I believe you would have lost by a lot more if he had those mods or he really is a terrible driver. A C6 Z06 has better gearing, is more aerodynamic, LIGHTER, and actually makes more power than a maxxed out N54 all while being bone stock. Tell me again how you were thinking it was going to be a close race even if it was stock.

I tried to save you some money...

I've got a question.

I don't know much about Corvette's at all, they don't make it over here but you all speak highly of them. I've seen some videos of FBO 335i/135i vs Lamborghini Gallardo's and FBO N54 usually draws even or pulls, so, are these video's cr@p or is a Z06 in supercar class?

Where are these videos? The only video that I seem to recollect at the moment of a 335i pulling a Gallardo is one that has meth, upgraded RB turbos etc.

Here is a Gallardo vs a bone stock c6 z06:

Stock they run low to mid 12s and I figure with my mods I am good for at least low 12s possibly high 11s

I'm already debadged. I guess i'll have to start telling people it's a 128 with NOS.

No, they don't.

They run mid 11's on stock tires with a decent driver and have dipped into high 10's with drag radials. I know I can back up my low 12 second runs and know very well that I can't keep up with a stock z06.

Z06 looks quick, so why do I hear so many people hating on them or their drivers in general?

Search YouTube for vids, 335i vs Gallardo. There's a few other than the RB'd grey one you're thinking of, a white one too from memory and also vishnu's white 135i.

Oh yeah I remember that Vishnu vid, then again I don't really trust Vishnu so there goes that lol.

Z06 gets hated on because its an American car that has supercar performance for a bargain price.

Probably because their drivers are generally douche bags...Like the guy I happened to run

FYI that first race in the vid was about how much it pulled me by. Guess it's time to look for a Gallardo to race

stereotypical vette drivers think their car is gods gift to earth, slap chrome nonsense all over it, drive like jackasses, etc. Of course there are tons of proper corvette enthusiats out there, its a minority that gives them all a bad name..then again there are plentyyyy of bmw drivers who i want to push off a cliff in their m3 badged 323i lol. and theres no denying z06s and r1s can absolutely fly.

base model vettes run low 12s stock...Z06's are nasty, and cheap to modify...and an intake and tune puts them closer to 460-470whp than 530whp, so that part was stretching the truth either way, he probably could have pulled you much harder if he had been in 1st, which he probably wasnt

a Z06 will spin on 1st at 40mph.
530whp means cam.
intake and tune will only yield 470-480 as stated earlier.

I'd like to see the C6 try to beat a 135i in a TRACK race, not just a drag. C6 would be murdered on the corners...murdered

I have had and tracked both cars. Your comment is completely false. Stock for stock the c6 will outperform a 135i in pretty much all categories.

You said it for me, they run 10's STOCK. Never, EVER run a z06 for money in any N54 car, any BMW for that matter. They are disgustingly fast. Track, drag strip, just don't f*ck with them. It is amazing to me how uneducated some people are about this car. And before anyone calls them simple, they have magnesium engine cradles, a fiberglass body, cf fenders, the list goes on. They are amazing cars.
