I don't buy it. You got a bolt on 2002 Z28 automatic, 4k stall, claiming to leave at a "soft" 1.6 second 60' (on a stock 4l60e transmission, not exactly a strong selling point). I had a Z28 with almost the exact mods. It made 350 at the tire, and even with a 1.7 60', it only went 12.7 at 109. It was a 98 with inferior heads and intake mani, but those two drawbacks don't justify the 1 second gap here. My question.... is this craigslist guy full of it, or is this plausible and I just suck?

I used to have a 98 Z28, and it was great and all, but i'm not buying this either.

Yeaaa, I didn't think any of that sounded right. Just wanted to double check myself and run it by you guys.

i think the times not right. but my buddies t/a has 327whp and kept up ok with my '95. I only put a couple cars on it, so it could possibly trap 110-112. it's only bolt ons/3.73/3k stall

Several possibilities here that maybe you could rule out.

Consider... Stock c5 z06 making roughly 350rwhp has run 11s in perfect conditions on a 1.7-1.9 60ft.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-z...fast-list.html

At 3100lbs it's possible to pull it off on street radials.... I missed his dyno numbers? He had a number of the tittle but they could be mustang dyno numbers. That car honestly should be making more than 350rwhp on a dyno jet and I know there was an 02 car with headers, dr and no tune that went 12.2 @ 114mph not long ago. I honestly can see this happening on the 40 degree air claimed (da would have been well under sea level).

Just some thoughts there...

yep.. he had negative DA from the sound of it. I think that is a really low ET For his trap, I really don't think he has any more in it like he claims.


also, a tune only 5.0 is faster so who cares?

all the 5.0s i've seen in the 11s are trapping 116-118...

5.0s are badass, but they'll never be touched by our almighty Lord like Elis Juan has.
