Cool vid.

You just never know about those Lightnings...some of them are crazy fast.

That guy in the corvette needs some work on his car... That lighting was on his ass...feel bad for a guy in a corvette that spent 60k on his zo6 and a lighting hangs with him unitl 3rd gear....

modded lightnings can be fast as hell torque up the ying yang.

My Barber runs 12.8 in his lightning. He has a pulley upgrade and chip and a few other gizmo's. They also grab pretty well for a truck. He runs nitto DR's and cut's 1.8 60ft's. The z06 on the other hand can be very hard to launch if you disable it's traction control.

vette got a horible luanch once he actually goes WOT at the top of 2nd as you can hear, he puts some distance on him

I wonder what those guys run in the 1/4?

You are so misinformed. I spent less than $45k on mine and have you seen what some of the modded Lightnings can do?

CANTONRACER · 08-18-2004, 08:36 AM

I have seen what some of the modded Lightnings can do...I got $700 in mine and it runs times in sig on stock F1's...nothing special.

I have only seen two Z06's at the track...both ran high 12's@111-113 mph...I think they were lemons. The only place I have seen them run faster is on the internet...I have also seen a few dyno being that I work part time at a dyno shop. 360-370 rwhp...which is not to shabby.

Nice vids, me likey

Don't get me wrong, but I give a lightning more respect than a corvette...Corvette is fast, but compare the price between them...better deal from that truck that runs with the vette for a lot less

Omegalock · 08-21-2004, 10:18 AM

That Lightning isn't going to be able to run around a track like the Vette can though.

I love the Lightning but saying the Z06 isn't a killer deal for the price is nuts.

A Z06 is good for what it is but 99.9% of people out there buy cars because they're fast in a straight line. Its only a small amount of people out there who care about what their car/truck can do on a autox course

z06boy · 08-23-2004, 04:08 PM

If I only cared about a straight line I would have bought an 03' or newer Mustang Cobra...put just al ittle $$ in it and be done...BUT I like staight lines/curves/ and braking...which the Cobra or the Lightning can't do too well.
