Oh sorry, the Z06s were C5s, not C6s. I didn't see all of the runs, so there may have been some quicker passes too. They were modified Corvettes. Here's a video of one racing a 600 HP Stage 4 996tt.

The C6 Z06 is a wonderful car and may run good times on certain tracks under certain conditions, which would typically be a cold day near sea level on drag radials with 4000 rpm clutch dump. That type of performance just wasn't going to happen the day we were there with a good 20 - 30 mhp head wind at 1250 ft and 80F+ track temps.

Here's an elevation temp correction page if you wanted to put the times into perspective, but that wouldn't include a head wind. It's all relative.
