New ZR1 on Stock Tirea @ E-Town this was at E-Town in October for a magazine shoot, i was there for a drag radial test and the ZR1 for one of the first "real" track tests by a GMHTP/Super Chevy type Mag..
here's a vid (trying to upload more, having an issue with photobucket) of a new ZR1 with headers on street tires.. the car has a tune in it according to the owner, but only leaning it out a little as it was very rich in the upper RPM range. it was a 300'DA day with a slight head/cross wind and the car wasn't hooking for anything. no full throttle till top of first and you can hear the slipping into 2nd of the tires, spinning for more than 30'..
IMO the car on a hot track is a 10.8 & on a DR?? who knows, deep 10's? by the end of the day after about 20 passes the car was hitting 133+mph and i believe 1 @134? the amazing thing is the driver of the car is just a kid, 19 i believe.. no offense to him, he did well but imagine this car in the hands of an experienced driver.. this car did run a number of 11.02's/.03's that day as well hot lapping some runs, it never even slowed down..
sorry no vids of the 134mph pass, by then i was dealing with my own non-shifting into 3rd trans issues lol.. anyway, i'll try to post more vids when the issues are worked out, the nice thing is how quiet it is so you can hear the car without any interference. fyi, my truck with a new higher stalled Yank, was only cutting 1.70's due to traction (i was only leaving half throttle) when in the past with a 3200 Vig it used to cut consistent 1.67's, so even this ZR1 should be able to cut, on a street tire, a good 1.7x maybe better 60' (not to mention he didn't even air the tires down at all, i know they're low profile, but should help some.
Anyway, thanks again to Super Chevy Mike for having Matt and myself there, was alot of fun. (got to watch the ZR1 and the GTR cutting up the road course some as well.)
you can't leave much softer then these two runs... full throttle top of first.
this was a run off the spray, still leaving the same way..
here's my friend Matt's G8 that day mild Cam, headers, 2800Vig
this car has since had a TVS1900 installed and run 11.14 & 11.17@125 and run as fast as 129mph.. he's looking for 10's if he can get it to hook.
Here's a vid of the low 11 runs.

That's awesome! Thanks for posting them up!
You're TB runs damn strong! I gotta get on the ball with my 02. I can't be getting beat by a TB SS, lol
How wussy was the cam in that G8? Bolt-on G8's are hitting 110mph consistently.

think he replaced it with a LPGT2, but before he had a mild, like stock 02Z06 cam, so he could keep the DOD.. if i remember correctly..
