Thought I would share. I am assuming they are real Z06's.

The yellow car is not a C6 ZO6 it's the Breathless Performance C6 with a wide body kit and front vent. He's also spraying it. Ernie raced that car with us last week in the Corvette Challenge at Moroso.

The above info is correct. I was personally at Beech Bend watching the black z06 race. Look at my other post for more info. Best e.t. was 12.06x and best mph was 123.9x. About a 20-30mph head wind too, 49 degrees, and a slight drizzle. Also, the car is only using three gears because of its 7000rpm readline.

This person that ran the 12 must either not know how to drive or is not hooking up at all. I ran a best of 12.05 @ 113 with 20 degree cooler weather and at the time was only putting down 314 rwhp in my 02 Coupe.

....with a 6 speed and 3.42 gears and street tires (no drag radials or slicks)??? I agree, some better driving could be done for sure. Also, this motor probably didn't have many miles at all so it will loosen up a little bit for sure making for slightly quicker times.

Yep, I keep forgetting that I am using 4.10s and ET Streets so that helps tremendously.

so just imagine what you would run if you could trap 124 inthe 1/4??!! I would think that's good for mid/low 11's with a decent drag radial and a competent driver. That's moving!!!

trap speed looks good, now just for some seat time for those guys to get the car broke in and get the hang of launching. but it should see some great times with tires and a good launch. mid 11's are a good starting point for a stock car i guess
