Ranger ran an 11.3 with EMT's

1955 BelAir

I think he's gone 11.2 .. I'm sure he will chime in.

C5 Frank

11.2X is correct.... Not sure of mph... maybe around 127

Here is my progression in the C6Z, after 500 passes in C5Zs:

On drag radials
1st pass: 12.79 MIR day 1 clutch pedal hung on launch
2d pass: 11.60 MIR day 1
3d pass: 11.70 MIR day 1
4th pass: 11.58 MIR day 1 figured out the need to manage coolant temp
5th pass: 11.31 MIR day 1
6th pass: 11.65 MIR day 1 clutch pedal hung on launch
7th pass: 11.38 Capitol day 2
8th pass: 11.36 Capitol day 2
9th pass: 11.28 Capitol day 2
10th pass: 11.20 Capitol day 2

I then ran 8 straight passes on stock tires.

On stock tires
1st pass: 11.48 MIR day 3
2d pass: 11.40 MIR day 3
3d pass: 11.34 Cecil day 4
4th pass: 11.50 Cecil day 4
5th pass: 11.58 Capitol day 5 street night, damp launch area
6th pass: 11.69 Capitol day 5 street night, damp launch area
7th pass: 11.38 Cecil day 6
8th pass: 11.31 Cecil day 6

Hey guys keep the numbers coming I got some boys over on the 350Z forum thinking that the C6Z cant run 11's stock.

I only saw about an hour's worth of running on Friday, first the track lights didn't work, then the storm came, and then the cars got about an hour's worth of track time, and then I had to get back to work. But during the brief time I was there I saw about four different C6Z's run. I can't say if they were stock or not, but I think they were. But the times I saw (from four different cars) were:

1. 12.0
2. 12.4
3. 12.3
4. 12.2

All cars were in the 120+

Now, the weather was bad, looked like newbie drivers. Even still, with stock cars and non-professional drivers, those times are still impressive.

Thats because in the hands of most drivers ... its a low 12 second car.

Some of the better drivers are getting high 11's ( 11.7-8).

Then, Ranger and few others at the top of the racing pyramid are a half-second better yet.

I think Ranger can drop it down to 11.0-11.1 this fall ... when conditions are optimal

Pio

Just like the previuos Z06, the average drivers could get a 12.6 to 12.8, the good ones 12.3's to 12.4's & the really good drivers 11.8 to 12.0 (Ranger ran an 11.8 and GMHTP Mag ran an 11.9, both box stock).

The only thing that migh keep Ranger from the 11.0 slip in the 06 is that he gets booted from the track because of the lack of a roll cage, with more time I bet he could do it.

bernrex

Thats gonna be a factor. It certainly limits his ability to get in alot of practice runs at his local tracks.

But, what also may keep him away from the low 11's is the TM factor. Notice his runs with DR's only gained him 0.1 second. As the traction improves with better tire grip ... the computer makes him pay a severe timing retard penalty.

Also the clutch won't allow him to aggressively launch above 3600 Revs, and won't slip as much as he would like it to.

Here is what I see with my own eyes at the track.


New Drivers: high 11's to low 12's
Good Drivers: 11.5 to high 11's
Excellent Drivers : Ranger = 11.3 (and gettin better probably)

I've personally seen decent drivers rip off 11.5s on a stock c6 z06 at capital raceway.
