Default Track times

I see a lot of LT1 Camaro and Ta times on here often but I am wondering what the LT1 Corvettes are running and what is considered decent times for a stock or near stock C4 with an LT1 .

Probably bad drivers, but most the stock ones I see at the track are in the upper 14.s

Even with a real good driver I think it would be still at least mid/low 14s... A set of radials would solve that problem though

Yeah I have just been wondering .... I haven't had mine for long and haven't been able to get to a quarter mile track yet . My car is still pretty stock and in the eighth mile I ran an 8.64 and got a little sideways off of that with a 1.98 60ft. time . I'm not really sure what that would be in the quarter but I just dont see many vettes on here . So I guess I'm doing better than most haha .

8.64 1/8 should be a solid 13sec 1/4!

Yeah thats what I was guessing . I only got to run twice that night and ran an 8.65 and 8.64 which I got pretty sideways but still ran better . I assumed that would be mid 13s . My car is still very stock so seemed decent to me .
