Whats the best time/trap for the 'stock' ZR1 car ?

Vette X 3

Someone on this net is the AHRA record holder, I believe. Can't remember who it is, but I'm sure he'll chime in. Think he nailed it on his first ever trip to a drag strip. Wish I could recall his name..

I dont know and I have never really cared I mean how can you prove "its the fastest" the car has been around for 17 years thats alot of drag racing and who knows????

Seems some people have claimed to reeled off some high 12s at 110 mph+. Many varibles to consider when getting the perfect 1/4 mile run with a ZR-1. Stocked motor cars have been in the low 12's.

What would it do before the mods ?

High or mid 12's ? Also, with 405 HP ... the car should trap 115 or better. My LS1 vette trapped 110-111 .. with 350 HP.

The problem is, the chances of a 'pure stock' ZR-1 being run for lowest ets(pronounced high RPM launches and powershifting)is pretty slim these days. Pure stock ZR-1s are for the most part super low-mileage garage queens purchased as an 'investment.' They won't ever see a 1/4 mile track.

Most ZR-1s that are driven with relative frequency at *least* have an exhaust. That said, I'd be willing to bet the overwhelming majority of C5/Z06 owners who claim 'stock' also have a cat-back exhaust.

That said, I've been involved in ZR-1s since '92 or so. The ones who knew how to drive them back then could repeatedly turn 12.7-12.9 at 111-113mph(this was pre 405hp LT5s), bone stock. I don't recall anyone running a 'drag radial' or bias ply tire in the early 90s.

I maintain that a perfectly tuned 94-95 ZR-1, on a good tire, in mineshaft air, could eek out a high 11 at 115 or so mph.

My 90 with drag radials and flowmaster ran 12.67 at 112. No other mods.

Don't know, I bought it that way.

I remember well. How have you been? Still need to hook up for that beer! A buddy of mine mentioned he met you at the Sud's a short while back. He had the --------cough--------white Viper.

I have owned several ZR 1's, 9 in fact and still own an 850 original mile 90 ZR1 as I type this. The fastest I personally have gone in a stocker is my 94 ZR1 which ran a 12.36 at 116 mph bone stock back in 94. But I have had a 91 that I owned for several years and low miles 6k that had 4.09 rear, Borla cat backs and Doug Rippie Chip that would run consistent 12.0's at 117, 118 and ran a best of 11.96 at 118 with drag radials.
