Keep in mind this C6Z is about 400 lbs lighter than my car , there 3350 , I'm 3780 , we can still line up though , this C6Z is bad *** , I remeber hearing it when it was at Cartek when they installed the blower and built the motor . http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...s-my-rwhp.html

Running that fast without a rollcage is really pushing your luck though , be safe out there .

A C6Z has an aluminum frame , you really can't put a legal cage in it as you can't weld steel to aluminum .

Customer has decided to not put a cage in it so he can drive it on the street. the car has come a long ways since it was at cartek. we went through the motor again and did some other tweaking this thing is badass

Haha, didn't mean to start a callout, was just saying it'd be sick to see a C5 and C6 running 8s next to each other.

Very nice Fran. Looks like it's running pretty efficient going by the ET/ trap speed.
What tranny is it running?

When it was at Cartek the owner wasn't looking for 900rwhp , you changed the cam and turned up the boost and put the 4L80E in it and tweaked it , congrats again on the 8's . See you guys at the track .

Not trying to be a smart *** but we changed ALOT more than that since cartek had the car. Not much is the same on the car since they touched it.

It actually isn't the first 8 second Z06.
While it is mentioned in the title, that first line there is a little misleading...you really should specify that it's the first 8 second C6 Z06, there have been C5 Z06s in the 8s for years now.

That's a good point. I too don't recall Isaac specifying that he was looking to go 8s (or even low 9s) at that point either.
If he had been seeking that back then I'm sure that Cartek would've obliged considering that they'd already put a boosted little 346 C5 Z06 in the mid 8s (8.4@156+mph to be exact) over 5 years ago.

But this isn't about that, it's just cool as hell that Isaac ultimately did decide to step it up and raise the bar for C6 Z06s like that, 8s is no joke.
