Boy, I laid it to this ZO6 today...lol...actually, I was behind him and he started to take off slowly, then noticed I was on his ass then started speeding up when I got into the other lane and once I was in the other lane he took off...and I kept up with him for the most part I was not even a car length behind him when he started to slow down...

Nice! Holy crap, a Z06?!?!! We had a guy here that had similar mods to yours and did a similar game with a Vette on the freeway. However, the Vette couldn't pass HIM!
In the end, the Vette owner had him pull over because he wanted to see what was under the hood of the 4-dr grocery-getter and he couldn't beat. They chatted it up for a bit then went their separate ways.

Now I don`t want to start some crap or anything but are you sure he was WOT?, I mean don`t get me wrong I think that the GTP is a strong runner (I own one) but I don`t see a 3 in pulley or intercooler or 2 1/2 in headers or oversized valves with titanium springs listed on your ride, with all the stuff you have listed you might be close to 300 HP at the flywheel, but to think that you can go neck & neck with a 400 HP fibergalss car with a carbon fiber hood is a little much isn`t it, now like I said I don`t want to get anything started but just give the benefit of the doubt that maybe he din`t down shif or something, I wouldn`t go Z06 hunting just yet if I were you.

Yeah, I agree with blowngp. Don't get me wrong- I'm not doubting your car AT ALL. The ZO6 is pretty damn fast, but it's like anything else; you need to be in the right gear. It could be that he stayed, in lets say, 5th gear from 6th, and you were down in 2nd. Many Corvette manual trans drivers don't really know what they're doing all the time with their shifting. Don't get upset; we aren't trying to burst your bubble!

No no...don't close it...I'm laughing over here...As you can see in my post, there is an "lol" there...I actually meant to type that I was pretty sure he wasn't at WOT. I mean...I think my car has balls, but I'm smart enough to know that I'd get eaten by a ZO6...I wouldn't even be able to keep up with a C5...Please don't read my comment and think of me as a ricer driving a GP...I have mucho respect for ZO6's and Vette's and was actually looking at one today! There's a 2003 with 10K miles on it for 38,000!!!! I wanna trade!!

I was just making a joke about actually closing the topic, anyway! I think everyone in here is smart and mature enough not to jump on someone's s$$t for something like this.
