You Wont Believe What This Guy Is Claiming To Run With A Stock Z.....
i came across this site the other day from this guy in cali. hes in a club over there. anyway, i went to the part of his site that talked about him drag racing when he first got the car and as he modded it.
well, he claims, that his 97 Z28 CONVERTABLE M6 that he bought brand new in 96, ran a 13.7 @ 111 two months after he bought it. have you EVER heard of a stock LT1 trapping 110+. NO SIR! LS1s dont even trap that stock. and this guy has a convt!!! the only convertable ive ever seen at the track was a 95 A4, which was bone stock and ran low15s/ high 14s at around 97-99 all night. i fail to see how 10 more acclaimed hp and 2yrs is going make up for that much difference??
what do you think??

I agree...
My '95 z wiht just a flowmaster and eibach pro kit springs ran a 13.9 @ 101 on street tires. I thought that was BADASS. There is no way that he trapped 111 with a stock '97 convertable.

High 14's low 15's That has to have alot to do with the driver . Even when my 95 convert was bone stock I was running 14.2 @ 98 mph . But to answer you're question I've never seen a convertible nor a hard top trap 111mph being bone stock .

I agree, its . My car bone stock went 14.0x-14.1x @99-100. But you have to remember there are all types out there. If a leaf blew across the beams and gave him that time on his slip... then you know just as well as I do that the car HAD to actualy run that time
.
You know my car ran a 9.18 @ 265 this past summer... The funny thing is that I was just past the 1/8 when I saw the time on the board
. So it has to be true... I saw it with my own eyes The only thing that really sux is that I unfortunatly broke out on that run by just a little bit, LOL.

I've seen a chic in a Z28 do that once but there was no time on the scoreboard.

We all know that is
Just to mess with the guy I would tell him he can't drive. I would say I am not supprised he ran 111 MPH but his ET should have been in the low 12's.
You'd be supprised how quick people change their story when you go along with the BS and blame them personally for the other numbers that don't match.
