Stock 07 Z06 runs 11.6 @ 122

[Logan2003Cobra]

Went to PIR Saturday night and a guy I know who recently bought a new Z06 was breaking it in properly. I'm not sure what his best of the night was but I got him on video running an 11.6. I'll post the video later this week. He said he was able to run an 11.4 on Friday night but the track gave him a warning so he was only running with the traction control on afterwards. He also has a base 07 Corvette and was able to get it down to 12.3 @ 117 bone stock.

P.S. I'm able to run pretty close to his base vette, but after seeing his Z06 run, my wife said I should go ahead and get a Whipple.

Yeah get teh Whipple....Wife has ok'd it so it is a slam dunk :beer:

 

[lilbuddy1587]

Sounds like your buddy can drive his vettes. If he got rid of that traction control, he'd probably trap 124-125mph.

Not bad! I've heard of stock C6 ZO6's dipping into the 10's! He's got some practicing to do! LOL

That is crazy. a stock car, under 85k running under 12 seconds in a 1/4 mile n/a. when the ss corvette or whatever they are gonna call it comes out, all of the supercar makers are gonna have to go to the drawing boards! it should easily run in the mid tens with some slicks if the drivetrain will hold. im sure it will though.

 

[Logan2003Cobra]

On D/R's I'm sure he could run 10's; and I think he trapped 125-126 on his 12.4 run. As for his driving... he can usually get 1.8-1.9 60's out of just about any car he drives on stock tires while running times most people would call B.S. on (he goes through about 2-3 cars a year and is constantly running through the gears on the street and at the track).

i still think its 11.2 stock. and close to 10.7 stock with dr.

Ahhhhhh... The D/R's and street tires arguement... LOL

I say that any car that can get into mid 11's right off of the showroom floor can dip into the 10's without much more effort; D/R's, bolt-on's, practice, etc...

my neighbor has an 06 Zo6 and he said he went 11.7 on stock tires with just an exhaust...that was before he got his built motor put in, now it puts down 640 to the wheels...

you dont need a whipple to wax is base vette all you need is a upper pulley and he is toast. you will need a whipple to run with the Z tho

 

[04gtstang]

Yea those darn vettes are fast as heck....it should be a GREAT run if I ever find one.

 

[rrpederson]

some damnd good times for any stock car. the new z is such a badass. the only thing that sux is that the parts cost so much. i still wouldnt mind having one, or even a c5 z, those things kick ass too.

You don't necessarily need a whipple either. A little weight reduction and a properly tuned upper/lower bolt on eaton can outrun them, but you can't be scared to drive the piss out of it. Still the Z-06 has to be one of the best bang for the buck cars of all time. They are nasty.

I have a friend that runs ran 11.20 with DR's. Ranger ran 10.85 with Dr's on a bonestock c6.

I don't think that you know what your talking about if you think a properly tuned Heaton can outrun a c6 z06. Nothing personal, but thats not possible unless the vette is parked.

Zo6 = overrated
I have seen them go 11.1 with a stat,tune and air filter...

Notice he said with some weight reduction - it is very possible. Shed ~200 lbs off of the Cobra and give it ~510 RWHP and it will be a bit faster than a C6 Z. It takes a full weight Cobra ~530 RWHP to run even with a C6 Z.

+1 a Pulley and ported Eaton can't touch a C6 Z06.
It takes a little more then that.

Base vette or C6 Z06?
I beat a C6 Z06 with my set-up by a rear qp.
No I take that back. Two C6's.Why do folks bow down to those cars. I love my funky looking Mustang.
There are a few of those cars here. Sure, it would desrtoy me on a road course, not!
Last November I was dogging a C6 Z06 on a road course. The gold chained ass would block the turns. Also he refused to give me the pass by.
What an ass. Guess the gold chains blinded his vision.
Driver mod?

yes I did notice and I still don't believe it's possible to outrun a properly driven z06 with both cars on factory tires. The only chance in hell a heaton cobra has is a very well tuned suspension with slicks in the 1/4 and a 1.4-1.5 60'. Thats about as possible as it gets. In any other situation is a wrap for the cobra. Don't get me wrong, I love the Cobra, but it's no match for z..
