A stock Z06 (02 & up) will run low 12's with good driver, air, and track. Will run high 11's with drag radials.

V8 Fieros can be wicked fast... i read an article they will start to go airborne at 150+ cause the stock GT front end has lift.

The wide body kits looke sweet, actually alot of the body kits look nice and clean(shocked the hell out of me)... Even the "copy" kits look clean nowadays.

But I dont think anyone has really gone beserk on them yet?

The are scoring high 10's in the 1/4 arent they?

Nice pic of a body kit for the fiero. My bro wanted to buy one and swap an LT1 into it until we found a truck for him. I saw a clip of one on the net with a LT1 swap. Pretty sweet. The guy had plans for a 383. Nice kill.

J-Rod has run 11.90s before on a bone stock '02 Z06, and I mean bone stock to the paper filter and stock radials. With only slicks he runs 11.60s.

Well when the light turned green he spun bad through first gear as i spun through first and a lil bit of second by that time i was at his door as i shifted to third i started to pull instantly(not hard but i was pullin). By the time i was in 4th i had atleast 1 car on him. We both shut down and i signled him t the gas station where we could talk. We talked for about 10-20 minutes. He asked what i had done, i said i had a northstar v-8 and u shouldve seend his face after i pooped the rear latch . He said his car was stock so i wonder what wouldve happened if he had bolt ons

yes they HAVE hit that, which means nothing if the driver in this race couldn't. All that plus this wasn't at the track.

as far as the street, i think we remember the stock STI vs stock z06 vid.
