BTW a friend of mine with a 92z28 lost to him by about 1/2-1 car length ;(
Thanks for input!

Nope, most Z06s I see at the track turn in around 13 flat to 13.5 with a few upper 13's and a few mid 12's. Most guys can't launch the car right and either bog it down way over power the tires.

Re: 5.0 stang
You can not get a Z06 with an automatic, unless your a dumb@$$ and put an auto in it. Its kinda like the 1LE cars, from what I understand you couldn't get those in automatic either. And someone pulling mid14s-15 in a z06 should be forced to give the car to someone who can handle it... ummm me maybe?

Re: 5.0 stang
I agree with what you are all saying. All I wanted to get across was that the driver can make a HUGE difference. In an auto, it's much less of an issue. Like others said, as long as he doesn't burn up the tires on the launch, he's home free.
Good discussion. BTW, I have seen a 14+ second Z06 run. Some guys just don't know how to get the power to the ground well.
