I bought some pictures from Krookid Photography today ( https://www.facebook.com/KrookidPhotography ), he took over 3600 pictures at the No Fly Zone Arizona 1/2 mile races in Gila Bend, AZ - this is my favorite of my Z06 vs. a Nissan GT-R.

Nice!

What was the fastest NA Z06 trap there?

AZDANZ06

Not sure, there were quite a few Z06's and did not know all of their mods. I ran 150.70 MPH bone stock with just a CAI.

~160 for a 600rwhp heads/cam setup.

Hmm wonder what I'd run out in AZ. Maybe next time I'll drive out.

Gila Bend is 735 Ft Elevation, temps should be good in February/March when they are hoping to do this again.

damn i did 158 standing at the wanagofast in chicago this summer at 500rwhp id like to travel around and see how my car does at different elevations it seems to kill power

Unreal

I don't think it was as much elevation as traction. High HP cars couldn't get on it till well down the runway because of traction issues. Different surfaces, different traction.

huh im like 800-900 FT in the chicago land area and it was 90-92 deg when i ran i got hooked on this it was so much fun and sooooo many badass cars

ian08

very true i do hook first

I left my traction control on and still spun in 2nd a bit.

Might make the drive out its 370 miles from me. I was trapping 168mph spinning at the event in Coalinga

HOXXOH

The difference is in the launch skills of a standing start vs extreme HP rolling starts.
I've run low 11's at 124 with 400 HP, while a 1000 HP car struggled to squeeze into high 12's but ran 140+.
Lots of the rolling start cars also have too much HP to match traction and ability. It's only about MPH, rather than who gets there first, but 1/2 mile gives big HP extra time to make up for launch deficiencies.

Cool picture from the day
