I assume maybe he took your missed shift as the win he reported.

No doubt the Z06 is a monster, at all. It would take a Z a large amount of work to fight with one, a whole lot more whp and tq then the Z06 needs to do the job. Which dollar per performance is a lot of money to make that Z compete at all. Speaking of, you had an 04 SRT 10? Those were the newer style ones right? A friend of a buddy has an 05 or 06 SRT10 Viper which year I can't remember and has beaten a couple of C6 Z06's and a couple of exotics. Was wondering then why you switched out for the Z06? Just overall more power or does it get the power down to the ground more handily, since that Viper came stock with beefy 300+ series tires.
I didn't miss a shift, I put the car in the wrong gear. We went from a 65/70 and I put it in third gear instead of second intentionaly to give the guy a chance and see what would happen. He pulled on me a bit until my rpms started climbing up, and just as I was about to pass he shut down..lol. It's all good.

I got out of the Viper and into the Z06 because the Z06 is a much better overall car, and not to mention it is quicker/faster too than the 03-06 Vipers..
