Default Taking my 07z to the track

Since the day I bought my 07 Z, my boss has been wanting to race. He drives a 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad cab. The Corvette Club is having a track day at our Rocky Mountain Raceway and has invited us along. Now we can finally have a safe head to head matchup. How do you see this ending? My Z is a stock 6mt and his SRT-10 is a stock automatic.

I wouldn't expect this one to even be close on a drag strip or on a track. The quad cab auto srt10 weighs 5600 lbs. I'm confident the 07 Z can outhandle the srt10's .83 g and 14.2 quarter mile time. Good luck.

+1 saw a supercharged SRT-10 running 13.00's, so a stock SRT should not be a match for your 07, that is unless you totally suck at driving.

Quad cab with auto is the slowest SRT-10 truck. I'm sure you'll be fine.

haha of course I want to! We are very close and actually hang out (lunch, golfing, etc) quite often. I dont think my beating him will hurt my job. I will definately post up my results when it happens. Track day is scheduled for august 9th

It will be a fun race and that see4ms to be the important part.
If he has any mods especially slicks, or DR's you may be in a bit of trouble...

Have fun though!

he doesnt have slicks or anything and he hardly has mods. He has done "exhaust" and "intake". I put those in quotes for a reason......for his exhaust, he simply changed to a "high performance muffler." and for his intake, he took off his stock box and threw a $30 filter on. Thats all.
