from what i've seen they're in the 115-118 area depending on track conditions, weather, etc. stones car is doing 11.6's with 116 traps but i think that the heavier the car, the more mph it needs to run a certain time. so I would imagine it would need a 120+ trap to do mid 11's.

Yep, the heavier the car.... and for the record. the Flex with me in it tips the scales at 5140 pounds! She's a big girl! LOL (ok, so i'm a big guy too!)

Yea, i hear you on the weight, stones a couple hundred lbs lighter than the new gens. The best ET ive seen is 11.9 @ 115 on drag radials...wtf. With that being said your numbers would be right on for a zl1 to hit mid 11s, weight is really holding this car back.

True. Even if someone did get it down to an 11.6-11.8 with a crazy 60', I'm sure that 115mph trap would take a hell of a hit.

3V, I hope I'm closer to 400lbs lighter!

Honestly im thinking your moe like 600-700lbs lighter if not more. Isnt the average curb weight for your car around 3350ish? Ive seen those zl1s weighing in around 4100-4200!

Yea, somewhere around 3400, everyone will give you a different number. Still can't believe how damn heavy the new Maros are.
