Half Mile Speeds vs C6ZR vs C7Z
Guesses what stock the C7ZR should hit vs the others. Of course there are the Manual vs Auto, and Aero, wing debates 
It was so easy with the C6s.
Doubtful I will have mine prior to Battlecreek Half Mile in July but Wanna Go Fast and Speed Society are coming to Indiana
Or Ocala this Fall.

Deb there's basically zero information to go off of at this point, any talk is going to be speculation. But I might as well speculate along with the rest 
so here goes...
In the 1/4, Autos will run 10.3-10.6 consistently with faster drivers, slower drivers will still get 10s though likely 10.9s and 10.8s. They'll trap 135-138. I don't think you're going to seen 140+ like some have said, if they did trap 140+ then I think they'd be running 9.7-9.9s which is too fast for this car in stock form. No way it's getting there on stock rubber especially. A 720S which is 400 pounds lighter and makes 690-710 RWHP with crazy consistent launches and boost by gear is running 9.7-9.9s at 142+. I don't see 3600 pounds, more drag, less power, bad launch characteristics of Corvettes (Part of the RWD + Front engined), getting near that.
In the 1/2 mile, I see then running 155-160 MPH. That's a few MPH faster than a C7Z/C6 ZR1 speeds. These cars are going to have a lot of downforce and drag, especially with the big wing, and they're not the lightest thing out there at 3600 pounds.
There's my speculation. By the way, did you get my PM?
