I can comprehend everything in this thread just fine. You came in with your smartass comment telling the OP that the targa conversion was a fail.

All of this applies only for 60+mph speeds, below that is fine.
The targa top is a cool factor, not a performance factor and I assume the majority have a understanding of that. Yet so many people love that turbulent air in their hair, not sure how that's absurd or a fail...???
Have you ever heard of anyone remove their targa top and then be concerned about the turbulence? Lol

I, like most will never make the sacrifice it takes to obtain such a badass ride so I won't say its a fail or a success. I will say that GM has made the changes to the new platform for a reason. GM sure makes some fine *** cars. The ZR1 would still be badass if it was four different colors mismatch wheels.

At 670 to tire even a wagon would have no problem taking down a stock ZR1. Somethings Wrong... My sedan makes 673rwhp and runs 10.3-10.4 all day at 132-134. A stock ZR1 no problem. Get new heat exchanger and Norcal icebox. You should have taken down that ZR1

I forgot about this run lol. Turns out my hx tank plumbing was leaking and my car was tunning on 426 hp because of iats shooting sky high and ecu was pulling timing.

After a new heat exchanger, tank, pump, and plumbing it runs just like a 672 rwhp car should. The Zr1 and I re-ran a few weeks after the hx both with 2 passengers from 45-155 and my front bumper was right at his rear wheels. Definitely a night and day difference, I just don't have any bottom end with my cam specs.

Exactly! The Cts making that much power should have no problem with a stock ZR1.
