Its def a strong time... however it is still ran at Atco in lower DA. Thats about what i would expect from it to be honest. SRZs cammed G8 trapped 118.XX at atco. Trapped 114 at LVD.

Gotcha.. I know it's hard to compare times from other tracks is why I asked. Your 117 at MIR might have been a 120 on the same day at Atco when the C7 ran. Just DA corrected from 1200ft I ended up with 11.612 @ 118.712 MPH for your 93. Just food for thought I guess.

Guess I'll have to make a trip to Atco next spring and take advantage of the nitrous-oxide rich air. My car is probably a couple ticks faster than posted due to the fact that I hold back a little coming out of the hole. Just don't feel like breaking another rear.

That's funny. I just watched a guy at Sacramento Raceway run a 11.92@117 in his bone-stock silver C7 Auto. I even talked to the guy and everything. He looked to be in his 60s, said he had been drag racing for some time. The car even had the Kuni Chevrolet tag plate still on it. I know we don't get air out here like they do at Atco, so the times in the vid are extremely believable, at least for me.

Sooooooo........your saying a stock shelby, competes with a stock ZR1?...
The auto just felt slower. The throttle response wasting as crisp and it didn't pull as hard going into each gear compared to the manual. Maybe it's a little deceiving and the auto runs as well as the stick. But the 2.73 gearing is killing the auto. They could have at least put 3.15s in for the z51.
Ancient highway secret...ahhhh...2.73 rear gear in big powa car, go real fast!
You gotta understand man,...the average buyer of a corvette,...isn't going drag racing bro. They're,...ahh...we're,..cruising to bingo on friday nights. That's how we roll dawwwg.

No doubt they are fast. But when you say throw a supercharger on this or that then stock for stock goes out the window. So yeah.. throw a supercharger on the c7 and leave the 500 stock. Its gms fault they didnt supercharge from the factory. Really dont want to get into the whole ford needs a power adder thing. They are how they are from the factory. Maybe the c7 looks will grow on me.. maybe not. As of now, I am awaiting an opportunity to run a modded one on the street.
