The TT stomps the crap out of a C6.......now the Z06 is another story

People often mistake a C5 Z06 (405 horsepower)
a C6 (standard Corvette of current latest bodystyle == 400 horsepower) and
C6 Z06 which is current bodystyle in Z06 format, 505 Horsepower and has stood
the Porsche power junkies and the Viper guys "on our ear" temporarily.
The new C6 Z06 is very fast and definitely faster than stock or slightly modifed
K-16 996TT's. Beyond that the "who/what is faster gets more blurry" depending on
the mods we choose. C6 Z06's are running 11.76 or thereabouts stock in quarter mile!!
not too mention a time around "the ring" that wasnt too shabby...

Z-06 with headers did 10.9 in 1/4 with headers and some software.

Runflats.
Rear was at 26psi, and fronts were over-inflated.
Funny, the car stock will be told to "go home" if they follow the NHRA rules of 11.xx time needing a cage.

Thats 65k spent (well, maybe a MSRP + steeler bendover charge) and some 2k heads, and a what, 1k flash?
What would a turbo be with a stage four? 160k?
