You musta mis-read my post. I said I catch them in the corners... once we reach a straight, i don't see them again till the next time they lap me! I have about 1/3 the power/wt ratio of a Z06. Most likely this is a case of old farts buying muscle cars to feel young again and not having the jubblies to brake late and throw their brand new $60k car into a corner with some gusto. I never said I was faster than a Z06, just that i have always caught every corvette i've ever tracked with in the corners. (btw, i don't race roundy-rounds, I stick to real race tracks with turns that go both ways, sometimes in second gear after a long straight)
