I was running 1:08, and didn't even know it. Some guy was timing me by the fence, and told me afterwards. Had I known I would have been pushing it harder. But my tires were cording, and I was only running 9/10th anyway.....

Hi,

My stock 1992 with 100,000 miles with Nitto R2s goes high 1:03s. I just had my Bilstein shocks revalved so maybe it will pick up a little next time out.

Brian S. (forum member) has a bone stone 2004 Z06 and goes very fast. Last time out he went mid 59s.

Allstate now has an exclusion, and the wording is very clear.
So I might as well buy a stop watch
Maybe even one of them fancy lap timers !!!

I ran a 59.099 last year on stock motor (01Z), open exhuast, Z06 suspension, with Hoosiers on 4 days. With new cam and suspension tweaks, new tires, I would be happy with 58 flat. We shall see in 2 weeks as I am signed up for CART North course again (Sept 1st).

Never been there in my Vette yet, but last year pulled a 1:03 in my brother's Honda S2000 with decent tires.

With HP, a good driver should easily be under 60 seconds..
