LOL IF that was considered good smh, Could have been alot worse and not for me lol

This guy has it right. 4K+ stall vs 6 speed on drag radials has huge advantage.

To the OP - nice run regardless.

Here is an example of a good h/c car vs a 408 car. 6 speed digs ftw!

Since were sharing information, just thought i'd share this with ya'll.

One of our board members just took his BONE-STOCK ZR1 w/ DRAG-RADIALS (Nothing else!!) to a 10.4@134 . Yes, you read that right, 134mph in 1/4 mile stock w/ a tire. That is amazing. The ZR1 simply kicks ***.

Here is the link:

The ZR1 continues to make the haters look stupid.

Huh? Are you replying to me or... I guess I'll just go ahead and say I'm glad for you that you're happy with your car. You should be! It seems like a stout setup for sure; but whenever someone beats a ZR1 I want to see a vid of it because so often, it simply didn't happen.

From your response it seems like you thought I was throwing up a bs flag lol. For the record I never said your car isn't what you said it was, I simply said if you want an opinion from us maybe post up the vid. However, I didn't see at the time that you got a fellow member to post it up for you on page 2. In the end, cool vid. Cool car.

So you barely lost to a 100+K car by 1 length. I would say "Nice Death". FOR 100K THE ZR1 BETTER RUN 8's AND DRIVE A 5000K ROAD TRIP WITHOUT A HICCUP.

With a fuel system, a tune, and a Real DIFF. You will be Bitch Slapping Zr1's on a daily basis...

So what should the $300k exotics do for the money? Curious about your answer. Anticipating a lame response though....
