That was my second C6 Z06.

He had all that torque and I walked him.

I don't care what those guys say about the S2000 having no torque, mine with proper gearing has enough to get the job done. This little car with 265 lbft of torque has pulled many Vipers, Vetts, Ford GTs, Lambo Mercis, 996tts and Ferraris.

LOL. its so quick on the R's. and he didnt even wind it all the way out with me. no need, i got the point. hehe the cam that i filmed it all with, is still broken, and the owner and i havent talked in a while. sucks, but thats the truth. lates dave

"What kind of car is that?" I responded with "A two liter honda. TWO LITERS."
that's right, 2 liters did this to you.

Nice kill! Daaaang, what kind of numbers are you guys putting down to be able to walk a C6 Z06? There's a just-posted video on the Z forums of a 525whp Z losing to a stock C6 Z06 (450whp) twice from a freeway roll.

edit: nvm, I just read some more stories and it seems that your S2K is one heck of a beast!

Sideways - By "Lambo Mercis" are you saying you've raced and won against a Lamborghini Murcielago?

Yes, Murcielago. Murcielago isn't really faster than C6 Z06, except the LP604.

Sideways has a 550-bhp S2K, which is more than enough to keep up with those aforementioned cars in a 2800-lb car (his could even be lightened too).

Reminds me of the time I raced the Veyron on my Schwinn. Sure, they have 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, AWD and 1001 horsepower, but I have 21 gears! Smoked em.

I guess my thoughts on that are this: I've seen those cars spin all 4 massive sticky tires. Their front tires are the size of his rears and those cars are AWD. They also have a very linear power curve. It just seems doubtful that it would be an easy win. Torque differences are night and day as well. 1/4 the Lambo is going to win IMO. Top end race, we know the Lambo wins.
