Straight line-awesome, for a stock car. No match for heavily modded cars.(bigdawgs)

Road course-awesome for a stock car. No match for a big wheel C5-C6 on coilovers and a proper tire.

All around,.... the car is amazing. Hope one day to have one.. Stil, it's only the big dawg, around other stock corvettes of years past.
Manufacturers have for years been trying to make a "DRIVEABLE" car that shoots right out of the box. A car that can go great right from the street to the track and do anything. Obviously, anyone can modify any car to work better in one venue or another. Race cars are tweeked from one minute to another! The last I heard they had a simple modified new ZR1 in the 9s range in the quarter, but, that car would be tragic back on a road course without dialing it back down.

Anyway, it's going go be interesting with the ZR1 testing with this baby below!

LOl this dude is no where "in the club" IMO. OP made so many dumb posts I'm just going to comment on the funniest to me.

OP you said you had an SS spoiler, are you talking about a camaro SS spoiler?

Also, good god what's up with your tips?

Finally, please stop posting equations. They aren't helping you at all.

You've spent MONEY from what I've read so you can surely afford a cheap digital camera or maybe a cable to connect your cell phone to the computer....

BTW I couldn't figure out those tips either.

I dont checkout the corvette section that often. All i got to say is Wow i read through this whole thread and I have no clue what the op is stating. His statements have gotten more legible the more he types, so there is hope. To the op i think you need to stay with one idea at a time instead of multiple ideas a one time. And much props to you Doug for trying to interpret.

Thanks Corey. You are right he's starting to make sense. Still got a long way to go. I'm curious, has it been established whether his first language is english or not? If it isn't he gets a free pass. If it is then thumbs down. LOL.

I'm not even sure Earth is his first planet. The sky is definitely a different color in his world.

Rosulekg my question wasn't directed at you, it was directed at raptorws6. This is why I quoted him before asking the question.

Took it to the track not long after the motor was put in i only ran twice, but i was running on some wore out 275 KDW's. So traction was a real issue, that and i still have the stock 10 bolt. Trying to keep from spinning so much i babied it out the hole and had like a 2.4-2.6 60ft. Even with that it still ran like 11.9 at 119. I only ran twice due to the rear trying to hop all down the track, and me not have cash to buy a 9" rear and the car was my DD as well. I did run a C6Z once from a 35 mph roll both starting in 2nd, we quit about 120. I had more that half a car on it and was pulling away. I dont get to drive the car much anymore due to the 10 bolt wineing and howling like a beaten dog, hopefully I can replace it soon.
