No, it was the Z06 in 5th gear. I blew past him when he hit fifth during my second race last year just before we hit the finish line.

pretty sure we're discussing the race posted above and not something from last year. in this race while the z06's 6th gear is definitely worthless for acceleration, it's driver still let off early.

The race posted above was from last year. It wasn't done this year. Congaman didn't make the airfield event this year. He was too busy with work from what I heard.

The M5 started to gain before he let off.

aprox 1 month a go there was in the german magazin Sport auto a test 0-300-0


The cars, slr, murcielago lp640, gt2, z06, alpina b6s, m6 etc

0-200-300 z06 12,4, 44 sec
0-200-300 b6s 13,1, 41 sec
0-200-250 m6 13,8, 22,4 sec just to 250 as he was limited, but the 13,8 istn that good in this test.
0-200-300 gt2 11,4, 36,4 sec

you can clearly see how the z06 looses time up to 300kmh, b6s is noticable faster, and so probably the m6 as well. But as i said m6 was limited to 250kmh
