[QUOTE=NineBall;1588631026]Thanks Dennis.

You C7Z fans will be well represented. Danny at Lethal Performance is one of the best manual drag racers in the country. He shifts faster than I do. I would like to pilot a willing C7Z, myself. Would be funny to hit 10s first in a Viper, and the Z06 too. [/

Agreed. .Danny can drive!

Well - you can add first well documented C7 Z06 1/4 mile runs to your roll race video. Same track conditions, same day is as good as it gets.

No matter what anyone else is saying - I appreciate the effort and I believe the information is very worth-while.

I agree it will be a blast. I've never run at this track as Baytown gets all of or traffic usually so we'll see how it hooks. Should have a nice cross section of cars and driver skill level.

Yep... put up or shut up time. People said "take it to the track." Now it will be. And knowing the reputation of those involved, we won't get just the _worst time_ or the _best time_ by the cars... but the entire sampling of runs.

And regardless of what each car runs... they are all amazing, fantastic cars. This is what all the moaners and gripers are missing, IMHO.

Hopefully the C7Z owners know how to prepare the car for drag racing, the properly prepare cars will have the advantage, I do not know Tony but from his threads he knows what he is doing and his car will be properly prepared

Hopefully any Corvette or Viper fanboys/trolls will be able to digest the data we collect tomorrow, and watch the videos without making excuses for either camp.

Same track. Same day. Same driver, if people are willing to toss keys.

Tony


Make sure some of you C7 Z06 guys toss Nineball the Keys, so we really know the car was properly driven down the old 1,320.
