Default My C6 ZR1 at the dragstrip.

Was out at Byron Dragstrip this past Sunday, let my sons drive the ZR1 with no burn out and T/C on, walked out the hole and still run the best of 11.8 @ 126, car has more in it for sure!

Will be posting up later my C4 ZR-1 VS the C6 ZR1

Hey JumboJet, "other vids" comming soon as well see other forum buddy.

Here is the video of my two ZR1s

Not the best pass for either car, The C4 ZR-1 Normally runs low 12's at High 118mph to 119mph, not bad for an old car

Default UPDate!

Well Went back to the drag strip this past Saturday (11-6-10), and was able to run a new PB of 11.0 @ 129.87!
Car is complety 100% bone stock! My buddy who has a black/black bonestock 2010 ZR1 went 11.0's and his best MPH 131.9!
I plan on going back to the track this upcomming Sunday (11-14-10) to get that 10second pass.

PS. Hey Jumbo, the GTO ran 10.9 @124 N/A!

Wow. Bad *** Ernie! The Goat is a beast. What was your 60'?? Bring that ZR1 to the land of Atco and you'll be going well over 131 MPH I'd bet. I gotta stop hanging in the ZR1 forum LOL.

What did the "old" LT5 run?

I do plan on going out to Atco hopefully this December with the GTO to meet up with the "big dogs"!

The best 60 for the gto that day was 1.463.

The OLD LT5 is down for a waterpump rite now but soon will be back up and running. Plan to put a good tire on it and get her in the 11's

Great vid of your the c4 Z and your c6 Z. The c4 hung in there pretty darn good. I had a 91 c4 z and it easily ran high 12's without having to abuse it to get in to the 12s. very good and reliable car never had a single mechanical problem. only repair in 13 years of ownership was a speaker amp.

When I used to park my c4 Z next to a c5 or c6, i used to marvel and how much smaller the overall dimensions of it seemed to look compared to the c6 or c5.
