Default Hertz ZHZ

I just ran a 12.62 at 114.85 in one today at the track. Just left it in D with the traction off. The car moves good. I could have most likely picked up a tenth with it in S but letting it shift itself. The line pressure gets jacked up a little in S so you get a little quicker shift. This option on a regular vette, headers, cam, intake, tune and gears and you would blow the doors off any stock Z06 run after run. I was really surprised at how strong the LS3 was stock and the trap speed for an automatic in the heat and dead nuts stock and crappy beat to death runflats.

If RANGER was driving a stock Z, you'd have to improve your time by about a second and a half to beat him in a quarter.

Your car was looking good at the track man! Me and a buddy (he's got a bike) were verrry close to going over there and racing but decided against it because we had to rely on them to get us 500mi home.

Just imagine cam, headers, intake on a ZO6. Now that would make you
