They arent out yet. Notice that video says Beech Bend Raceway. Beech bend is in bowling green, KY, what else is in Bowling green?

And in that board, they are talking about BB not hooking up. I had the EXACT same experience there, scary trying to get traction. Fully heated nittos and I almost took out the wall comming out of the hole. I see High 10s and 127ish traps from that stock.

Now the Viper guys are justified in being scared.

That's wicked. Looks like they had to feather it coming out of the hole. Better tires (DRs) and that car will fly...especially with 400tq coming from way down at 2400rpm.

I agree Pasky, i don't like streetfire either... video hosting service that's slow as ****. Some of the videos on there look awsome, too bad you can't view any of them in decent quality.

So it looks like it's not as fast as the Ford GT as some said it would be, I've seen traps of 131-133 for it. Still nice times.

Re: New stock Z06 traps 124 VIDEO

How about buying a 98 vette for 19,000 and dropping 15,000-20,000 in a bad *** motor/tranny/rear combo. That would only leave you with 35,000 for gas and such, and you'd still be kicking that cars ****.

GMHTP got an 04 Z06 to run an 11.97 but the mph was only 118. also, the 04 was running in colder weather and was cutting high 1.9 - low 2.0 60 foots.

the C6 ran 6 mph faster in warmer weather and ETd basically the same while slipping and sliding.

Re: New stock Z06 traps 124 VIDEO

the 427 alone is $15,000.
And who wants a pathetic 346 anymore even if it's 'built' when anything it can do the 427 can do better.
Not to mention the rest of the car. Styling, brakes, suspension, etc

Re: New stock Z06 traps 124 VIDEO

I'd guess 11.6@125.6mph with a top speed of 194mph assuming the gear box has the same gears as the old one.

Or take a new Mustang GT, drop in $50,000 and waste the Z06 in every category. Silly argument.

Because you'll still have a '98 Vette. Silly argument.
