Default Corvette z51 vs Corvette Z06

I went to the track last saturday to get some runs in only got 2 in before it got rained and bogged the first run trying to figure out what rpm to launch at and missed 4th the second haha. Here is the 1st run from saturday of me racing a bolton C6Z.

Hahaha did you post this up to show Drew what your gonna do to him? Man that guy needs a driver mod.

Car sounds sick though. That trap is good for mid/low 11's if you get out of the hole better. What tires are you running?

Wow that is beyond horrible! Im a halfway decent driver myself, with just intake and full exhaust i went 11.17 @127.08 babying my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts after hopping a bit and missing 3rd the run before and letting off early(still went 11.91 @ 113). If i had a cam'd c6 z06 i woud be upset not to go at least mid 10's let alone one high 11 and a bunch of mid 12's. I was upset when when i was bone stock to only run a best of 11.8 and with a dr a best of 11.61.

Yea she definately has mid/low 11 sec run in her just need more than 2 runs to do it. Those first two runs I was just seeing how the track was hooking before I really tried to launch it. I might have let out a lil early too kinda looks like it.

Yea the trap would have been a lil better too if I wouldn't have bogged it was alot worse than it looked. Im running 275/40/17 m/t et street radials.

Ya the cam'd one was on NT05 street tires so he does have an excuse but still i'd think u could do better up top to make up for the slow start from spinning/hopping.

Even with those tires his 1/8 and 1/4 mi times and trap speed show a very poor driver.

The z51 package comes with the 6.0l ls2 but has has upgraded supension parts and some other stuff that i am not sure of. The z06 comes with the 7.0l ls7, dry stump, aluminimum frame, widebody etc.

Nice runs. But for the mods you have your car should be trapping a higher mph.
