A friend of my brothers was driving down US27(4 lane) between Ft. Wayne & Decatur. Sees a Vette pull out on the highway laying all kinds of rubber, loses it & tags a pole. Out of the car comes J. Lingenfelter hisself. Seems like those Vettes are a little squirrelly.

 

umm.. john ligenfelter died....

 

Yeah, like 4 years ago

 

LOL. That might work.
I would start dieting, wear only shorts and a half shirt, and take out the seats, insulation, cut your hair....

 

and while you're at it, take a big crap before you race. should be good for another 2 lbs of weight reduction.

 

Yeah, ligenfelters ghost hangs out up that way. R.I.P. Dec. 25, 2003

BTW, the C6 Z06 will run mid 11s all day, dude dont have a chance.

 

mid 11's all day with a great driver who knows what they are doing.. check out times guys are getting on the corvette forums.. pulling low 12's stock - with radials and exhuast they are getting into the mid to low 11's -

i think the record for stock on corvetteforum was an 11.7 run.

now take into account kid with no experience at A) track or B) rear wheel drive cars, nevermind ones with that much power.. i think i stand a pretty good chance with spray and slicks.

 

Make sure you get it on film. There probably wont be many videos on the net of an LT1 spanking a Z06. I personally think you have a pretty good chance.

Did you see Ray Charles in the Passenger seat with him?

 

lmfao

 

Ol' Johnny is/was a God up in these parts. I got to hang out with him shortly before he died during a GMHTP photo shoot for the new (well it was then) magnacharged C5 he built. He took us to his "lair" out in the country where he kept all his toys, I think I'm still drooling over what I saw in there. Anyway, he took out his 10 sec. twin turbo LS1 Sonoma and tore up the streets of Decatur with it, this was in the middle of the day too with people everywhere. lol That guy was one of the coolest people I ever met, I can't believe he's gone. While we were touring his shop, he pointed out that pos cavalier that ultimately took his life. They were just finishing up the cage in it. I should've burned the mf'er to the ground.

 

I Ran 11.84 in my 02' Z06. Stock F1SC's, MTI intake and everything else stock. Guys (who CAN drive) have been as quick as 11.7's with the C5 Z06s...

Now fast forward to the C6... stronger car everywhere... a tad lighter and it pulls through another 400 rpm. It's a tougher car to launch but I'm expecting mid 11's or better with some practice this summer.

Nitrous is your friend.

I also reccomend gears, DR's, and a 150 or up shot.
Launch hard (5,000+rpms), tag a good 60 foot, and you should have him. Post back and let us know.

 

That sounds about right... I've seen the new Z06 go 11.30 with only an air filter change & of course an excellent driver. Lots of potential there... with a crappy driver it might only go 12's though

 

Can you adopt me? Please? I wipe my own ***!!
