Evening Guys! Well tonight after seeing Hurley's runs... I figured I'd better step it up!

So... 5,000 RPM Launch... 1st pass of the night... in AZ... DA Calc's were saying 2,200 ft above sea level at the track...

Car flatout WENT! 9.86 @ 145! Spun the tires a hair on the 2nd gear shift...

A couple of people hopefully got videos... but I'll post what I have when I get them.

The 1.50 60' felt amazing! Other than I was staged against a Top Fuel Dragster! So not quite as impressive as his 1.1 60'! haha!

Peace,
Dave

Not a ton to 'see/hear'... but it's the only video I got at this time. You'll notice the announcer saying 'WOW, that corvette needs to get checked out....' he went on to say 'I don't think it's stock' haha

Congrats!! That dragster didn't run away from you. I cant believe that they staged it against you?

Dave Schotz

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't to thrilled about it either! But they had so many delays, I figured oh well, just focus on my own run!

DebRedZR1

Awesome! Congrats Dave!

Hurley1

Hell yes man!!!!!!! Welcome to the club brother

Dave Schotz

Thanks Deb! Thanks Matt!

Matt it was your post of launching at 5000rpm that inspired me to "just do it"!

Best Regards,
Dave

BullDozer

Congrats on going 9's!

I am usually down there in my C6Z, but I am throwing in a new clutch right now. Here is a crappy video I got of your run.

Dave Schotz

Thanks! Yep, fully streetable, fully loaded 3ZR package! I just close the stock mufflers and it drives like a stock zr1!

Bulldozer, I'll pm yeah, thanks for the copy! Good luck on the clutch swap!

Congrats!

It's not often you get to stage against a dragster and to run a 9sec pass doing so... just AWESOME!!!

Dave Schotz

Enuf, thanks! You wouldn't be the same guy that lives in Shelby Township, MI that sold me a Pewter 2000 lightly use C5 Hardtop would you?

Here's a shot of the 1-2 shift and shooting flames out the exhaust...
