the track ... he got an 11.20 @ 127, but knew the car had more in it. Clearly, he was right .

... and what does that 500 HP Ford run again?? Oh, that's right, barely faster than an LS1!

as much as I dislike GT500s, once people start modding them or when its cold out they run awesome.

I was at the track when he did it. I saw him go 11.03 but didn't get to see the 10.85 pass. It was about 45 degrees and perfect weather for running.

That's nothing, I just got my Car and Driver and they tested a $225K Mustang with 550 hp that wasn't as fast as a stock C6 ZO6. Fords are a joke!

I drove my brother's 06 Z06 last weekend. Its as docile as a cavalier until you hammer it then its a complete animal. He also has a viper GTS and says the vette seems noticably quicker.

just read the latest issue of Motor Trend i think.. they had Viper vs Z06 vs GT500.... 500hp battle...

Z06 was quicker down the quarter.. but Viper was quicker at the track by like 1/100 of a second.... Viper has fatter and better tires, according to them.. resulting in better grip on launch and cornering

That's weird... the Z06 destroys the Viper in every other magazine. haha Not destroys, but beats. :-)

Especially on Top Gear. The Z06 was .4 or something like that behind the Ford GT and was like 1 second faster then the Viper.
