I honestly think the car is good for another mph or so.. all of my runs up until now were with an annoying 1-2 grind.. took some momentum away from me shifting. Average 60fts on the 20" 555r's was 1.9's.. so the car hasn't seen a "good" day at the track yet.. Mcleod RXT just went in, and so far street shifts into 2nd have been good.. but the track will tell.. it did it pretty much every run at the track.. and sometimes on the street.

Yea it is very possible that it could go 100 in the 1/8th. One day I will get back to the track. For now I am enjoying making power becauce it is so easy

NO! I'm skeered of your car.

I am sure there will be an opportunity this warm weather season to get some runs.. I just wanted to do it with a stock z at my current mod level since alot of people have big debates over a pulley/tune vs stock z run. After my other mods.. I will have to run one with more mods than stock.

So sad that you want to call out a stock ZO6 to make you feel better about your car...Why don't you be a man and run a boosted vette or even a cam and bolt on vette? typical muscrat fanboys...

Ford guys tend to always want/need something extra.

It won't make me feel better about my car. I want to prove the rwhp advantage it takes to take one out. And as long as my heavy pig makes the required rwhp more than the Z, no matter the mods, I am good. But thanks for playing.

And I am far from a fanboy.

Sigh... comon Hio... you know as well as I do, whether it is a Dodge, Ford, or Chevy, it all comes down to power to weight and getting it to the pavement.

Its not about wanting more... its about the reality of how much more power I need to take a Z with my heavy car.

So think of it this way... the Z is the little pansy boy that weighs 100lbs and can run around me... the big bouncer who has the power, but can't scratch his own back

Tell me about it. Wonder why these pusstang boys spend their entire day on a GM site anyways. That's like me trolling on Viper Alley 24/7 with my Corvette.

They can't get enuff LSX....
