And last, the music still sucks.
What more prove than my dyno run unless you are blind.That run that you did 138 your ET was 11.3 that means you was speening tire thats the reason of 138. You need to go back to Hennessey and spend some more $$$$ so one day you could be next to me on the track. The good thing is that I do this on my back yard, and not need to pay any body. I already working on my next step, and I'm sorry for the music but this is Miami and we do have a life here.

Maybe less wrenching and rap/hip hop music and more schooling? Seriously, your grammar (speelling and riteing) are barely grade 2 equivalent. I am sure you are an educated man, maybe just LAZY???

How exactly did you come to that conclusion? Have you seen both cars? The OP's car made 700 at the wheels and Hennessey's made 59x.

Why does anyone care who is first or last to do anything, much less make a HP number? Talk about a false sense of identity.

Well, having been on this forum for a while, it has always been like this and it always will be. You should of seen the Cartek versus everybody else wars, they were classics. Then there were the "we are the quickest headers, cam, intake Vette in the World" then the reply would be "Oh yea?, we are the quickest cam, headers, Hurst shifted Vette in the world"
The funniest thing I like that is still the same is the phrase "In the world" Like they know how quick every single Vette in the world is.
Not every quick Vette knows or cares about the Corvette Forums quick list.

I think his grade 2 education is the result of listening to the rap music. Or, the other way around.

Looks to me like they were having traction issues on the dyno. I know all the big hp Supra guys have this problem and need to resort to extra weight in the hatch. Was this necessary at all here?

No excuse at all, Google toolbar has spell check, that would help 80%. If he is of another land, we can work around the Grammar, no excuse for the spelling though, too many easily downloaded programs to spell check quickly and effortlessly. It is pure laziness or lack of respect.

Iam not going to bicker over the numbers. One persons dyno compared to anothers can be off. To me...the dyno is great and all but really doesn't prove a thing. All I was really pointing out was the unpolished ZR1, I saw in the video that was put up. Plain and simple. I saw their video, I saw Hennessey's. I know Iam not the only one, cause some others have spoke out about it too. Saying the cam doesn't sound tuned right and that the car was having trouble idle'ing. Its great they ran the numbers they did at the track. The car definitely has more in it though and the tune to be improved upon. Like I have said all along....to each their own.

Its going to be interesting to see what happens in the future.

In all fairness, when someone enters the board boasting numbers about “quickest” and “fastest” they need to be prepared for skepticism and challenges to their claim. With that in mind, if 1 BAD ZR1 did 138 @ 11.x it’s still 138, even if it’s not pretty.

Again I wish you luck, keep us informed on your progress

Wow people on here feel a lot better about themselves criticizing someone else's grammar instead of criticizing what everyone is on here for, the car, a CORVETTE. Some of us weren't born into this country and some of us don't really care and have the need to write so gramatically correct when posting on a forum. Is there a button on here where I can send my post to the editor-in-chief before it gets posted?

And numbers are numbers, we are just having fun pushing the limits to our ZR1 on our own. And this isn't the only car we have worked on in the past.

Please don't use your buddies "race" card on us now that your posting for him. It isn't the grammar,we can live with that, it is his atrocious spelling. All he has to do after he writes his post, is hit "SPELL CHECK" before he hits the submit button, it is common courtesy. Doesn't matter what country your from. Download this tiny little program and he will be posting like everybody else here who are from many, many different countries. For Internet Explorer: http://toolbar.google.com/T5/intl/en/index.html

For Firefox: http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/.../en/index.html

WOW ok guys the guy isn't obviously from here and doesn't have the most perfect grammar. It will be ok
loosen up, it seems like this is turning into a pissing match. He is obviously doing well for himself if he can get a ZR1 and mod it and not worry about breaking it. His is obviously not going to be a garage queen.

As for the fastest ZR1, how about they line up next to each other and see who is faster? wouldn't that be easier?
