I've read where a guy ran 10.85 @129 on drag radials in a stock C6 ZO6 but I also read where GM tested one that ran a 10.7.has anyone else seen this article? I thought it was in GM High Tech but haven't been able to find it.

i've not seen the artical but i've seen a video of it floating around.. not a surprise when you consider the power it's making/what it weighs...


my question is what differes with the tranny/IRS in the new Z06 compared to my 98 coupe... 500 is in my future but i worry the drivetrain will give up...

I'm not talking about the 10.85 but the 10.7.

if anything your C5 diff might be stronger! I know C5 diff case vs C6 case the C5 is stronger. C5Z's even modded to 450rwhp didn't have rear end issues that I know of. The C6Z's had half shaft issues until late 06's or 07' model year. The diff I think on the C6Z is ok for stock and slightly modded power, so afaik it's an upgrade. The C6Z tranny is same as the base C6 in gearing and capacity and seems fine. I know my 07Z shifts great with stock shifter, much much different than my 01Z with stock shifter(had to upgrade to a hurst). I think your tranny and irs should be ok, you'll want better shocks though and your clutch will need upgrade!

Where'd you read about a 10.7x? As far as i know Ranger's 10.85 is the quickest anyone has taken a stock c6 z06.

True, Ranger has run a 10.85@129+ in his stock Z06 with drag radials (and 11.2@125+ on factory tires/showroom stock condition).
Others have gone 10.7 (and quicker) but those were bolt on (headers, tuning etc.) cars. There's a fast nitrous Z06 out there as well.

I have an acquaintance in Houston that say a friend of his has a new C-6 Z06 with several mods that tried him on some time back. The new Vette has already run below mid tens @ 130s but was no match for his '67 Vette with a healthy 540 in it and special Strange Dana IRS rear end with 3.07 gears & a five speed.. Of course Jim's Corvette has beaten lots of Vipers too. (10.08 @ 140 MPH).

Ranger is still the Fastest Stock C6 ZO6 to date!! 10.85 @ 129+ All he did was bolt on a set of 17" drag radials on some ZR1 take off rims. If you watch his video......the man can drive!!

I also heard GM ran a 10.7 around product release time.

Are there any videos of the 10.7 run? I saw the 10.85 run but can't seem to find it now.

Go to the drag racing section. Ranger's 10.85 thread is still on the first page.
