This was touched on in the C7 thread (which then spawned another page or so of comments) but its worth making its own thread on.

Drag Strip Tested – C7 Z06 vs. Viper vs. Hellcat vs. ZR1 | Nine Ball Garage

Doing burnouts, hammering the throttle, and banging gears. It doesn’t get more American than this. We assembled a group of American badasses, and rented out Lonestar Motorsports Park, in Sealy, TX for the day. We were also blessed by cold low-50F, dense air, and dry conditions. The resulting density altitude was -1050 ft, when the best passes were made. We also had a nice tail wind, which felt miserable to stand in. It had been raining at the track for the last week, which managed to wash away most of the sticky prep and rubber from the track surface. The crew did their best to prep the track, but the cold surface temperatures made the effort difficult. This made traction a real challenge, on regular street tires. The resulting ET’s suffered, but most cars were able to put down consistent trap speeds all afternoon.

This kind of puts the whole C6 Z06 is faster than the C7 Z06 thing to bed, eh? (purely looking at comparative trap speeds)


A lot of C6Z's run faster than the C6 ZR1s because of traction issues. Let me get some data....

***EDIT***

I was wrong. See below:
