i really dont understand why you and vicious are so threatened by this thread. i know several Z owners and they dont act like this. you both should re-read this thread, the original poster was not trying to talk down to Z owners he simply stated an isolated experience. actually, he repeatedly stated how much faster and better Z's are in comparison to his truck. if you are a car lover you should be able to respect a 16 year old truck that can run anywhere near your modern Z's.

 

Threatened? For the record I don't have a Z.... but the point is he beat the driver, not the car. And for him to continually state how he would smoke me, this and that.

I can run with a 750 sport bike... why would I bother with an S10? seriously.

 

Cool truck(s). Did you know a z06 beat a 997 Gt3 on the track?

 

Perhaps you should re-read the thread title>>>>My 16 yr old stock truck that gives C6 Z06's fits...

Now, if the title would have said "My 16 year old truck that gives 911 GT2's fits"....who do you think would have chimed in? ding ding ding...yes, 911 GT2 owners.

I'm not theatened in the least by a 16 year old p/u. I think its just outlandish to compare it to a modern day performance car. Now, If the OP just wanted to showcase his p/u (and well he should...it looks like a nice truck) he would not have said what he said in the title. All that does is solicit the responses that have been posted.

I'm done with this idiocy. I have a guy in a 1932 panel truck that wants to race me from my mailbox to my neighbor's mailbox.

 

well, maybe because i dont own one i didnt take it as an affront to Z owners. i can see where you are coming from.

 

It's fine man. Perhaps us Z owners jump too quickly to debate stuff like this too. I guess it may be because everyone seems to compare their (XXXXX insert car type here XXXXX) to the Z06 these days. I'm a car guy and do appreciate all types of vehicles regardless of badge on the hood. I'm also one that doesn't think the Z06 is the "worlds best car" like some Z owners do.

Cheers.

 

You drag race on public streets. You're cool.

 

 

You own a bunch of high performance cars and you are saying you've never one time opened one up on a public road? Your a liar if you say you havn't.

 

Thanks for your input, come back when you have something valuable to add.

BTW, I designed the half-shafts and driveshaft on your ML350. I also set up the manufacturing processes to produce them.

 

LOL, it's not like I went out and looked for a Z06 to race. I've worked on the fuel systems design/manufacturing on the C6Z06 (and the next gen) and know very well what they are capable of. I was very surprised at how well my truck did when matched up against one from a stoplight on a normal street and came on here to post it.

My final point being:

On the street, stock vs. stock, there is virtually no difference between these two vehicles in acceleration from zero to any posted speed limit (outside of Germany).

 

Guys... how about we try and not attack one another, and keep this thread on topic without all the childish responses.

 

Read TTony's original post: "At least stoplight to stoplight... "

Yes, I drive fast on the highways, but I don't drag race from "stoplight to stoplight" which would imply racing on on arterial roads. The former is having fun at a reasonable level of risk, the latter is stupidity.

 

That is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on an automotive bulletin board. Wow.

 

Hey TTony. Nice Cyclone. Post some pics on the prime.
