Sorry, I've been down in the Caribbean and only occasional wifi.
Didn't record any of the racing that weekend. There might be some YouTube videos of NMCA Bradenton out there that might have caught the Trackhawk and Demon.

It's an M7 issue all of them have it! The tall 1st gear doesn't 60 ft well.
That was the Z06. Now even more weight out front and same gearing
and more rubber on the front. It will not be deep is the 10's nor upper 130's.. Highway monster but not a great 1/4 mile car! The A8 will be better.

I really don't understand this train of thought.. Several people put the C6 ZR1 into the 10's on stock tires. The C7 has over 100WHP more with just a minor weight difference. I guarantee I would put one into the 10's within a few passes on any decent track and DA. I'd put money on it.

1/4 mile times are a place where the new ME C8 is going to be FAR superior to the C7.
Expect the 1/4 mile times of even the base model C8 to be astounding, if other ME platforms are any indication at all.

FWIW These are street cars.
130 mph in the quarter is good, yes?
I'd be pretty happy with that, even w/ a bad launch and all.
What cars do 140 or 150 in the qtr?

The Ford GT and Gallardo Perfromante are in the mid 130's.
The GT2RS and Ferrari 488 Pista should at least be in the high 130's on street tires, no prep. Most likely they'll run away from the ZR1 past about 120mph. Then again, you're not driving away without paying at least $350K for either.

C6ZR1 is a lot lighter car. Mine never made 10's
Slightly faster stock than my Z06 but after just a Halltech on the Z06 the tables I feel had turned.
The ZR1 A8 will not be disappointing! The ZR1 M7 will be killer on the rack.

I'm really disappointed that the ZR1 is not really that much faster than a ZO6 especially when you have to pay $40,000 extra !!!!!!

Yes but Tadge said the Z06 feels sluggish compared to the ZR1. He said sluggish . I am sure the ZR1 is faster for sure but the Z06 SLUGGISH!:

At the track when the faster car sometimes loses. You can hide a slower car with a fast 60ft at the track. That gets exposed on the 3 honk race! Traction and 60ft is the 1/4 mile race

A front engine design can't afford enough rear weight bias to truly put that much power down from a start, rolling or otherwise. At speed, the extra horses and down-force come into play.
