There is no doubt those low 10's were 'hero' runs...so was the 10.41 on stocks tires and so was the 10.66 that the C6ZR1 ran...and so was the 10.98 that the C6Z06 ran. There will always be hero runs. That just shows what it's capable of in 'perfect' conditions, which is what most 'record' runs are set in, in any sport.
But, I think I was pretty clear when I said: 'avg. 134-135mph...BUT on a hero run probably 140mph.
Either way, the car will be fast...very fast...esp. with the small wing.
Side Note: The 720s qtr time is utter insanity. Seriously wow. Took the P1 and La Ferrari 150-200hp more to run the same number...

Interesting how many auto media have tried to get the Demon into the 9’s and failed, with many running about 10.5 second/quarters.

Tadge said the onstar gps will reduce the hp by about half, on the ZR1, when it detects it's at a dragstrip. He stated they did it because they wanted people to take them to circuits where they belong.
Tadge is a sneaky guy.

The is a Corvette forum, ZR1 Section. The Demon is a different class of car called a heavy *** muscle car. The ZR1 has much more performance in any sports car metric. Hwy romps will have the demon will be sucking dust and trying to keep the ZR1 taillights in sight!
