Take this as constructive ....but the cool idea to build speed into the video with the early on bouncing was just a little too much...
With that said..the video was awesome...
I just have one question? Were the races staged? I didn't realize a C5 Z06 would take on such formidable (sp) exotica to the degree that it did....so be totally honest....
Did they let you win each and every time? (or did you delete the races you didn't win?) Pls don't take offense but it seemed as though you won against some very heady competition....Really a great video either way.
Great driving btw and really appreciate your efforts to bring this to the sight so we could all view it.

ok..here's the deal
360/CS - i race and kill 360's every weekend. also the challenge stradales. I love those cars more than anything mind you. but against them they were fully 100% into it.
911 turbo S - I've raced him several times as well. sometimes i win and sometimes he does. We have also driven each others cars at great length. We both agree our cars are dead even.
gallardo - the first pull was all out from 50 to 150. he was completely into it. the second run i'm not 100% sure. He got on it for sure but i think he may not have stayed 100% into it for long at all. but the first run was fully legit. i was kinda shocked how badly i beat the gallardo. but then i looked up what it traps and it's times....and it's not close to my numbers. also when we were in vegas my buddy ran his stradale to 185 against another friends gallardo. the stradale...which i kill...won the race.
diablo - we were neck and neck and he was fully into it. he let off when i began to really put cars on him. i'm sure once i hit 5th he would have murdered me if he stayed in it.
these are common results to me.....i generally don't get pulls with a camera guy in my passenger seat.
our cars really are that fast.
but i would trade in a half a heartbeat for the much slower 360 modena

Nice video! I'm with RC45 though. I'd love to see and hear some raw footage without the music and some of the shaking effects.
Trust fund kids? There's some pretty young guys driving some pretty seriously expensive cars. Some of these guys should watch it a bit with the stickers though. It's bad enough when someone throws stickers all over a Civic.
There's no denying that the Z06 is fast. It's just that the other cars in the group get there in a different way. I'd love to have a 360CS or a F430. IMO, Ferrari fixed some of the niggles that I had with the 360 and probably made it close to being the perfect car. I'm not positive, but I don't think that you could keep up with an F430 unless you do a few more mods to your car.

The vid will stay how it is..sorry. I don't care where any of them got their money. Some made money..some came from money...that's not what's important. 90% of them are great people. The stickers are awesome. I'm sorry you don't agree. Honda stickers are stupid. When when you take a challange stradale and make it look like a 360 challenge car..that's awesome. And when you take a 360..gut it...put one race seat in..put a rollbar in it..and put meatballs (the big round stickers with the numbers from the old lemans cars)...that's awesome.
I think exhaust plates are as gay as they come...most people here dont. doesn't really matter one way or the other.
i know...it's what he wanted to try. he was in 4th too.
That doesnt prove much though. Your races, real races, is where the proof is at, and it seemd like you had him by 1/2 car...
I am still speechless in terms of the Diablo. I thought a Diablo would beat up on a 390 rwhp Z. I guess not.
And I just saw a video of a 500 rwhp Cobra getting spanked by a tubi G-car (Spanked as in by 5+ cars). So, after seeing your vids, I can safely assume that the Cobra guy was clueless and should not have lost to that Gallardo.
