Thanks for posting. So it looks like it is as we all thought---the driver makes the difference.

Yellow vette in Rt lane is not a Z. Is a C6 Coupe, modified to look like a Z. Runs on Nitrous.

So we have a 12.0 at 120... Want my take? Probably not but here goes anyway.

RUNCRAPS are KILLING IT...

You are dead on. Runcraps with such a small sidewall are terrible for this sort of thing. This is the number one complaint with the SRT-10 owners. The first mod needs to be new tires. Hopefully 335's or 345's will fit.

12.0 at 120 is pretty respectable in my book. I think that time will lower substantially when some really good drivers get their hands on these cars.

With some decent tires these cars are oging to be absolute animals, let alone with some bolt on upgrades!

Remember one thing, there was a little bit of drizzle, causing lots of traction problems, especially for cars with lots of power and big tires...

I ran my similarly geared 550 rwhp ZR-1 on 335-30/18 Pilots at Beech Bend recently, and my best was 12.0 at 127.8 mph with a 2.3 60 ft. Traction was non existent, even in 2nd gear.

The new Z will run mid-low 11s on a good track with a good driver, even with the runflats.
