Thanks.

I run primarily the 1/8th mile, in which it runs low 6's.... but in the rare occasion I get to the 1/4 mile track it runs 9.8's @ 135 mph area as per the last video I posted in this thread. It'll actually run a few tenths quicker on a clean hook.

Its a Z06 with WCCH Stage 2 cylinder heads, BTR stage 3 cam, headers and its an Auto-conversion car because I am a bracket racer. Very quick car out of the hole with 1.27-1.32 60 fts.

Have hundreds of pictures.... below is one of my favorites.

If you really do get lost, can I have your car?

I'm always lost..... but I usually somehow get to where I'm going after 8 or 9 wrong turns. Story of my life.

Great business !!.... one of the best as far as creating speed parts and packages for late model GM muscle.

Yeah but with that Z06 of yours you will still beat me there.

Nice ride, looks like fun!

And for those of us who've watched Top Gun (1986)...

I feel the need, THE NEED... FOR SPEED!!!

Wow, it looks downright menacing from that angle. Do you have a second set of fronts for the street, or do you run it like that all the time? It's got to have a serious impact on braking... and with a car that fast, you'd do a LOT of braking .

< 10 sec is amazing. That's got to be faster than the fastest production sport bikes.

Yes, I have several sets of wheels/tires, including the stock wheel/tire combination. If I'm going to do any real street driving I'll put them on, but that is a rare occurrence. I trailer the car to and from the racetrack for my weekend racing, which is all I really do with this car nowadays. I have high performance Strange Racing brakes on the car as it is.... the front skinnies are actually fine for street or strip. But, obviously they wouldn't be good for road course racing.

The car does well against all production automobiles.... not so sure about sport bikes though. I'd guess some models could tar and feather me.

In my circle, my performance level is pretty average.... we have guys running 7.80's @ 180 mph in the 1/4 mile.... a lot of the guys are in the mid to low 8's. Forced Induction has come of age and its been perfected. A direction I might be forced to go before long.

I'm a former (stock) Z06 owner (2007) and it was a blast to drive and they can squeeze enormous horsepower out of a base naturally aspirated engine that still got 505hp.

How many hp is your car putting out? I know of 2 guys in the area with supercharged ones that are somewhere 900ish if I remember correctly.

Thanks for sharing your hobby and fun with us and good luck.
