Stock ZR1? 1.524 60ft- 10.260@135.35mph Well the rumors are true. I made a solo run to MIR this morning. Last minute decision at 12am last night. I went down due to the air was great and wanted to get another run in before the mods start going on. I made 2 total runs partially due to they werent showing 60fts so I didnt know if it was a good 60ft or not to run out the run 
Well run number 20minutes after driving 3hours there. Aired the rear tires down to 17psi cool. Launch 5000+rpms. Car also had all my tools in the car cause I had no one to put them with Maybe 20lbs but its something LOL! Car also had just over 1/4tank of gas I like to have 1/8 or less on my best runs 
60ft-1.548
330ft-4.346
1/8mi-6.671
1/8mph-106.37
1000ft-8.664
1/4mi-10.345
1/4mph-134.30
Clutch hazed pretty good so I changed the clutch fluid, let the car sit cause it was pretty warm for the drive down. I went back up to the line for my 2nd run and ended up being the last
60ft-1.524
330ft-4.313
1/8mi-6.613
1/8mph-107.45
1000ft-8.591
1/4mi-10.260
1/4mph-135.35

A couple notes about the day run/car. I do not have side skirts still due to receiving 2 sets of flawed side skirts. The car has the clutch spring removed from the clutch pedal so the clutch is stiffer. I took the plastic shroud that sits around the supercharger off and put it in the back of the car. I also ate a Reeses pieces this morning with a Diet Dr.Pepper before racing. No other food was used for these runs partially cause I'm fat
Other notes: This was definitely not a optimal run. The shifts werent spot on, the launch was damn good but small room for improvement, the head wind doesnt help, the car having more fuel and tools in the car is minimul but its something when you are looking for every .01's. Other bummer is since I went to the track by myself I only have my gopro video and the pics of the car and slips. I also was hugged by 2 men after this run. One of them had a KB blue Mustang GT. We were all stoked and man hugs are important to have IMO. After this run I felt no need to fine tune the rest of the run. My wife had foot surgery yesterday so I sped home to be typing here with her

Very impressive sir!!!!
Question though, You say "stockish" .....
just curious as to what all is done to the car to get these numbers, like , exhaust , bolt ons and such.
Good work launching that beast by the way!

Stockish cause the anti fatigue clutch spring was removed and the side skirts have yet to be replaced. The car is stock with drag radials other wise

No joke. 
I'm super impressed with both the driver's skills and the car itself, incredible work Bruce and GM/Chevrolet.
The car is essentially a pure bone stock C6 ZR1 with drag radials on the back, no bolt ons, no tuning. 
Amazing.

Wow that is incredible Bruce! Your driving is downright stunning. The 1-2 and 2-3 are amazing. Great job! Yes I know the car is expensive but its great to see GM absolutely sticking it to the exotics for a fraction of the price.
