Finally Got Into the 9's!
 

Evening Guys! Well tonight after seeing Hurley's runs... I figured I'd better step it up! :)

So... 5,000 RPM Launch... 1st pass of the night... in AZ... DA Calc's were saying 2,200 ft above sea level at the track...

Car flatout WENT! 9.86 @ 145! Spun the tires a hair on the 2nd gear shift...

A couple of people hopefully got videos... but I'll post what I have when I get them.

The 1.50 60' felt amazing! Other than I was staged against a Top Fuel Dragster! So not quite as impressive as his 1.1 60'! haha!

Peace,
Dave

Not a ton to 'see/hear'... but it's the only video I got at this time. ;) You'll notice the announcer saying 'WOW, that corvette needs to get checked out....' he went on to say 'I don't think it's stock' :) haha

Congrats!! That dragster didn't run away from you. I cant believe that they staged it against you?

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't to thrilled about it either! But they had so many delays, I figured oh well, just focus on my own run!

:smash::woohoo::cheers: Awesome! Congrats Dave!

Hell yes man!!!!!!! Welcome to the club brother :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :willy: :flag:

Thanks Deb! Thanks Matt!

Matt it was your post of launching at 5000rpm that inspired me to "just do it"!

Best Regards,
Dave

Great run Dave! :thumbs:

That's what's up!!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

Congrats. Amazing run.

Nicely done! Is it still fully streetable???

Congrats on going 9's! :cheers:

I am usually down there in my C6Z, but I am throwing in a new clutch right now. Here is a crappy video I got of your run.

Thanks! Yep, fully streetable, fully loaded 3ZR package! I just close the stock mufflers and it drives like a stock zr1!

Bulldozer, I'll pm yeah, thanks for the copy! Good luck on the clutch swap!

Dave

Congrats! :thumbs:

It's not often you get to stage against a dragster and to run a 9sec pass doing so... just AWESOME!!! :cheers:

Enuf, thanks! You wouldn't be the same guy that lives in Shelby Township, MI that sold me a Pewter 2000 lightly use C5 Hardtop would you? :cheers:

Here's a shot of the 1-2 shift and shooting flames out the exhaust...

very cool ! congrats :thumbs:

Congrats Dave great run.
Next time get some in-car footage :D

Congrats. :cheers:
You refined the launch technique and came out a little harder.
Well done. :thumbs:

Dave-- No I never sold or owned a C5 hardtop.

Nice. Congrats!
