Never raced a spec-V, not sure what you are referring to, but it looks like you live close enough to Tulsa to come by for a friendly run sometime. Heck, I even come to OKC a couple of times a year, I could look you up if you want.

But yes, I guess an explanation is in order. The race against that old C5 was 3 1/2 years ago. This is not even the same car. Same engine, swapped into another SHO, new fuel system, laptop tuner (instead of chip, which was a poor tune), 62-1 with a proper A/R vs the little T3/4 I had back then. Way better power curve, especially up top. Power dropped off very quickly over 6000rpm before, now I make power all the way to redline (7300rpm). Lot of other upgrades over the old car.

Lately I've been lucky enough to run up against lots of f bodies that want to play.... but if you notice I haven't posted any of those kills. If its not on video..... it didn't happen..... only if you drive an ls based car... or didn't beat an ls based car in a non ls based car.... or if everyone knows your car is fast.... like unit and some others.

gsrhunter, I feel your pain man. I posted this on a corvette forum, in the C6 Z06 forum, and was much better recieved.

HAHA, my wife hates my Taurus obsession, she really does. And the only comparison taking place is the trap speeds at a legal race, no more. I thought going fast was the idea, not looking fast. The SHO may not be much of a looker, but I like it nonetheless (kind of like my wifes relationship with me, she could have done much better).

lol. I wouldn't mind seeing a pic. I never really minded SHO's. my buddies fam always had one from the older boxy one to the newish sleeker frame, nice rides.
Anyway, nice kills. Video is always appreciated.

Not much a NA car can do about it, but I simply have to turn a dial and I will see the same boost at altitude as I do at sea level.

Some of the C6Z's were stock I am sure, but there were some nicely modded ones there. Last year, a guy who owns a dealership brought one with headers and some other NA mods, and 200shot of nitrous. Did 188mph in the mile, a good 15mph faster than what stock C6Z's run at this course.
BTW, this car is a bit of a monster up top too, as it has gained 34mph in the last 1/8th at the dragstrip, and that was the old car on 13psi. This new car on 22psi is quite a lot to handle. I sure wanted to run higher boost at this 1/2 mile race, but being 550miles from home, and driving the car there and back, I did not want to take any chances of something failing, plus the open road race is the real highlight of the weekend, and to break something in the shootout, only to be sidelined for the road race, that would suck.
I did get some very nice pics of the Heffner SRT-10, but they are not on the net yet. I will get them uploaded soon though, it was a beautiful car, and CRAZY FAST!! 177mph in the half mile, almost 20mph faster than stock SRT-10's run the full mile here!!

Thanks for the support, seems hard to come by hear. Like someone else said, this would be a strange post to make up! Got some pics on the first page, and the link to the official results is up in the first post (sorcrace.com)

Thank you toolman, thats a lot better. If you were to go to any forum and say you beat a C6Z06 in your taurus you would be laughed at without showing proof. Hell even if you drive a badass F-body and say you beat a C6Z06 you will get flamed if you dont show proof. Btw, do you have any dragstrip times or dyno numbers? It would have to be making 600+whp to do what you say.

This car is not extremely heavy (3400lbs), has a good c/d (.32 or so), great power under the curve, and very favorable gearing (5spd manual). It actually shines for high speed events such as this, something it does NOT do at the dragstrip! 600whp would have likely got me a 155+ in the half, good enough for second place in the street class, or more than 185mph in the mile, good enough for top honors in the street class (which happened to be won by a Haibeck 415 ZR1, super sweet car).

BTW a stock C6Z06 should have been doing 150 or so within a half mile so what were you doing?
A C6 Z makes what, 450whp? Still, I expected them to run faster than they did (136 or so), so best I can tell, the elevation (and some say the road has a slight incline near the end) must have a decent effect.
