If you were running those times here in Albuquerque 5320ft at the track i would say those are GREAT times, Whats the track elevation at Flints.

Awesome times bro, those LS3s really do move but they're certainly not as reliable/maintenance free as those very daily drivable Ferraris and of course not nearly as good handling/balanced as those ultra lightweight GT500s.
Congrats on the new car and blistering track times.

I have to say that after reading though your posts, most asked for time slips.

Then your Ferrari 360 story of 11.3.

Lets have a look:

http://www.dragtimes.com/Ferrari-360-Timeslip-8801.html
Yes it is a dyno, but much lower than most 06's.

http://www.ferrari-wiki.com/wiki/Ferrari_360
specified here a 1/4 mile time of 12.3, which is very good, but not 11.3

Here is a Spider:
http://www.dragtimes.com/Ferrari-360-Timeslip-920.html

12.2.

I don't see no 11.3.

LS1LT1 Ran a 12.2 in a bone stock 06 A6 (I think).

Before you rant on everyone here, why not at least get your facts straight.

I am sure that the older 360 is faster than the newer 430.

However, there is no way for him to get facts straight that don't exist. The guy's a troll. Rich

GT500:

Quarter-Mile: 12.257 @ 117.180

Z06:
11.8 seconds at 122 mph.

Both Stock.

The GT500 clan is putting kenne bell superchargers in to be a stock Z06.
That is the only way they are doing it.

Stock for stock mod for mod.

Go against a Lingenfelter Z06, or even a TT or Supercharged Z06.

Good luck.
