Looks like homeboy in the Zo6 needs some driving lessons.

Wow! the most important mod in any car is the driver!
But I will tell you this that ISF driver had a perfect launch was shifting perfectly. Damn that ISF sounds good all you heard was ISF all the way through the Run. That ISF is definitely modded, was that Z06 or normal C7.

From reading the comments, the F is on drag radials... definitely helps on the launch! Hard to catch up when the F had a perfect launch and the z06 was spinning. But the z06 should have been catching up on the top end for sure though.
Also, definitely sounds like a FBO IS-F, lol.

Funny this was posted. Just a short time ago tonight I had a fun encounter with a newer Audi at a light. No idea what type, but it was one of those with the Supercharged badge on the sides. Incredible feeling when the F just starts to accelerate even faster as it approaches triple digits

Amazing run. A good driver that knows his car makes one hell of a difference.

That isf is no joke. No reason to come up with excuses for the Vette. A win is a win. I've seen that isf beat up on some other big hp cars.

a C7 Z06 has 650 hp stock so even if we are being generous and assuming a fbo ISF is making 500 crank hp, you are still talking 150 hp advantage for the vette

That said, from a dig on the street anything can happen, all the ISF needs is a little tire spin from the vette and its gone. It can sometimes work to your advantage to have a less powerful car that will put the power down from a dead stop on the street. I know from experience any of my higher HP cars would do nothing but spin spin spin til 60 mph or so

This is all too true. My ISF isn’t near as powerful as some of the other cars I’ve owned, but it’s way more able to put the power down, making it the quickest car I’ve owned by far. Adding some DR’s to the equation makes the result of this race easier to understand.

Ain't that the truth!! ^^^^ AWD can't fault that for putting high HP down efficiently. The GTR is the poster boy for that example
