Doug, you don't want to race the ZR1 past 150. Up to 150, and given that you have a tire on the car, I think you might win given your P:W. But, past 150, gearing will take over and the ZR1's 5th gear ratio is .81:1, much better than the Z06's. This is the first time ever that a Corvette doesn't fall flat on it's face when shifted into 5th gear, but again, that's due to the shorter gearing.
Yes, Jorday's car is in the shop as we speak and will be back by the end of August (at least that is the ETA). When it comes back, it will be a 140 mph car through the traps and I will be sure to post the 60-200 mph race video between us. Stay tuned....
