" I would say it should have the upper hand in a race yes "

" I hear what you're saying; all I can tell you is based on my experience at the track and on the street...there are outcomes that don't always add up. Sure sometimes people lie but I have definitely seen results where all parties were honest (cars background are known) and the results don't match the paper work. But IMO that's apart of racing "

" I believe without a track telling you the details (those things required for analysis) that a street race doesn't definitively tell you anything about every C6z vs a M5...I believe it showed you that on the street at this particular time, between these specific cars that the M5 was faster. You are choosing not to believe it

Again; seen Z's vary in trap widely even stock...don't see why it's hard to fathom a bottom-barrel Z could have taken on a stronger running M5...why is this impossible? "

" good luck figuring this out bro...there were no conditions affecting the Z other than the car itself; as at PBIR other Z's did manage to trap higher. I figured out bench racing was a way to disappoint and confuse yourself a long time ago...peak whp figures and weight doesn't tell someone an entire story lol

BTW: There are bolt on Z's that can't trap 128 lol so just goes to show you how much bench racing really matters. I guess they should lake the car since a stock C6z trapped higher? but the numbers? but weight? guess it didn't matter... "

" I don't see your logic...I've seen c6z's trap under 125 lol (as low as 120-121).. This is the part you are glossing over. You are taking the best results of the C6z and comparing it...what about everything in between? From the best trapping stock C6 to the least? You are assuming BEST CASE SCENARIOS and guess what? That's not always the case "

" Continue bench racing...I'm speaking french to you. These aren't camrys and italia 458's...they are two 11 second cars that trap anywhere from 120-125 (stock C6z's have trapped as low as 120-121)....aka comparable cars

If everything played out just based on magazine results and brochure figures what's the point of the track? That's right; most bench racers never make it to the track. Dyno chart racing is cool; but real world results don't always follow suit "

" continue pressing your mind over it...street races often don't play out like they do in the magazine. At the track you have no clue as to what either of those cars trap; you have figures from other cars from different areas. I've seen stock C6z go anywhere from 121-126; owners report traps that vary widely...what makes you think you have a grasp on exactly how these two cars are running from a random street racing video? Give me a break... "

" Go to the track...it never lies and provides something objective to go on. Street races aren't telling you anything other than how those specific cars fair against each other (not all cars of the same model) "

" It's only confusing if you bench race incessantly... When talking about cars with like less than 5 mph between them; this is an exercise in futility (aka a fucking wash). Guys are more concerned with brochure/magazine figures than anything else now; leads to safe racing and excessive bench racing (all bad things in the name of healthy competition). I'm glad the owners of the vehicles are just out doing the damn thing instead of debating though (thumbs up to them) "
