What are you guys trapping at the mojave mile with your H/C Z's? I did a search and did not find much. I am thinking of trying it out this year and am curious what to expect. thanks

Small cam and no millimg or porting to the heads. I did 185.1 at the Texas Mile. Ball park

Damn 185 is moving! I take it that is not a stand still mile. I believe the mojave mile is from a stand still. The little info i found saw that stock ZR1's are trapping around 175-177 at best.

Come on So Cal guys jump in here.

Texas Mile is a standing mile. Dead stop to 1 mile

My stock 09 Z06 did the MM at 173.5. I'd say a mild cam and good tires will hook up to the mid 180's. Note the DA for the MM is typically about 3000'. They now usually run the 1 1/2 mile event the same weekend. I trapped at 196.5 with a tail wind. Cam'd should be over 200 and might challenge the 200 tech limit +5 over, so take that into account for tire rating and safety equipment required, rules are on line at mojavemile.com

Sounds about right. My car runs right next to my friends ZR1, both trap 133 at the drags and dead even on the highway, and he did 184.

The think the aero bits on the ZR1s sort of hurt them at 150+, great for track day downforce but bites into top end a hair at these events.

I'll be running the Michigan mile in june and will post vids and times afterwards.

I know this isn't exactly the information your looking for, but may be worth noting for comparison. I trapped 167.1 MPH last weekend at the Mojave Mile in an 03z that is stock. I did tape the gaps in the flip up lights, but I did not increase tire pressure, fold in the mirrors or use race gas.

Good run

Wow thats better than I would have thought for a stock 03 Z . Good run! Im going to try and make the Ohio mile this year with my car. Its apart right now getting a set of Trick Flow 220's from Brian Tooley and his Stg IV N/A cam, along with a FAST 92mm, dual disc clutch, trans rebuild, blah, blah, but still stock 346 short block. Its a 2000 FRC. Cant wait to see what it goes. You gave me some hope to see 170's. To the OP post up results if you go. Im curious as I am picking up a stock 07 C6Z next week.

My stock 09 Z did 173.5 at the MM (NT05's). It did 196.5 (PSS in stock sizes) with a tail wind at the 1 1/2 mile there, DA about 3000'. They do not allow full drag race starts as they use the municipal airport main runway - when Burt Rutan's launch and space plane's aren't using it!

We will see what happens depends on which car I take.... I hope to make one of them.... Thank you for the info

I notice the Mojave mile now allows NT05Rs, I'm gonna have to do one of those events one of these days

Be aware they do not allow a full drag race start as they use the municipal airport runway and don't want parts scattered all over. Most of the rubber begins about 60' our of the starting box.

Practically, the launch makes more difference in the ET, which they don't measure than on the trap speed, which they do measure.
As an example, the first time I ran there in the mile, new to the Z06 transmission I did three passes shifting 1-2-5-3-4-5 and two clean 1-2-3-4-5 passes. The slowest of the bad shif passes was only 3MPH slower than my best clean pass. After I read the Ranger sticky on shifting the transmission, all my passes since then have been clean and quick.
