What type of race? 1/4 mile, top end, twisties?
If you want a better chance of winning, forget the straight line races. Throw some turns into the mix if you really want to show off! Everything I've read said that the Z06 is a handful for anyone but the most experienced drivers in terms of handling.

I would say that you will have a tiger by the tail unless your friend has no experience driving the ZO6. My experience in owning a ZO6 and having done several DE events is that the car is extremely potent in the right hands, however it does require finesse when you get into the twisties being a rear wheel drive car with tremendous Torque. Good luck with the runs & be safe. Todd
What year Z06?
The latest ones are monsters stock, and modified I imagine they could produce crazy horspower depending on how extensive.
Make sure you take a video of it. I'll be rooting for you, but you might have a tough one on your hands..

I am pulling for you, but I think you are wrong about getting him in top speed. Even if the 996 has a faster top-end, which I don't think is the case, that car has so much more pull up to 100mph, it would have to be a very long straight course for that top speed to make any difference.
If it is not on a road track, I don't think you pull this one off. Can't wait to see the videos.

Its either 06 or 07 modified , guys already raced a stock Z06 this one helped him the turbo lag but at top end it was so easy for my 996 "modified " pass him easly
If you guys seen so much videos if you remember there's a video a 996T " AUTO " racing a viper GTS , the viper was ahead until he shift in 5th the 996 catch up passed him so easy what try to tell you or to ask if the modified one will effect the gear ratio for the Z06 at 5th & the 6th gear ?
Camera is ready
24hr to start the fun

So he is pushing out at least 505 hp and if he put a supercharger on it he probably has an extra 150 hp.
Stock Z06 has a top speed of 198 mph and is 150-200 lbs lighter. You must have some serious mods to be able to keep up to him.
Can't wait to find out what happens.
