Default Do you think your Vette is fast enough to be featured on Vette Online?

Hey, everyone.

This is Rick Seitz from Power TV, and we're looking for FIVE (5) of the fastest Corvettes we can get our hands on for an upcoming article covering IRS-equipped Corvettes for our newest online publication Vette Online. We're talking strictly straight-line acceleration here! We're looking for not just LS-powered rides, but ALL Corvettes than are equipped with the factory (modified or otherwise) IRS suspension. But they gotta be fast, and they gotta be clean!

We're not interested in stockers, either. The cars in question can either be trailer queens or daily driven, but they must be able to perform, and their owners must be able to prove this with dyno sheets and timeslips, along with some high-quality pictures! Your engine combo doesn't matter, but we're trying to get some solid 8-10 second cars here!

The top five cars we pick will get a spot in our story and will be featued on VetteOnline.com and quite possibly LSXTV.com (if they all end up being LS-powered).

If you think you and your Corvette has what it takes, let me know by either replying to this thread or private message me. We only have room for 5 cars, so act fast!

Thanks! But it's not limited to 8 second cars! We want 9 second cars, 10 second cars, and cars that are in the 11s as well! Let's see what you guys can come up with!

OK, I'll play. Check my sig and let me know if you're interested in my ride.
It's basically a street car, but no stranger to the strip and the road course.
I do all of my own wrenching on it too!

I have another mid ten second Z, but Jims would be somewhat faster in my DA. I presume you want a car from each time of 8 thru 11 seconds ?
