Well, this was my 2nd race against a vette Z06, and I must admit this one was alot more quick than the previous one I raced. Owner claims it's stock, I will take his word for it!
Too bad he backed off towards the end!
Enjoy the video guys! More to come

Well, I guess at that point, your FlyM5 user name will make sense again.
Aren't you FlyC63 on MB boards? Makes sense to me until the new beast arrives.

I would expect the Z06 to demolish the E60 M5 at lower speeds due to the huge torque/low end grunt advantage. The race would have been much more interesting as speeds increased because the E60 M5 is such a strong performer at high speeds.
