The white wall is actually soft barriers in front of armco, if you look as the corner continues you will see the concrete wall. Most people end up in the gravel trap, although I've seen one or two cars make it to the soft wall.

A pro built full race Z06 is one wicked machine.....no doubt!! Starting with over 500hp and 3100lbs is nice too..... Shoot stock Z06's on R comps are quite quick with the right driver!!!!

We have a 2009 Z06 prepped by Phoenix Performance and we both love it. Can't beat the power for the $$$ -- not to mention maintenance costs!

No problem! It was hard to figure out who was driving when as our lines are identical.

Our fastest top 4 guys in SCCA T1 racing in lowly C5Z06's with GM T1 race suspensions are running 28's at WSIR and 46's at ACS stock motors. I can't imagine what a built C6Z could do.
