I could only imagine Bret Favre (?) saying that before or after a football game about his team. LOL.

Its simple physics. NHRA drag teams use it all the time, its what the professionals do. With a 245 all season tire and the #s I had mentioned before, you will not reach 12.70 or lower. Is there a chance? There is always a chance I guess, but I wouldn't even put a dollar on it. Now, the more hp and wider the tire, the greater the chance. Hell, just the wider the tire would suffice.

Don't just take my word for it, talk to evolution performance and ask them why they installed different upper and lower control arms.
You can talk to all the C5 Z06 owners that have run 11s in the 117-119mph range (Ranger Armstrong holds the 11.77 record, btw), and tell them that they are liars. I'm sure some of them are on this site.

1) The car wasn't gutted
2) It had upper/lower control arms, not "full suspension"

You're grasping straws because a light bolt-on car is faster than your WAY more extensive setup... it's ok man, cars get better all the time. Adapt and move on.

PM Jamie Furman or Ranger Armstrong over on corvetteforums and see if they agree with your "facts."

Unfortunately for you jabawalkie, Irunelevens is correct. You obviously don't know much about the C5 Z06 that you own. Two reasons.

1. They make more than 350rwhp stock
2. There is several timeslips and even videos of them running low 12's stock, some cracked 11's with radials (ranger)

Not sure about the tires, but the 5.0's rear is def different. BETTER for launching, but different.

Wow. Twelve pages of the most idiotic internet battling I've seen this month. Let this go and quit menstruating about who went XX.XX @ XXX.

Then I hit page 10 and regret reading the literal meaning of "cam only" and "stock heads."

Mods, close this thread. We've sunk to the level of the street racing section from HondaTech.com.
