We will see what I can run. I need to get a FAST, I am at sea level elevation so I have an advantage there. I just want 10.90's and I'll be satisfied. Because when it's all said and done, I can still go to Publix and get the groceries...

My Z has been in the shop for 2 months and hopefully I'll get it back today or tomorrow, Woo Hoo! and I miss it so bad it will be driven daily for a long time. And I'm thinking I'll really suck as a driver if I can't get in to the 10's with the new Ls3 427 w/forged internals, 11.0 CR, P&P AFR225's, P&P FAST90/Ls2 TB, big CAM, TexOz700, RPM Level 5, DTE 390's/brace.

Sounds like a bad *** 427 !!! What kind of numbers are you expecting ??

Did you keep the compression a little lower then most because of the 91 octane fuel out there ?

I can name
1 Bolt-On C5Z in the 10s
3 H/C C5s in the 10s
1 Cam only C6 in the 10s
1 FI C5 in the 10s
1 DR only C6Z in the 10s
2 FI C5s in the 9s
1 H/C C5Z 346 in the 9s
All of these are DDs and have one thing in common.
(I'm sure that I'm missing somebody.)

I'll take the bait, whats the one thing they all have in common ??

*I looked at your "about me" and saw ATCO. So I am going to guess that all these cars were run in EXCELLENT DA at the track known as ATCO. Worlds quickest track ? Maybe.

ATCO is a good guess and has some merit. Some were ran in excellent DA while others were ran in high 80* weather. As for the quickest track, I'll be heading to MIR this year to compare. Now the answer to the question: Anger Management Racing.

ALL are DDs as previously stated. The two C5s are TT and are very docile. The N/A 346 was featured in GMHTP magazine. You can see it run if you watch the YouTube video of the white C6 and then scroll down at the bottom. It will be entitled 6 speed C5 Corvette 346ci n/a record. This car idles @ 600 rpm and drives like a dream.

I co-maintain the fast list with Robert56@RNS on CF. Your car runs extremely well also. You may want to plan a road trip.

I wondered about that.Several of the CF guys post here as well. Thanks for the compliment,I will be satisfied once it hits 9s here with the six speed.And I almost came out this year with Jeff at TPE to run with the big boys(or at least run on the same track) Perhaps next year we will load up and make the trip together.
