cant really agree with you there.
greddy tt, osg clutch, greddy exhaust. fuel pump and injectors. reflash. volks and re11's.
have yet to run into a vette that can pull away. there was one decently modified c6 z06 that seemed dead even from many pulls. but a stock one doesnt stand a chance.
there is nothing about the vette that gives it much a traction advantage at all... the transmission is mounted a couple feet back, thats it. Otherwise its all in setup. Most 370z owners will have insanely stiff coilovers at the very least, limiting weight transfer to almost nothing. most of them will use those coilovers to slam the car to the ground and have far too much negative camber and ride on half the tire.
but if setup correctly and using some good 305 or 335 tires, i cant imagine anything about a modern corvette that is going to give it any more traction for the power.
and if we are just talking about taking down a base model vette with typical bolt ons... thats not even a challenge for a TT'd 370z... i imagine i could turn off the boost controller and run my wastegate springs 5.5psi and have no trouble with one of those. the only stock or bolt on vette that is going to beat up on a TT 370z is a ZR1
