Not for nothing, but it sounded like the Z06 bogged off the line every time. He seemed to be flummoxed by the LHD setup as well. I'm not normally an apologist, but I think this would be a closer race with better drivers.

Even with a perfect launch from the Z06 the race wouldn't have been close based on the video's. The way the GT2 pulls away from the Z06 with both cars WOT clearly shows who the faster car is.

um..perfect launch the Z06 would eat the GT2. the guy couldn't shift gears for the life of him. That car needs a stage 5 driver mod.

Sam, I'm curious as to whether you even watched the video. You can clearly see the GT2 pulling away at WOT in every gear. Launch and shift timings require skill for that initial lead, but being in WOT doesn't. After 100mph and the shift from 5th to 6th gear, the GT2 just simply rolls away.
