Good question - I'll have to confirm the slips when I get home, but the best I could get was a 10.7ish @149+ with something like a 2.++ 60'.
I butchered the start (1st and 2nd), but got better on the back end (3rd and 4th). Like I said originally, this car takes serious seat time to get the hang of the launch and the ability to shift quickly all the while being sucked into the seat. Also, FWIW, you have to take into account that I've only done the 1/4 two times in my life - this being the second and the only time I've done it with drag radials. The first time I went was in 2009 and my best time with 700ish rwhp on NT-05s (not NT-05r) was 10.5 @ 141 with a 1.9 60' (see here - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...g-radials.html )

Many thanks - I still can't believe that I daily drive a 10 sec (and perhaps 9 second) car to/from work, groceries, etc etc. Great fun for sure.
ECS is installing the 5 point cage soon then putting in the powerglide for the LSX shootout. How cool would it be to have a 8 sec time slip

zr1 half shafts and pic of zr1 diff left output shaft. this all done on a 2.25 60ft. my guess that the damage might have been started during crazy 46mph back half of the 1/4
