one of my buddies has a new z06, so of course we thought we'd head out one night and play on the highway. overall, i was humbled. i didnt expect too much but that thing is fast. when i was going top end high speed arena, he couldnt catch up, but side by side its a wash.

anyone else have any experiences to share about a z06?

You are lucky to run a stock Z06. There are no stock ones where I come from, I was lucky enough to run one with an intake and tune pumping out 530hp!

Here's the video!

From the Z06's perspective!

You have a MT, not SMG. That's why you lost.

Stock vs Stock, the vette will make the M5 look like a heavy sedan!

But wait... it is!

Those Corvettes are pretty damn quick. They are not common here in Holland but I do know of 1 and he got beaten by a friend with an Impreza.
