a 30 pull and the WS6 by half a length
a 40 pull and the 370z should win, the way the ws6 is geared 40-55 is a weird power zone to downshift into

Personal experience? Have you owned a LS1/T56 car? I never found that it had a dead zone. At no speed could I tell a difference. If a car beat me (rare), it beat me at any speed. If I beat it, nothing was going to save it except me blowing the launch. The automatics had a dead-zone, and I used to have an auto LT1. It was horrible.

6-speed or auto Ws6?

Sounds like how the 2 cars felt comparatively when I test-drove the Z.

What kind of exhaust are we talking on the WS6?

Good race. The WS6/SS/Z28/Trans Am all run the same times at the track. The only *real* difference anyone can claim is that the SS/WS6 automatics get the 3.23 rear-end standard instead of optional. They all make 350 horsepower, same as the C5 corvette of equivalent year. The 305/325/etc. is just marketing.

Again, this goes to prove what I thought all along about Torque. If you can drive and are geared properly, it really doesn't matter.
