My friends new Z06 with a tune and intake.
1st through 3rd gears and I beat him by 1 1/2 - 2 cars(roll ons)

What did you drive? IMO if everything is equal even a slightly modded C6Z06 shouldnt walk a FGT.
Last fall I tested 2 of my cars: a stock '07 Z06 and a stock '05 GT in 1st, 2nd and 3rd from 2000 and 3000 rpm in each gear. No shifting, no driver skill, just the cars accelerating through a gear. My seat-of-the-pants feeling was the cars would be very similar in 1st and 2nd but the GT would be noticeably stronger in 3rd gear. 1st gear was essentially equal with a slight edge to the Z06. 2nd gear was a modest advantage for the Z06, 3rd gear was a more obvious advantage for the Z06. Although this surprised me and the friend who was driving the GT, it doesn't mean anything other than this particular Z06 was faster than that particular GT, because neither of these cars has had a similar acceleration test against anything else. However; that GT is having a baseline dyno and custom tune this coming weekend. so it will be interesting to see what kind of power it was making from the fractory tune and what it lays down with a custom tune.
The tune is being done by Jerry W. - the founder of SCT, on a dyno jet at a Ford Dealer in Atlanta where the GT Guys will be doing some mods June 2-3.
Why don't you come to Atlanta next weekend. There's probably still time to order the performance mod parts, or just come for the custom tune.
