They should break 10s with a tire for sure. Stock tire gonna be tough but may happen we'll see.

If you believe the 10.3-10.5 hero runs for the a8 zo6 at 35xx pounds it should add up to high tens also.

Pretty much looks like a dead heat with a hellcat but just bench racing right now.
Never been a fan of hero DA times. The car doesn't run like that the rest of the year.

Well yeah it's not going to run 10s mid summer. Neither will the hellcat or any other car for comparison in the range. this 6g ran 10.6 129 same track and day as hellcat 10.8 128.

Aren't fi cars less susceptible to DA than na as well ? Low 11s should be pretty common with traction. GM rates them at 11.4 and they weren't lying with the ss at 12.3. They will do that all day with traction in average DA. Using that delta as well puts the zl1 very close to tens stock and easy 10s with a tire looking at private owner ss times. They are rated .9 faster than ss by GM.

Yeah i don't see any problems with the ZL1 being an average mid to low 11sec car. 10 speed auto very good. I really hope Furd has them on the 2018 GTs with a power bump.

The 10spds going to be shared on both sides of the camp. I feel an auto gt500 type variation coming in from the blue oval side.

Of course not.

All you've raced is stock manuals.

I'd like to see what just an e85 tune a8 6g would do to nanner. Probably peel her wide open lol

Heck I've got your times beat and I've got less than 10 hp in mods and stock tune.

Btw I got flex kit ordered today Black Friday special. Stay tuned next spring for low 11s with less mods than your 11.8... back to that half second gap just like stock...

Touché. I did run an 11.89 in +300 and headwind FYI. Your da was ~500 on your best pass btw... well that's what you told m6g anyway. Dragtimes said ~200

What are your current plans for nanner? You've said both fi and FBO in the past...

Well the DA varied that day. When we got tonthe track DA was 500ish ft. My 11.8s were run between 800-1100ft.. temp was rising during the dsy.. trsck started running at 11am. Dragtimes actually has the track elevation wrong on their page for some reasin. I was using airdensityonline.com for DA.

Plans wise, unsure. I want to go turbo, but am curious about what the 2018 GTs have in store. I also want a garage in the back yard with a lift, so have debated getting that dine before big mods on the car. I just need more meth labs to finance it all

Just curious what your best time is so far on the street according to your dash?

When I first got the car 100% stock it did a 12.3 with the timer it was ~70s out probably 1500-2000 da for this area as a guess. Had some wheelspin 0-60 was 4.3 (it records that too if you notice check it after a 1/4 run)

That's the only time I've tested the 1/4 with the timer. I've done several 0-60 tests and I've only ever hit 4.0 stock tires. I hit 3.8 the one time I tried it with my drag pack. It nearly dead hooked. It may have a 3.6-7 in it at the strip with a dead hook as a guess.

Some stock manual guys have claimed and shown as low as 3.7 0-60. But they are banging 2nd getting wheelspin and tripping the timer early. It's obvious when you watch.

I tested mine with the timer on the dash...best I could do was like 12.5.

Please don't speak about the 10 speeds. I'm jealous of them, might trade mine in on a facelifted 10 speed whenever that happens. They shift so dang fast...

2018 Gt's will have the 10spds. So I'm wondering if the SS will. I would think so.
