Who do you guys think would win this race, a Corvette ZO6 against a 911 Turbo?

Yes it can, but to be honest, that's more about careful clutch work than it is about the torque of the engine. I could start in 5th gear when my 540 was stock, and it would take a long time to get up to speed, but it would get there. Now I can start it in 6th.d3ity said:Holy shit it can do that?
I think Jan Magnussen (as good a driver as he is) drove the car in one day, set that time and then left. With enough time im sure that he would have bettered that time (especially with the now upgraded suspension ZO6).Ivan said:is this wrong? from wikipedia so not sure if someone made it up or something

A group of local 6speedonliners rented MIR today for a little get together to take advantage of this awesome weather and several guys ran the best ever runs as the track was like Fly Paper and the Air Conditioning was on high!(40 degrees). My goal when I went out today was to try and beat the Pure stock stock tire record which I was able to do! I usually take a couple of cars and I felt it was hampering my driving one to perfection so I only took the Z06 so I could really drive it to its fullest! My Second pass of the day was a 11.08 at 128 followed in order with a 11.11 at 128, 11.02 at 129 and a 10.98 at 129 on the Factory issued Fun Flat tires. I believe this is the first ever 10 sec. run with a bone stock car on the bone stock tires? As the track was hooking so hard I was hesitant to try my drag radials as I was having no issues with traction, (just my technique) but I was actually hot lapping the car to get a feel for my leaves as it was so cold engine temp was not an issue. After I got the (Stock Tire) timeslip validated with a signature from the MIR track owner I put on my drag radials and tried for my best time! Initally I wasn't running any better than with the stock tires because the DR's were cold, but once they came up to temperature they started to make a difference as I was able to run a 10.96 at 130, a 10.92 at 129 and finally a 10.83 at 130 mph! which I believe was caught on video and will posted tonight on UTube. If some one would help me post my time slips I would appreciate it so I can move from 3rd place on the fast list to the top!
thanks
