RE: Watched a new Z06 at the track - Disappointed

i beleive this is the best stock z06 time there is (i don't see a car with drag radials as stock personally)

this is what i see as the actual fastest stock because it is on stock rubber too.

Now THOSE are much more reasonable! 128mph is a HUGE difference from 135mph.

I still remember seeing that vid of a bone stock C6 Z06 w/ DR's running a 10.8 @ 135, the power is there, and they can do great things with a great driver

They simply don't trap 135, regardless of how much or how little traction there is.

My friend's twin-hellion cobra with 700rwhp hardly traps over 135 when driven by a competent driver.

I have to agree with you on that Sleeper....There is no way DR's are increasing a trap speed by almost 8-10mph..............Hell, I would'nt think DR's would do anything to a cars trap speed to begin with.............except have a killer ET...

still.... if it was an original Z06, the problem is clearly the driver not the car, so i wouldn't be disappointed with the Z

The only reason I said "disappointed" was because I was glad to finally see one run in person and I guess my expectations were let down. I'm sure it was just the driver. Hopefully next time I see one there,it will be driven by someone whoknows what there doing.
