Nice run.

OP, how badly did you get him off the line? I'll guess the ZR1 came around you real hard? I think Sticks n Stones has a point about the heatsoak thing if the ZR1 practiced a number of launches before the race.

Ahhahaha If you think you cleanly beat a pullied LS9....you're smokin some good stuff. Bone-stock they'll pull 130+ traps. With Boltons/race gas 700rwhp is easy!!

This thread iz stupid.

the same combo years ago made 502rwhp (t56) ls6 intake and tb mine has the 102mm set up and th400 so i think this motor would make 530-550 through a 6 speed. but ill never find out bc i cant afford a built t56


almost all the haters in this thread are vette owners

How is this thread stupid?? The man gave us a story, most of the know it alls of sr&k called bs on him staying that close to a pullied ZR1. Then he posts a video that PROVES he was telling the truth. To me this thread is WINNING!! Even tho he lost, lol. Car runs damn strong. I think you can take him even from a roll once you get tuned and spray that bitch.

Good run man and yes anything can happen on the street. Everyone finds it hard to believe because how fast the zr1 is and let alone one that got a bit of work done to it. Basically you have a really fast 408 or the zr1 is doing something horribly wrong but either way good run against it not all vette owners are haters I personally have ran a 408 camaro with 4.10s when I was near stock and he walked me on a 45 roll about 3-4 car by 150 mph The guy ran a 10.8 with slicks but he had mickey et on that night. My buddy filmed it

smok'nZ...nice race...it's a tough crowd...your car hauls *** for sure..quick story, years ago a guy with a grand national kept running his mouth about f-body's being ****...i had a new '87 formula 350 with a few things done to it...ran into mr. big mouth and he started his crap, problem was he left his car running i didn't...i kept him talking for about 15 minutes or so...then we lined up...moral of the story, he lost..think that is what everyone meant by heatsoak...get that tune, and hell try again....good luck.

thanks i think it would have been A LOT worse if he just would have showed up and ran first launch or 2 he didnt hook for **** then he started to get the feel for it

but next time i race him i will not run N/A

Nice run, OP. Big power in a light car doesn't always equal a massacre against an under-powered and heavier opponent, particularly if you can't hook the power and drive it to its full potential. I'm sure all the warm up launches didn't help, either.

Get tuned and add a 3.73 or better gear and this would be a hell of a race

Bone stock ZR1's have gone low 10's on drag radials. A pullied and tuned ZR1 is capable of 9's with the right tire.
