Wow incredible. As the DA goes more negative, more PB will show up. Awesome runs. Also wondering what rims and tires you are running?

Wow that's damn impressive for the M7. Congrats. Is this the fastest stock Z on DRs so far?

Thanks For all the kind words guys. I do think the car has a 10.20 in it but the stars will have to aline. The more I drive the car the faster me and the car get. I'll try again in the spring and see what we can do about that ZR1 record. The DA was -250 for this run I believe. We need some of that -2000 Da and we will have it.

Thanks
Jerry

135.7mph on your worst run...that's a serious trap speed for stock w/DR's...Nice job! The 10.31 is even more impressive...I think you're right, I think we might see 10.20's maybe teens...

Congrats!!!!!! Great passes!!!

I can't wait to get some DR passes in my car!


Unfortunately I sold my coupe M7 Z07 that I went the 10.89 in 100% bone stock, so I will have to do it in my M7 Vert that I have now

Wow those are some amazing times and MPH. Congrats!!! Keep up the fantastic work!
Even more impressive I shift my Honda faster than those passes show. Sh*t I might have to get one of these things for a month or two.



What factory option wheels are those fronts?

Would you tell us what you've figured out with the car to run such amazing times?
Engine temp?
93 octane fuel?
Weight reduction?
Launch technique?
Shift Rpms per gear?
Any logs of the run?
Etc
Please and thank you.
