Default Finally, A Record for the West Coast!

Maybe it's just me, but it always seems like the top dogs on all the 'fast lists' are always somewhere in the midwest or northeast.

Well, one of the guys over on the Vette forums is representing for the West Coast. He just became the first N/a C6 Vette to click off a 9 second pass. It's a heads/cam LS7 motor with an A6 tranny. He went 9.9 @ 139 mph on a 1.4 sixty foot.

More info on the car HERE.

That's true man it does seem like the fast cars are in other regions. It's really cool that he's putting it down for the west coast

the rims are fine as long as u switch to M&H tires. thats what we all do and there are some GTOs that have gone over 140mph with them no issues at all.

Not to rain on the parade, but what exactly was the record that was broken?

As far as I know, they're saying it's the first naturally aspirated C6 (non-Z06) in the 9's. Also the first Vette with an A6 tranny in the 9's .

That's because if any of them came out here and tried to run in our air, they would be slower than they are back east.

Take your cars back east during the for three months or last three months of the year and your cars will run at least a .25 faster.

My buddy went to Texas and the car went from 5.0's in the 1/8 to 4.80's

I don't know, I was just posting because it's a good video and he was claiming to be the fastest car on the N/A C6/Z06 fast list.

So are there Z06's in the nine's that are naturally aspirated?
