My buddys 95R got his doors

[bobby1]

blown off by a stock 2001 Z06 corvette. At a roll 3 times this vette left him like he was standing still! Talked with the guy and says he has raced it twice in phoenix and gone 12.60s at 112mph bone stock. Just having some fun on the street. :burnout:

We certainly are not here to condone or advocate street racing especially on this site. :nonono: We much prefer to slug it out on a track that has corners.

But, if you think your Buddy's "R" had a chance with an '01 Z, (especially in a straight line :rollseyes ) you were sadly mistaken? As you both discovered!

Now if your Buddy can drive, then he might have a chance against that Z on a road course? But that is only going to be if he can, in fact, drive!?!

Scrutinize your opponents a little closer next time! It might save you some embarrassment?

:thumbsup: :coolman: :beer:

We are all mature adults and for the first time in many years just having some fun on the street. Yes the track is the place to be BUT every now and than LET IT RIP!! epper:

The best 95R times I have seen in stock (as it came from Ford) configuration is 13.6-13.8. The 00R with it's 385h.p. was much closer in 1/4 mile times to the 385h.p. Z06. I'm sure the 405h.p. Z06 (2002?) ran even faster.

Didn't MM&FF run a 12.8 way back when?

That sounds fast for a '95 R? :shrug:

 

[Terry Moenich]

My first 95 R Ran 13.01...then I bent the output shaft on the trans :lol: :lol: :lol: trying for 12.99.

The Z06 picked on the 95 because he probably got his plastic doors blown off by a 2000 R!! :banana: :banana:

I think that was the heavily modded car w/ slicks. In the MMFF Aug. 1999 issue they did a 13.2 @ 106.

Who wants to drag race a road race car (the R or the Z06)?

The best performance of the 95R is the .96g on the 100' skidpad.

Bobby, I'd never even consider racing on the street. Many States will confiscate your car. Your insurance would be cancelled (which would require 'assigned risk' coverage). You could also be charged with manslaughter. What's fun about that?

MM&FF got a "magazine test" 95R into the 12's with slicks, skinny's on the front, timing tweaked and the air box and serpentine belt removed. That was in 95/96 when these cars were new. I think the final time was 12.98 or 99. I have never seen any 95R's run in the very low 13's or high 12's on their original 255/45 BFG's and in stock (as they came from Ford) trim. There were many magazine drag tests performed on the 95R when new.

Mine did the 13.01 on ET Street Slicks to clarify, that is why I bent the output shaft. Rt 66 Dragstrip really hooks!!

 

[ShelbyGuy]

you guys need to work on your autocross launch get that 60' time down below 2.0 seconds and you should be in the high 12s STOCK.

I did it with just a k&n at us41 and they do what can best be described as "minimal track prep"

Lets not get carried away! Ill bet if you like fast cars you have tried to get the gas pedal thru the floorboard. :-D

John:

There's a BIG difference in the 95R and the '03 Cobra. :coolman:

 

[CobraR77]

There are usually a couple Z06's that fall victim to my 95R at each of our WDCR-SCCA autocross events. It seems like the 03 Cobra's don't even show up any more because they get beat so badly.

Yea, I'll push the speed limit from time to time. Anyone that has driven through Georgia will tell you our State Patrol allows a little leeway.

Heck no, I would not even consider racing on the street. I'm not sure I could live with myself if I hurt someone on the street. I keep my racing on the race track. I've had a competition road race license for 14 years and previous to that I had a NHRA comp license (back when). Last weekend I tried to push that pedal through the floorboard every lap and still got beat. :shrug: I think someone needs to start a senior racing tour for us old and slow folks. :coolman:

I ain't as good as I once was that's the cold hard truth, but I am as good once as I ever was :-D

I will freely admit I did a LOT of dumb stuff when I was young! But when I was young there was less than half the traffic there is now. Not that that's any excuse!

Now, after a weekend of running around a race track with my hair on fire with the car sideways, chasing all of my Pals, I'm genuinely tired. My need for speed has been COMPLETELY satisfied and I don't mind driving behind Granny on the Highway for a while. In fact, it's kind of a nice break. My wife says I drive like a Grandpa. :dw: Well, she has YET to ride with me on track so she basically has no clue.

You should know a Z is no challenge for an "R"? oke: That's why R comes before Z in the Alphabet!!! :read:

:-D

Yeah, maybe then I'd be a little more competitive?!! ;-) :lol:

 

[4.6 Rocket]

A Z06 should pull on it so don't be shocked. I'm curious, since heads and cam swap are a very common mod on the 5.0, are there any 95 r owners that have done a heads and cam swap? I'm curious on what kind on numbers you are making.
