Default Drag Strip Shoot-Out

Be prepared for more videos and data. Cars participating so far, but we are still looking for a stock ZR1 to join.

Hopefully any Corvette or Viper fanboys/trolls will be able to digest the data we collect tomorrow, and watch the videos without making excuses for either camp.

Same track. Same day. Same driver, if people are willing to toss keys.

EDIT 05-Jan: RESULTS here!

Three supposed to show up. One other local C7Z guy couldn't make it.

Nspec
Whitehead Motorsports
Lethal Performance

Those three should be attending. Not sure on Robe38 or Zhopper yet.

That Audi R8 is a bit out of its league signing up for that race haha. Cant wait for the results! I unfortunately think the one one the M7 Z06 is beating in that line=up is the R8. A8 Z06 might be a different story.

Looking forward to it, was hoping it would dry up for us a bit. DA looks like it should be decent so I expect good trap speeds for everyone if they can keep from spinning.

Me too that's my only concern. It will be dry but we have had about two weeks straight of rain and drizzle, so everything in Houston is damp and messy. Hopefully it will be prepped well.

Like I told Tony in PM, the weather had put a damper on my work schedule the past few days, I am trying to get caught up over the weekend. I will definitely try to make it if I can.

wow

cant wait for the results too!


Aventador or Huracan will be the faster for the stock car... may be the modded ZR1 can be the fastest if he can put the power down!

Tony I'll make a phone call to see if a customer of mine would be interested. He has a stock '10 ZR1.

With 1.92 60ft the new Z should be in 11.X sec and 12Xmph.
The new Huracan must beat the new C7Z badly in high speed rolling start races.
I don't want to see this race please

Thanks Dennis.

You C7Z fans will be well represented. Danny at Lethal Performance is one of the best manual drag racers in the country. He shifts faster than I do. I would like to pilot a willing C7Z, myself. Would be funny to hit 10s first in a Viper, and the Z06 too.
