We took 2 C6 Z06's to the mile, one boosted and one on nitrous. Both cars ran personal best this year. The boosted car on 18 lbs and the nitrous car on a 400 shot.

It makes 600rwhp NA on pump gas and little over 1,000 rwhp on nitrous. Its being sprayed in 3rd, 4th, and 5th the whole time (about 18 seconds with nitrous on). We only had a single 15lb bottle in the car so the pressure was dropping toward the end of the run costing a little mph. The car was also having issues shifting into 5th gear at high rpm every pass, would shift at 7,000rpm and it wouldnt go into 5th until rpms dropped to around 4,000-4,500rpm. We are already making changes to car to make it a little easier to drive next time and hope to squeeze another mph or two out of it. Its a mint street car that gets drove around and you could literally jump in it and take it cross country tomorrow.
Glad to see some TXMile talk on LS1Tech, we've been running 5th gen Camaro platforms for about 3-4 years now in the event. Whole different world from 1/8 or 1/4 racing! Great time for the Y body's. We've got the record for zeta platform stock bottom end 200mph+ and zeta platform stock bottom end rwhp period.
I think we have record for fastest scion FR-S, period, at 163.1 too. But haven't heard confirmation on that one yet.
The night runs as of 2 events ago are really shifting the tactics on things.
Great looking slips. You guys are great to have around here just like Pat and Kurt. I may try a hand at the mile one day but the to do list may never let that happen.
