Either do a standing mile... or a flying mile, but this half-baked setup is a farce.
Agreed. Standing Mile would be the best way to go. If you can't get out the gate and hold your own from there, you're fucked. Besides, the Z06 has already been proven by a bigoted red-coat that it's capable of starting in 5th, reaching 175, and still have more to go before at end of the strip.

The SLR won't hang from a dead stop. I can promise you that.
Do you mean the SLR cannot hang with a ZO6 in a standing mile dead stop race??
No, that would be a good fight out of the gate, but i think once the SLR got over it's fluid coupling lag invoked by that POS torque converter the Z06 would have to slot in it's slip stream. I like the Z06, but i'm not a fanboy.

Compared to the others though, it's got nothing.
I wouldn't mind who won - but a flying mile or standing start are the only controlled tests.

A "70 or 80mph entry from a slip road" is just pointless.

And for Guiness World records to bother showing up does ntohing to lend credibility to the entire setup.

I should go set up a Guiness World record for fastest metal shopping cart from the front of the Main Street Woolworth to the houseware isle - with a 5mph rolling start out of the express lane....
