Good kill! That ZR1 driver is the one that should be running, ducking and covering. That van is cool as hell.
agreed! he slept on the light and had a pretty poor 60' and I'm sure those giant wheels w/ NO sidewall helped
thats the most bad ass van I've seen tho, nice run!
The 13.0 of the zr1 was at that point his best pass of the night.
All the other c5's and c6's and even the c6 zo6's were slower then the zr1 except on zo6 that went 12.75.
twin turbo awd porche went 13.3x....
gtrs running 12.4's
heads cam, header, tune with tire G8 was slower at 13.5's
maggie g8 even slower
all 4th gens except one with a lsx 454 were slower...oh and I think one other that lost the trans,, it was a ta, with a stall, heads, cam, longtubes, tire,,etc....and goes mid 12's
modded na busa with 20 yr veteran drag racer ran 10.65 132 best...several 11.0 passes, and most the bikes were in the high 11's or 12's.
That was all last night....
I guess its not the track or air.....its that every last person cant drive....
I cant believe the zr1 gets excuses....the van was on 20's too.....and a win is a win. In the fi thread Im called lame for saying the van would destroy virtually all zr1 's on the street........well I d wager $$$ against as many zr1's as possible with any mods, as long as the oem tires are on it, and take my chances. All the power in the world doesnt help if you cant use it. The van will run basically exactly the same on the street and the vettes will just get slower even......and I was 4 tenths ahead still at 660 ft.....

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you! Look at the ZR1's 60-ft time...and trap vs. e.t....that run was less than par to say the least, even at 5000ft. You put a good driver behind the wheel of that car and that van would have seen taillights. A friend of mine owns a yellow ZR1 and can actually drive that thing. Wen't bottom 11's at over 130mph in stock trim. Maybe, just maybe I can pursuede him to make the trip to NV and take your money!
As a matter of fact i'm going to contact him now to see if he will chime on this discussion......

Id still do it for 660 ft on the street.....and even with a driver....its sounds close to me. That low 11 @ 130 turns into low 12 @ 120 in vegas at best....and it aint best. Its more like worse possible conditions......He spins and the 660 of the low 12 pass climbs right up to mid 8's real quick and its a race.

Exactly my point. Even at 5000ft he shouldn't have been anywhere in the 13's. You can win a lot of races running against drivers like that.

Judging from that 60' time I'd say the vette spun his ass off. Based on the opinion of alot of people in here spinning makes the trap speed shoot up, so I wonder why he was about 8 mph slower than he should have been
