Your gonna need more then 505FWHP to run 10s with a vette. I've seen them run in the 11.70s with slicks or DRs. That seems about reasonable. I raced an A4 Z06 from a standstill. I got an awsome start and actually got about 1/4 car on him. He ended up beating me by about 1 1/2 cars at a little over 100MPH. I did way better that I thought I would for my mods. And after the crap he was talking before we raced, I consittered it a win.

P.S. He was commin on real strong when we broke off the race. If we'd have gone to say 130MPH or more. I'd a got a real good beat down.

Ive only seen one run and it was on the streets, that guy was haulin dick dude, we were in my buddies T/A m6 with 383 stroker/h/c/i with the cut outs open...had him off the line for about 3/4 of a car, then at about 45 or 50 he was dead even with us and by the time we were at about 120 mph he had about 2, 2-1/2 car lengths on us...

I dont know if it was auto or manual or if anything was done to it, I highly doubt it. but that thing was fast...

these things haul *** like i said b4. i've been in fast cars and gotten beat by stock to mildly modded Z06's. And to the dude above, who says his 94z only lost by 1.5 cars, what kind of heads you got on that thing? cam only ls1 and i'm thinking not. i think some of you haven't ridden in one / raced one with a good driver cuz dayum they fly
