Damn, those cars are sexy!

A half assed pass so the ET wasn't impressive.

All I have is a picture of the time, no video! Nice mph for a bad pass!!

Manufacturer's claim is an 11.3@131mph I think.

I believe that the manufacturer's claims for the C6 Z06 was like an 11.7@124mph yet in private hands the quickest pass for a stock one so far has been a 10.9@128+mph.

Based on that math and deductive reasoning a stock ZR1 could potentially run, well, REALLY FREAKIN' FAST!

The Zr1 and 2008 Vipers are gonna be some close matches...

So far the 2008 vipers have been trapping 127-130 mph in the hands of private owners their first trip to the drag strip...

That 129 trap is awesome as well...Man I cant wait till they do head to head same day testing

He bogged it out of the hole, then short shifted 2nd. I'm saying it would have went 132+ that night on a good pass!

Sorry man...The average C6Z06 is gonna trapp 121-124 mph it's first night out...With practice 124-126 in good conditions...

The few that have got 127 PLUS mph out of stock C6Z06's are few and far between..

a SRT10 can trap 127 it's first ever pass and touch 130's...The Zr1 seems to be the same at this point..

Remember its a 3350 pound 635 HP vette VS a 3450 pound 600 HP viper..35 HP when your comparing 600 to 635 HP is hardly anything to say the leaste...As well 100 pounds is very little as well...They are gonna be VERY close with the slight edge of 1-2 tenths and 1-2 mph going to the ZR1...


Im expecting in the head to head comparisons of the C6Z06 vrs SRT10 vrs ZR1 that it will go down like this....

C6Z06-0-60 mph in 3.5 and 1/4 mile in 11.8 at 124.0 mph-lap of 1:19.5

SRT10 -0-60 in 3.4 and 1/4 mile in 11.6 at 126.5 mph-lap of 1:17.0

ZR1 -0-60 in 3.3 and 1/4 mile in 11.4 at 128.0 mph-lap of 1:16.0

ACR -0-60 in 3.3 and 1/4 mile of 11.5 at 127.0 mph-lap of 1:15.5

Of course they can all go much faster with actual owners but these are the numbers that Im expecting...

Should be soon!!!!!!!!!!!
