Umm... He was running in NJ so he would make a trip south to go to MIR. The air was very good and it looks like Atco had better traction than MIR did this past Sun.

Awsome pass. I would put some better info on the YT video though. There is a ton on people that would like to know the specifics with such a great time. I wouldnt give a **** about this LIST rules crap. The fact is your Z06 "stock" with drag wheels did what it did and thats that.

Personally, I too could care less about his tire change....WGAS. I've been known to run around and drive all over the place on my drag package...though I am more careful in my driving (not like I'm going "carving" through the mountain canyon roads ). In the end, what was/is under the hood remains bone stock...and that is VERY impressive.

Don't much care if it had mountain bike tires on it...IT was a fast run period!!
#207
Although even they seem to be a little light on turnout in this thread. They usually avoid threads with anything positive and save their posts for the "problem" threads.
#208
Nothing to do with the viper or c6! That's a FAST run period!!! If you decide to mod your car you have a great baseline to start with! If not your still driving a low 10 sec car that's stock!!! Congrats

Please point out which c6 "haters" have been saying anything negative about the run. The question of the front wheels was orginally asked by Snorman.

I really think you could have the fastest bone stock Corvette time in HISTORY! If you put your PSC2 tires back on, and post a low to mid 10.5x time, you will be faster than the fastest bone stock ZR1, and thus the fastest Corvette off the showroom floor of ALL TIME!

Quick on the other hand is a measurement of acceleration. So when referring to times recorded in the 1/4 mile, the measurement is quick. And I completely agree with what you were saying though. I'd just state it differently. If he puts the stock wheels back on and then goes 10.5x or better. Then he will have the QUICKEST showroom stock Corvette of all time!

Well, in all fairness to the C6-Z folks (you may call them "haters"), this is not an "apples to apples" comparison since the C6-Z could not be had in an automatic version.

Yeah, I can see the automatic transmission factored into that comment. /sarc off

Damn skippy. If we're going to be so picayune in our assessment of the OP's accomplishment (ie.-front wheels not "stock") then the difference of a car with a clutch verses one that is stab and go is not significant (albeit C7 verses C6)? Give me a break. I think we both know its conjecture, but I could point to countless posts within this thread that are full of equal conjecture.

I will say I am growing partial to "white" C7Z's with the A8. Now we know white is the fastest! thats a fact.
that will be in my santa christmas wish list.
A c6Z owner that says this is not an apples to apples comparison is not thinking logically.

Right on!
And excuse me I probably should stay off when I'm tired. But, I do think I had a valid overall point! Good Luck!

B.S. needs to be cleared up. But, you get my point overall I think. Those guys have access to great air so all things being equal <10s from one of those great driving guys!

Wait I'm sorry are you calling me a liar? lol I put a video up how much more proof do you want? I even broke everything down in a earlier post for this exact reason stating the facts, you got some set of *****. I also stated that I was doing 1000 things and will give more details when I was available, didnt get home from Atco untill 10pm and had work at 4:30am, so do yourself a favor buddy before you open your mouth and make ASSumptions, know what your talking about. You guys have fun with your list fighting I'll be the one making the passes.
Really!? lol out of all that, that is all you have to come back at me with? Dude you're a joke. Do yourself a favor and move on. You added your 2 cents, yea yea yea we get it that you try to be some mad scientist with track times, and racing, and all the know how and made up formulas etc etc. I'm not impressed
Proper skinnies usually -0.1 in ET. Not detracting from your time mind you..And you are right, a 20 minute tire swap and a 10.38 is GREAT off the showroom floor....with better times to come I'd say!
He didn't say he wanted to be on any fast list, and as mentioned above, the way they've been set up is no category for only a 4 tire swap...but that is irrelevant in the OP's performance!
