Raced a Z06
So... yeah, GM's top dog.
A buddy of mine bought a Z06 only a couple of weeks ago. So we went to the evening gathering and lined em up. He took two cars off the line on me, damn thos vettes launch hard! By the top of 2nd I am 2 cars behind, 3rd, I match his speed and 4th, I start reeling him in hard. Unfortunately, I ran out of track to pass him and lost by a couple of meters. 1/2 a car or so. But I was going to pass him fast. Overall a good race, he outdrove me but I am satisfied with the way my car ran. Time for traction upgrades!

The Z06's are sweet. The non Z06 vettes aren't anything spectacular, but I wouldn't mind a Z06. Nice run.

You must not have drove very well....trapping 119mph you should have destroyed him.

Sounds like a fun race. Those ZO6's can run pretty hard. The ones i've seen around here usually go 114ish, and mid 12's.

Sounds like a fun race and some good feedback. I pretty much agree with everyones responses except the one about the regular C5's being nothing big. Sounds like you have a strong running car and just need to work on the traction side of the combination, that way I could be telling you good kill.

well
I have a video of an 03 cobra running a 12.9@117 and it had a pulley and thats it. It was running in 80-90's degree weather with high humidity.

I keep trying to find a z06 to run. I figure that car is about as fast down the old 1320 as my bike. So hopefully someday I'll get a chance to run one. Sounds like with a little tweaking you could bag this guy for sure.

No where on earth have I seen Z06's running 120+, or LS1 Vettes going 114. You sure live in freaksville.
And trust me I see the track fairly often. Skyler

Freaksville?
Hey Sky, where the heck is Freaksville? I might want to make a few passes there just to see if I can improve my time slips, LOL.

Location/conditions?
Last time I checked Skyman was in Cali and Aquaman was in Indi. Doubtful that they would run into each other at the track IMHO.
I'd bet conditions at the track vary some too. On one post, aquaman thought 14.0 was OK for LS1 F bodies. If I'm wrong here, please correct me. Rev

Auquaman, sorry you cant make the drive. But mod up your car all you want, the '03's are for real & will be able to earn respect of any real car/track enthusiast out there...sorry you cant get a race in with one yet...maybe they just want to break in their cars first & then go out & spank some GM's??? Later!
