A buddy just picked up his C63 - he wanted to have a few pulls against the Z06 - lotsa fun...

I would imagine that the SL65 is a much more appropriate competitor to the Z than the C63.

C'mon guys.....you really needed to look at the link to know the outcome. I witness, IN PERSON, I stock Z06 run 11.4 at E-town at 128. No Benz can touch those numbers...SLR..maybe??

I don't think that a SL65 could even keep up with a Z06, SLR yes.

Yes. Unless mods are mentioned, I assume a car is stock. But since you brought it up, I know several E55 guys with Rentech stage I,II,III that can barely run 11.5.....so the Z06 is in some pretty elite territory just being stock.

The Z06 is no doubt in elite territory just being stock, and when modded watch out!! The E55 isnt the king of the 1/4 for the Benzes these days. My non-AMG Mercedes has run a best of 10.98, no NOS.

That is a pretty impressive time. I don't think people realize how fast a 10.98 run is, especially for a heavy car like the 600.
