128 trap is serious. So much for the clowns who claim that the C8 "falls on its face" at 100 mph.

It was a good run, but keep in mind that in another post it was stated the DA was about 0 and the car does not have drag from the Z51's areo. A STOCK Z51 in warmer weather isn't going to trap close to that.

Yeah.......makes you wonder. I wouldl like to see the non Z51 and Z51 at the drag strip with equal drivers. For what little information that we have it appears that the non-z51 is showing a bit higher trap speed. And that is what GM claimed.

The best times are usually under the best of conditions. That's OK, it is what was possible for that car on that day in those conditions.
