OK I am going to clear up a few things in this thread. The car in the videos is my fathers. I am the one driving the 11.05 run and Ranger drove the 10.98 runs. This is the first time to the track for this car. I am not an experienced drag racer. In the past 10 years I have driven a manual tranny car at the drag strip only a hand full of times. Ranger was taking it very easy with the launch and 1-2 shift since he was guest driving the car. If you noticed, I actually got a slightly better 60' time on the street tires (then blew the 1-2 shift) than Ranger got on the drag radials. The drag radials did not go on the car until the very end of the day and the car had +20 runs on it with little cool down time. Ranger took 3 passes on the DRs and I took 2 passes. The car is different to drive than the Z06 so we were taking the day to learn the best launch method and shift points. The opinion of Ranger is that the ZR1 is faster and that with a little more time in the car and more cool down a 10.6 or better on DRs should not be a problem and 10.8 or better on street tires with a mph in the 133-134 range in great weather. The Z06 times that Ranger and Jamie got were in near perfect weather and after 50+ passes of learning the car. My first time out (the 11.05 @ 129 bone stock run) I beat every known bone stock Z06 time except one, Jamie's. There was a bone stock Z06 with us at the track that day driven by a guy who is a more experienced driver than me. He ran a 11.429 @ 124.88 which was good for 7th on the C6Z06 fast list. I think that is a pretty good comparison of the ZR1 and Z06. We plan to have the car back out to the track in the fall or earlier if we can get good weather. We are pretty much stuck with doing private rentals since there is no cage in the car. Also fyi, this car dynoed at 550 rwhp (on a dynojet) and the worse I have seen is in the 530 rwhp range.
