Who cares. The guy was probably more concerned about his elapsed time and taking his time to get the launch right.

Doesn't surprise me at all, nice to see what a car like that can do when it has the benefit of traction.

So lemme get this straight. The GT500 gets this badass, DOHC, 4 valve, supercharged, intercooled, motor. The consortium over there with Evolution Motorsports, spends unkown dollars and hours, dyno tuning and track testing, and modding the heck out of it - and FINALLY get that 2 ton...erm...ponycar into the high 10's.

So this other guy simply drives up with his Z06, bolts up slicks to his bone stock, pushrod, normally aspirated smallblock....and does high 10's, as well.


Hmmmm....

Get it straight, they're not slicks, they're drag radials!

There is no way in hell MIR is 800 feet above sea level. It is within 5 minutes of the Wicomico River, and 10 minutes if the Potomac. I am willing to beet there is no place in this county that is 800 fet above sea level since it is a penninsula.


Thats my home track..been there with the GTO already

Thats a very time time. I'm impressed with the 60ft and the 1/8 mile ET and speed 102mph yikes thats moving! What more can be said about 129mph trap speed. When you can get out of the hole like that and then let the car pull itself to a swift ET there is nothing likt it. Congrats!

I was wondering how long it was gonna take for the stock Z06's once the cool fall air hit . Thats awesome to hear . As intrusive as the torque management schedule is in the Z06 pcm ...congrats to Ranger , that pass took some major discipline and driving skill .

Almost a buck thirty ....can u imagine how fast these cars would be with simply removing the torque management from the PCM

Just proves that as any smart person knows.. vehicle weight doesn't have any bearing on performance </end scrcasm>

How right you are my friend. Excess weight can very easily be overcome, by just adding more power. [/sarcasm]

Yep.
That car can only be driven to the bank...
While the Z06 can be driven into the 10's.
