ZO6 at the track on Satuday

exgmguy · 04-16-2001, 03:35 PM

Saw a nice black ZO6 at the strip Saturday. I thought it would be a lot faster. It was running 12.8-13.0's at 111-112 all day. I never got to run him, but I do have the whole day on video.

I know he was not a pro driver, but i've read these stories of ZO6's trapping almost 120 mph totally stock.

Not this one anyway.

Who's driving can make the diff.

Do you think you'd be able to post a clip of the Z06 running on the track?

12.8? That's bloody fast, for a tamed daily driver?!

Funny how nobody asks for time slips anymore, nobody can argue with Video Clips, eh? Lizard?

If I had a way to convert it from my Hi-8 Sony I would.

Talk to Lizard King, that's exactly what we converted our mpegs from.

120mph traps for a Z06. No way. The best i've ever seen is 113-114. Its only got 385hp and weighs in about 150+ lighter than a C5. The viper will kill it in the 1/4mile with its 120mph traps.
The guy was prob. not the best driver but not bad either.
cheers

Z06s get another 20hp bump, 405hp, for next year.

I have been dying to spank one of these cars on the street. At least now I know I can for sure.

UHHHHH What is a Z06??

91evilstang - a Z06 is a Corvette with a
special package that, amongst other things, has 385hp.

You can tell one from it's special magnesium rims, it's red brake calipers & blacked out "air inlet" in front of the rear tires.

exgmguy, just buy your self a TV in card. They allow you to capture video. If you get the ATI TV WONDER(should be about $70US), don't get value edition... it doesn't capture, only tunes to TV.

Get the full edition. Got some more questions about this issue, just let me know.
