There is a troll on the VCA forum that I have tried (unsuccessfully) to convince that we have many stock or near stock Z06's running low 12's, and even a few running high 11's. He claims to have never seen a stock Z06 run better than a 12.5. He never posts his times, I believe he is a keyboard racer, and I know he has with a crap attitude.
Look at the Z06 vs Viper video thread in their racing section, scroll through it and challenge this troll Russ - and win or lose prove what our cars are capable of? I tire of the debate with Russ, so just let me know the outcome, I don;t plan to visit the thread.
Later, and good luck!
Les

Don't tell him what I run, just that you know guy who likes to race in SoCal with a stock engined Z06, lowered, with appearance mods that wants to give him a shot at the track of his choice. Irwindale would be good. So would Carlsbad.
Their board requires me to be "approved". At least a few of their members know me. So don't use "McRat", just say you think the guys name is Pat and his wife might want run him also.
BTW - the same thing happened 2 years ago on our Camaro board. A guy came on with a Viper saying that a stock engined Camaro CANNOT beat a Viper. We trashed talked back and forth, and 20 of us went to Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield. The Viper guy DID SHOW!!!
We both did a couple of test passes, then I caught him in lanes, and lined up on him...

BTW, here is the post I just made on the VCA forum:
Quote: JohnC: First, Don't lump all Viper guys in with Russ, most aren't like him. Some Vette owners are socially retarded as well, we don't like to be compared to them either
Russ: I have someone with a Z06 in so cal who will meet you at Carlisbad Raceway any time. He has a few minor bolt-on's, no engine work at all, no more mods than you have on the Viper. His name is Pat, and he has accepted the challemge to school you on what a Z06 can do. After he is finished his wife says she can beat your big bad Viper as well, so you have (so far) two who have accepted the challenge. There may be more, Sunday is a slow day on the forums.
As soon as I have Pat's permission to post his email address I will post it here and leave the thread as promised. Pat will post the results, assuming you have the stones to show up.

My mod list:
Aftermarket muffler, stock cats and manifold in place. 6hp increase.
Top of aircleaner removed
Tuned for running in summer heat
DOT-legal street tires.
Red Fuzzy Dice on mirror - 100hp increase using G-Tech.
Carlsbad is good, will video tape it, win or lose.
Here is the post from Pat (and his wife). He accepts the challenge and has listed his mods. His email is included, you two agree a time and place and Pat will video the event for ALL to see. More may accept the challenge, so I will have Pat let the Vette forums know so that we can have more "samples".

So there it is Russ, you have been talking a lot about how fast you are and how slow we are. Time to walk the walk. Play safe, but make sure you are on your "A" game, even racing a lowly near stock Z
Hey Les, ask this guy if he wants to race on topside from 70 on up to whatever on some deserted highway, late at night...I will video it and post results regardless of the outcome...I am confident I will pull him on top with my 2 boltons...He can e-mail me @ irvine1620@aol.com
