Cam-Only TA - I ate a 505hp Z06 Corvette!
 

We were both spinning on the tires, I was not sure if I would beat him. I ran a 7.70 spinning all the way through the 60' and he ran a 8.0. This was when my tranny was at 180* and it was 95* outside. Usually my car runs 7.4s. The guy insists that I have nitrous somewhere; I told him, "Go ahead and look for it". I promise, I only have a cam and a stall! So it is now confirmed I am hitting somewhere around 500 now. This is going to be a great year. UNBELIEVABLE heads coming - :hail:

no way your car is at 500 cam only.... you beat a 490 hp car that does not have the tires or stall you have. Good Kill.

I run 7.40's also.... but I run a 1.9/2.0 60ft.... I make it up with the nitrous!! :)

Sounds like the guy in the Z can't drive to me. He should have gotton at least a 7.6.

So is the time in your sig on the gas or NA?

mine was on gas........ granny shifted 3rd due to clutch issues.

I though 121 seemed fast for that cam.

You beat the driver. I've seen a horrible driver make a slow pass of 12.7@121 with C6 Z06. Some people are just too afraid to take their expensive toys to the limit.

sweet, my bolt-on car is "hitting around 500" too, i run 7.7 in the 1/8 :D

with nos i'd be like 900!!!!!11!1!!!1

Then why even buy one? :jest:

No, you are more like 450.

Pretty close to 500, but it does not run the 7.4s in the hot ass weather! I ran a 7.38 a month or so ago when the cold front came through and the humidity was perfect! Sometimes I underestimate what the car is capable of. Something is majorly wrong with your 60'. If you run 7.4s, your 60 should be in the 1.57 range. Have not seen you around anywhere, are you laying low for a while?

Good kill. I took a new Z06 last week coming home from work...I didn't want to play on the street but we went from a 25 mph roll...I had him by 5 to 100 then got out of it..He flew by and flipped me off!!! oh well...Those things have wicked top end...Guess he was mad to lose to a lowly LT1...

i hope some of you people know the rwhp has more to do with MPH....not ET. ET has alot to do with suspension and hooking up.

a new Z06 with tires & driven the way it should be would MURDER a cam only fbody.

good kill none the less!!!

I agree with the above...Never been a huge fan of dyno numbers anyway...I have beaten and out mph'd cars with way more supposed rwhp than mine...The dyno is a great tuning tool, but numbers are just numbers. I've seen how easily it is to manipulate the numbers by changing the effective weight of the rollers with a key stroke. Those Z06s are pretty bad ass either way...

There are quite a few cam only cars that can scoot a ZO6 on any tire. I want to see a cam only ZO6 hit the track with a tire. I am thinking a full BO with a big cam, a tire and skinnies could crack a 9 with a good driver. We have already seen over 600rwhp out of these with suposed "mild" cams. Oh a gear would help too since they run 11.7 and better with 3.42s and street tires stock. And these are with the first couple cams. Wait till they get more dyno and track time with them to create even better cams. I am not about dyno racing but a before and after difference will show the numbers at the track.

Honestly, a ls7 vette with a tune, boltons, some gear, tires, and a drive line that will hold would be 9s with no problem i'd certainly think considering how they run with none of the above and how that motor should respond to bolt ons. Those things are animals. Put a cam in one and :bat_angel

So bone stock Z06's with sticky tires are running low to mid 10's? :eyes:

There are plenty of cam only LS1 f-bodys making 500 horsepower at the engine. At 403 rwhp with an unlocked TH350 and 12 bolt with 4.10's I'm probably pretty close if not above. :judge:

they trap over 127 which is good for 10's
I got smoked by Fadi's zo6 a few weeks ago. Check the kill section

Nice Kill, fasttagurl.

When two traction-limited cars line up, the winning car usually had the better driver.

A stock C6Z06 has Torque Management in the ECM to protect the drive-train. This makes the car weaker in the 60' and 330'. But it regains full power after that.

Mine has been running 6.31-6.40 for the 330'-1320'. And it's run 11.20 127.55 at a 1600' DA. That was on a 1.84 60' and 4.89 330'. 660' was 7.28 101.95

Run enough C6Zs and eventually you find one with an experienced driver.

That is awsome. A tune and a 10 is there man.
