It was Paul Z's car , here's a link to it , http://www.learntodragrace.com/
oh thats right... it was me
lol
Anyway, nice numbers guys!
I don't know anything about the car, but if in fact it was at CARTEK before RPM, then its hard to judge who did how much. RPM did not start with a blank canvas, so who knows. And I'm sure if the owner told CARTEK he wanted to run 8's they would have put him there with ease.
The only think i don't like is the lack of safety. Saying he built this car for the street is simply stupid, there is no way you can use that much power on the street, its just about deadly. But then again, its not my life he's playing with.
I wan 11.32@122 and people told me I was a jerk for not putting a roll bar in the car... but then again, that was 6 years ago and 11.32 was fast back then lol
I would love to see Mike R race this Z6 but seeing as how Mike's car is totally legal to run his times and the C6 is not even close, I doubt you will ever see them line up in a competition.

Fran , I'm not making execuses , Cartek obviously knows how to build an 8-second car , my car is 400lbs heavier and has 25 less cubic inches and it's gone 8's . The car still has some of Cartek's work in it , so I felt it was relevant to mention it . When Isaac got his car back from Cartek they told him what was needed to take it to the next level , and he didn't want to spend more money on the car at the time .
You guys did a great job of tweaking the car , the owner of the car lives near your shop and decided to take it to you for the fuel system and other upgrades needed to bring the car where it is now , you guys did a good job with it , but it wasn't just you . I have nothing against you or Isaac , I'm just stating facts .

How fast has your car been on pump gas? 9.3 correct? You even said it your self. Isaac didnt wanna spend more money. More or less he was just saying he didnt wanna spend it with them. Isaac is not the person to care about money. He wants something done and wants it done right. He doesnt care what it cost as long as he gets exactly what he wants.
The facts your stating are not relevant though. It doesnt matter if we started with a stock car or one half built. We went through everything again just to make sure. I dont wanna get into everything we changed bc im not bashing cartek or anyone but in the cars current state cartek had nothing to do with it.

I guess you'll run 7's on race gas then . Either way it is impressive .
