its obvious that race makes him feel like fire ants running, bitting their way through his viens. you have the upper hand here, dont let him get to you. you won after all. you have proof.

Nice kill. It's a shame such a nice car(z06) is owned by such an idiot. I'd say he got what he deserved.
I hope one day to sell my coupe C5 for a C5Z and twin turbo it. Would be sick as hell to own a C5Z-TT and an FD-TT in the garage. Someday...

I still like the new C6 ZO6 though. There's a lot of technology packed into that car... not just the motor but everything else about it. I think a turbo C5 ZO6 would be overkill. But I think the C6 ZO6 is overkill (street car). I still want one

That being said, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the money.

Stock Fd's trap mid 13's at 100 or so.
Stock Z06's have trapped 11.8's at 118 plus.
2800/255= 10.98 power to weight
3150/405= 7.77 power to weight
