Default 1/4 mile help

I drove a buddy of mine zo6 at the track. It makes around 420/365tq. Mods are ms3 prc and all the boltons for a vett. I keep telling him his car is fast just no dyno queen. Track time for me was 12.4 116mph 2.16 short time. I told him with a better clutch and a little more grip its a mid 11 sec car does this sound about right?



I know this is not a corvett forum but I like the tech crowd better.

That mph looks like a 11 sec run.

I agree, with a killer launch/traction and a clean pass, that car has mid 11s in it.

The power numbers are a bit unusual. Stock with just a CAI, my 02Z was 363 rwhp and 350 rwtq. So your bud's 365 tq looks misaligned with the 420 HP.

Assuming the HP # is OK, the car should run 11.10-11.20 or better with strong driving and an aftermarket clutch on MT Radials or bias-ply. But that won't happen without practice and commitment.

There's often a wide gulf between a car's potential and the driver's skill and commitment to improvement. You can develop the skill but not without commitment.
