    Stock Z06 dips into the tens in the quarter mile.

    I know many people on here don't like drag racing. I like racing of all kinds. Road and drag. I get lots of enjoyment out of both kinds. A Z06 with nothing but drag radials dipped deep into the tens recently. No other modifications were made to the car. This guys a great driver though. He holds the record for the C5 Z06 on street and sticky tires as well as the C6 Z06 on street and sticky tires. He thinks he will be into the tens on street tires soon. He's already run like an 11.1 on run flats.

But it happened today at Maryland International Raceway in Budds Creek, Maryland.

    On my first pass of the day, after an hour-long cool-down and change of rear tires to the BFGs, I ran a clean pass with the type of launch and 1-2 shift I've been looking for. Here are the splits:

    60'........1.679 3650 launch rpm with a fast clutch release and fast throttle squeeze
    330'......4.625
    660'......7.046 102.61
    1000'.....9.114
    1320'...10.856 129.50

    Density altitude at the time of the pass was negative 850 feet on my TAG weather station. Air temperature was 51 degrees. Barometer was excellent and humidity was low.

    Track surface temperature was 60 degrees, kissed sweetly by full sun."

    I can't imagine how fast the Z07/Stingray/blue devil will be. Great time to be a car guy.

    what no " who cares about that plastic vette " Or " I'll take this or that over that ugly interrior" comments?

    Whoa, Ranger's the man. I think this proves that skill and knowledge are essential in drag racing (contrary to what a lot of track guys believe).

    This Z06 video is interesting:

    Re: Stock Z06 dips into the tens in the quarter mile.

    Anyone got any idea what a stock TT or GT3 would do the 1/4 mile in?

    Congrats on an amazing time!
    However, I thought your Corvette had 20 RWHP over stock?

    Yeah it's not mine. I'm not that good of a driver. Mine has 22hp more than stock and my best time is half a second slower than his.
