No that makes sense then, from 40-140 I would have shifted twice where as he would have shifted 3-4 times depending on how long we went into 140s. He started in first and I was in second. I shift to third around 70 and forth around 103. I think forth is good up to around 150.

Hey Stig,
Nice run with the GT500.. sounds like FUN!! The close races are the best.
Just a little info for reference purposes for ya... IF the GT500 had a CAI, it had to have a tune. K&N says you dont have to have a tune with their CAI, but they are wrong. Car runs too lean and is not good for it. The stock pulley diameter is right at 3". The smaller pulley is 2.6", and adds 4psi.
My car ran 97-98 in the 1/8th with just a pulley/CAI/tune on drag radials once I figured out how to drive it. Adding a lower pulley and off-road X-pipe and it went 101.50. On street tires it would slip and slide to 92-93 mph passes. Completely stock on street tires I went 88mph.
It sounds like he had a tune & CAI, and if the blower was whining that loudly, it probably had a pulley as well... I though mine was ear piercing after adding a smaller pulley lol.
Again, really cool story. I would say a lot of the GT500 guys (if they are honest about it) are BIG fans of the Z06. I know I am...

Thanks, don't you know you shouldn't have been racing on St. Patrick's day though, lmao.
Love your car, my first was a custom yellow 1970 Camaro so the color brings back memories too. I rented a C6 in Vegas last year, but, it was an auto which made it hard to love. The feel of the Vette is very nice and I would love to drive a standard Z. Nice runs, and good post.......let's see some vids 
Thanks, I always enjoy reading your post as well.

Yeah, I am sure he had a pulley, tune & cai after reading more about it. The whine was defiantly loud, I loved it though lol. Thank you, I am a big fan a the GT500s too. They look even better in person!

1st gear 8.1inches 7.7 mph 50.05 mph
2nd gear 11.6 inches 11.0 mph 71.5 mph

I grabbed them here... I would think they would be accurate.
