Took The Z06 To The Track Last Night

Yeah thats the car I was referring to.

Yeah, I have headers, cold air and a thermostat. I also have an HP Tuners setup, but I haven't had time to finish up the LM-1 install to do any actual tuning, so it's still using the crappy timing/fueling maps. BTW, the '07 Z06's are typically down 10-15RWHP over the '06's because of the stock tune. The battery in the laptop crapped out on me in the staging lanes, so much for data logging. Nearly 126mph on a bad air night with stock tuning, that's not bad at all.

Several people have run 11.20's with stock cars on stock tires on perfect air days with great track prep. Typically high 11's is more of the norm with a crappy track prep. Those of you know me, you know I've logged hundreds upon hundreds of passes at the track on the street. Last night was by far the slickest track I've ever been on, bar none.

I didn't click on the link, but you're probably talking about Ranger's 10.8x @ 130 pass with a stock car '06 Z06 on drag radials after over 50 passes. That was a perfect launch, perfect weather (negative DA), perfect track prep, perfect alignment of the stars and a tailwind. His other passes from that same day were all in the low 11's, the 10 second pass was a one hit wonder that's never been backed up. Don't get me wrong, it's fast and he deserves to be known for it, but it wasn't run on a wet track in deep South Texas in the summer. Apples to oranges.

Like I said before, for pulling a tire smoking 1.97 sixty foot, I'm still happy with an 11.50 for the time being. Is that the best it can do? Noway, this is just the third pass.



Oh yeah, I forgot to mention....

Last Saturday I beat an '04 Cobra with full bolt-ons and a Kenne Bell, I mean beat him baaaad... I also smoked an '07 'Busa from a dig at the same time. Yes, it was a 'Busa and no, he couldn't ride it, but a win is a win and I'll take all I can get. Being quick on the street is a bunch different than being quick at the track.

So far the list is up to...

1 Red Supra with a large single - from a roll - bad
1 Black Supra with a large single - roll & dig - bad, bad
1 94 Z28 with a built small block - roll & dig - bad
1 Built Lightning - roll - very bad
1 '04 Kenne Bell Cobra - dig - very bad
1 '07 Busa - dig - bad

All got spaaaanked by the Z06, so it's doing something right.

How can anyone not love that ass?

Good times though man, I've always like c6's. Get a couple more bolt on's on that thing and she'll be a beast

Agreed.

The first set of iForged wheels I bought didn't clear my rear calipers, so I ordered a brand new set of chrome iForged Classics in 19x10 & 19x13. They should be here in 2-4 weeks.

Black Z06 + big ass chrome wheels = sick

That's a good problem to have ;)

I must say I like the black powder coat better though, but to each his own, chrome is still teh shiz!
