Im sick of 1/4 races , where tracion, driver error etc will always play a facotor. Roll racing cuts out all of that BS out, and lets the cars do the racing.

I also would think a c6z would be faster than a c7. the c7 forum guys seem arrogant and very sensitive what you say about the c7, and the red c7 guy is there chosen one.

You would think these C7 guys are in a Ford VS Chevy battle or something. No respect for other gen corvettes. They must feel the need to justify the money spent, or just need to feel superior somehow.

C7 is sweet... For the base car, I like it! For me though, I prefer the C7Z, and not for a while. My C6Z is fast and handles great. No need to change things up. Not for a few more years.

These guys think anything not C7 is "obsolete" as one of them put it. These new to corvette buyers need to embrace the culture offered by the corvette community, and act a little more decent towards everyone.

Good vid, thanks for posting. I think that's the first vid I've seen with the C6Z vs C7 racing.

Well, for those new to this forum - it has always been like that in here. A new shiny penny comes out, then those with the shiny penny think they can just take down the older nikcle.

I too think the new C7Z (the shiny nickle) will put a hurtin' on the C6Z...even if the C6Z is lightly modified.

Remember, it took a heavier than usual modified C5Z to take down a stock C6Z - I believe the same will apply once the C7Z hit the streets.

Yes pretty much.

I'd like to run a C7Z in my heads/cam C6Z. Should be a good run I think. Whoever picks up a C7Z in NorCal, send me a message

Gotta get it done before I too end up in a C7Z eventually lol.

I think if you could take a ZR1 (a heads/cam C6Z should) you could take a C7Z.

Yep buddy - you've been around for a while, so you know what I'm talking about.

I'm with you man - the modded C6Z vs. stock C7Z should be interesting IF the new car makes the kind the power we think it will and IF they don't make it into a pork like in the case of the C6ZR1. Remember, the ZR1 is heavy (compared to the Z06) and it gets heat soaked fast when racing back and forth thus advantage goes to modded C6Z.

Thanks,
Carlos

Really, what is up with the C7 owners? Sense of entitlement maybe? That part of the forum is a blast to read when bored.

Just like when the C6 came out....the C5Z was still quicker. Now the C6Z is quicker than the C7....until the C7Z comes out.

I've never ran a ZR1. Being that I out power it, and I weigh less, I don't see myself having a problem with them though.

Thing about a C7Z (or ZR1), is all it will take is exhaust, pully, and a tune. Should give them a good bit more power then I am making if they respond like the ZR1's do.

I'm just shy of 600 RWHP.

I thought the c7 specs were pretty disappointing actually. Seemed like a setback in favor of improved emissions.

Besides, the tail lights = Camero

To C7 is as fast as C6Z you say?

LOL, your opinion does not matter Drew.. You're now driving the new C4. You are not worthy to grace their haloed C7 space.
