Oh, and in the vid, I started out in 1st gear at 25mph. I've got Toyo R888 305-30-19 out back, and once warmed up, they give good tration in 1st. In the video, there is some wheel spin in 1st, but not that bad at all. You can tell, because if it was bad wheelspin, once I shift into 2nd you'd see the rpm fall quite a bit because I would actually not be going as fast as the speedometer says...and this just doesn't happen!

No I have not raced a stock Z06 (and I assume you me a C6 Z06). I would bet you quite a bit of money that it wouldn't be pretty at all for a stock C6 Z06! Z06's put down around 430-440rwhp bone stock, where as I have around 600rwhp....do the math!

ya, i figured if you were local it woudl be fun to try.... i have no problems losing... (although it hasn't happened so far)..
did you do anything to the bottom end? 600whp has to be fun as hell.
when rear tires go bald i will hopefully find something more sticky so I can hook up better... even stock I have a hard time hooking up.

Awesome run! Nearly 180 mph on a public road is pretty stupid but then again, you were only travelling at high speeds for about 20s.
Impressive acceleration, to say the least.

Are you forged? Who did the tuning? 600rwhp has to be quite a ride. My '08 C6 makes around 430rwhp and it's pretty fun to drive. I can't even imagine another 170rwhp.
