Why do you show stock stats in the beginning when the car is obviously not stock?

I hate street fire, when ever someone links to it I always end up spending the next hour or 2 browsing the videos.

To demonstrate the drastic difference between two cars.

$83k, 12 years newer, DOUBLE the horsepower stock, weight almost the same.
The Z06 is almost entirely carbon fiber, and is underrated at 505 hp.

that was nice. did you get your rear end fixed? if so, what did you do to it. I am looking at re-building mine soon and would like to know some suggestions and get some free product reviews on the parts you put into it!

Nice driving.

Thanks.
The guy with the vette clearly has some driving issues, I've seen them run as fast as 11.50's and usually 11.7-11.8 @ 125 ish stock......

Ok, but the car in the video isn't 255hp. Maybe a stock one is, but the one in the video is not stock. Posting that in the video is extremely misleeding.

Im pretty sure the only thing carbon fiber on the Zo6 are feetwells.. Needless to say the are made of some kind of hightech lightweight/metal material. Who cares they are badass anyway you look at it. I'll stick w/ the rotary though. I like the displacement factor!

As far as the carbon fiber goes on the Z06, it's the fenders, front fascia, and hood. Everything else is lightweight aluminum I think and other crazy stuff. Regardless, crazy car man!

Nice driving.
It was actuallt the output shaft. I am happy with my Kaaz 4.30 rear and chromoly axles, I don't expect them to break any time soon, although the rear is loud (normal).

Here is the recent thread about what broke on my car :

I am running BFG drag radials, they are fat and mean looking, hook well, last long and are decent in rain, but cause wheel hop and break stuff. I MUST get ET Streets.
I use 255/50/16s on stock rims.

My best 60' time is 1.88, I have run low 12s and high 11s with a 2.0 sixty.

Ok, I am sorry for "misleading" you by posting the factory specs. If it helps, the picture of my car that has 255 hp on it was taken when the car was bone stock.
Also, my signature clearly states my current horsepower level.

The floor of the car is balsa wood sandwiched in carbon fiber. The car weights 3100 lbs with a 7.0 liter big block. I am a GM technician and work on / drive Z06s pretty often. Thanks guys.

As a GM tech, you should know the LS7 is a SMALL BLOCK......duh.

LS7: The Largest, Most Powerful Small-Block Ever Built
DETROIT - From its inception 50 years ago, GM's small-block V-8 has been a mainstay and favorite of the performance world. Nothing, however, in the production history of this respected eight-cylinder icon comes close to matching the performance of the all-new, 505-horsepower LS7 small-block.
