There's two ZR1S that have been faster, both were in -1800 DA.

Im disappointed no one has complained this is at ATCO in NJ. The interwebs tell me its a cheater track because of the impossible DAs it always has compared to almost everywhere else.

It helps when the track is 30 minutes from the coast...

There are enough tracks that reliably produce record setting times its not really a big deal. The car is moving the **** out

Well they are rated at 650 hp and with decent DA and a tire that can hold it, so ya I can see it.

You spelled radial really weird

It's Pack*

Wheels and tire swap and go 10.30s seems like a pretty good deal

What factory stock cars run faster than 10.3's with drag radials only under $100k? I'm interested in this list of yours. 458? 911? Viper?



Yes a boosted Coyote can run faster, hell my POS 3rd gen can with a lot less money but it will never be the sophisticated, refined, exotic and versatile supercar that the C7 z06 is for $79k.

Don't get me wrong, I love the ZR1 and I'll probably be able to own one for $60k~ thanks to the C7Z


PS, the C7Z also had a full tank of gas.

Lol, I'm not carrying any torches. Just pointing out the inane. Don't you think the whole butthurt thing is a bit played out? Seems to be the go to bait response for just about anything.

I don't even care about the ET, lets see how many Z's can match this car's best trap of 133.xx.

PS. Why is your Z so slow? Maybe you should watch some Ranger vids.

Atco is a fast track. I finally drove one today. Doesn't feel like a 130MPH car to me. Still though the one in the video is very impressive.

I believe it. Its an 8 speed auto. Its on a tire. Its Atco... and if the weather conditions/track conditions are right... it will actually make the power thats advertised and not yank it out from excessive heat. A huge key point to this is running a track rental... rather then just running on a typical test and tune. When you can pull up a nice cool car right to the lights and make a pass... thats awesome. Where as you are sitting in line with the car running getting hotter and hotter watching IATs sky rocket. Back when my car was NA. By the time I actually made it to the burn out box... My IATs were over 150*. By the end of the pass.... they were ambient.

Yeah that trap speed is pretty amazing.

It's "slow" because of >2.0 '60. I'm familiar with Ranger's advice on launching, just need more seat time at the track. I've had all of 3 total runs down the 1/4 since buying this car a month ago.

based on the c7 zo6's power to weight vs other cars with similar specs 10.3 is what it should do. Its nice to see it happen finally no matter what track it was on.
