Very nice! Sam also drives for Dodge in the Formula Drift series.

Awesome! Thanks for posting the video.
When my car grows-up...it's gonna be just like the Stop tech car

The narrator HAS to lose the annoying voice.

THE TECH · 06-15-2008, 12:20 PM

Wonder how bad it would have lost though without the s/c.

Or, how much faster the Vette would be with a built NA motor. Love the Maggie's, but they're not the ideal setup for road track duty.

That z was a beast! I love to see a porche loose to a vette!

America rocks!

Hmm...with instant power, not sure how they're not perfect for track use.

Because instant power usually blows the tires off coming out of a turn and rolling into the gas.

The power can be modulated since it's a roots blower, but the added weight over the nose and extra underhood heat probably aren't ideal for a track-day car.

Heat. Blowers are great! However, they make more heat. The big deal about the new ZR-1 is that GM conquered the heat issue. Or we hope so.

What kind of steering wheel is that in the Z06?

PA Z06 · 06-16-2008, 03:40 PM

pretty cool, that stoptech vette has been in so many different speed contests.

The other episodes were pretty good too!

MUKAK · 06-19-2008, 08:42 PM

this really sucks for the Porsche "factory" race car.... can even beat a GM modded "street" car....

what a shame....

u guys should post this on the porsche forums to see what excuses they will have

and i dont know where they got a MAGGIED vette pushing 600+ rwhp... more like 525 me think

there is Vette on this board that will kill that Factory porsche....

Quick Somebody Get That Narrator A Glass Of Water!!!!!!

I owned a 911 years ago and did some track events in it, so I REALLY enjoyed seeing the street Z06 kick its ass. I can tell you from experience they are not an easy car to drive fast with that engine hanging out the back and take a lot of mods to make them neutral.
