Z06 aint that fast

[DSG2003SVT]

There is NO delay on a Roots blower

This is true :burnout: :burnout:

If you launch at any rpm higher than idle, the roots blowers are not going to have any delay. As it was stated earlier, with a stock pulley at 8-9ish boost, 2500 rpms is boosting 8-9ish when the pedal is on the floor.

What is the elevation at the tracks in OHIO? Are they high? THat may be a good reason why the whole mach 1, vette, cobra arguement won't stop.

Norwalk is one of the best strips in the country, the elevation is 853 feet. Times are generally pretty fast there, so that kind of shoots your theory.

 

[o3SnakeBite]

a z06 goes mid-high 11's stock.

I would say low to mid 12's is alot more realistic

Reality is something that seems to be in rather short supply in alot of these threads. :shrug:

You're a piece of work! Why'd you quote me? I just made a general statement about the reality factor of some of the threads here. Why didn't you quote the guy who actually made the statement concerning Z06 times?

But since you did go to all the trouble of posting those, am I seeing things, or are the cars that have substantially more mods done to them, running slower, as a group, than the ones that are supposedly stock or close to it?? Hmmm, makes you wonder about the reality factor at work on whatever board you took that list from.

The thing about the bolt on list is that they're not fully bolt ons. Even a different clutch, pushs them to the bolt on category. Bolts for them are headers, clutch, and different gears, but most of these are w/ stock gears just header and clutch upgrade.

Doesn't matter. When you have three that claim to be "bone stock" sitting in the middle of the upper list turning better times than the bottom four of the "bolt-ons" group, that clearly states, "more than cai/dr." Just saying something smells pretty fishy to me. oke:

FWIW, I know for a fact that Ranger's time was in his bone stock Z. His car was inspected and fully verified. I'll be the first one to admit and it hurts to admit it, but a good driver can easily get a Z into the 11's with some practice. For how much rwhp they put down, they are extremely fast with the right driver.

 

[CobrABoZ]

i wasnt goin to jump in but i just sold my cobra for a z06, right before i sold my car i raced a 644hp z06 with my whipple spray car even tho i made a bit more power than him he still walked my ass with his 3000lb car. Aerodynamics play a part too i know ,he pulled about 10 cars on me. from 40 to 135 140ish.

 

[BayouVette]

Your right. I will believe it when I see it. You sound like a ricer, you know that. So because a few guys post on the vette forum that they are bone stock and run high 11s they must be telling the truth. Let me see here, a cobra has 390 HP (under-rated), runs an average of mid 12s and a z06 only has 10 HP more, weighs (what?) 200 pounds less and can run more than half a second faster.............that makes absolutely NO sense. Typical Vette owner, no one is faster than you.

your unbelievable.. why do i sound like a ricer? I dont even have a ZO6.. i have a regular old vette. A stock Zo6 will take me out on the highway.. A well driven cobra will take me out on the highway.. That doesn't bother me.. i know my position in the food chain.

Your a Typical brand loyal stubborn mule.. The facts are there.. Dont know why you want to stereo type me.. If you read all my posts on this thread you will see there is no post where i come off as no one is faster than me.. I just stated facts.

and by the way i know machs can run low 13's stock. I've seen a couple run 13.3x stock..and i believed the poster's story. .you act like i have something against mach's and i dont.

So because i believe that Ranger ran 11's in a stock z06 i believe everthing on the internet. Comon.. think a little here. It was verified by track officials.. what more do you want.. Look at his log of runs. this guy can drive like we wish we could drive..

What do you have agaisnt chevy's.. What did they do to you..

you even thanked me in this thread about my mach vs C5 comments..

so why would you say that i think no ones faster than me..

reading comprehesion owns you..

case closed.

 

[ponygt65]

Bayou - The reason why I stated the ricer thing (which I admit was taken a tad far on my part) was because you took one car, one time and worded to seem like it is a commonality for Z06s to run high 11s. When some says "zo6s run high 11s" that is a generalized statement. Therefore, the statement indicates that it is common to see them that fast, when the aren't. Low to mid 12s sure. High 11s, nope. Several people can atest to a mach 1 running 12.98 (can't think of who it was right now - I can find it on the registry) right off the showroom floor. But I dont' go around saying machs are high 12s because that would be stupid of me. Machs are (on average) low to mid 13s. Z06s are average low to mid 12s.

There have been several comments on this forum generalizing what a particular car can run. When the fact is, there was one car that run a great time the one time it was taken to the track. I can't see how people can take that and say that is what the particular car runs.

I have no problem with you, like you stated. I was just upset about all the "taking the best time, so that's what they run" kind of talk.

Norwalk is one of the best strips in the country, the elevation is 853 feet. Times are generally pretty fast there, so that kind of shoots your theory.

I was seriously trying to figure out why it is that you guys in Ohio see cobras running low 13s high 12s and machs running mid to high 13s. That is not very common. There was no need for you to reply with an attitude.

Norwalk is an excellent track, sticky and low elevation. Dragway 42 is terrible, no prep and I'm not sure what the elevation is. Quaker City is somewhere inbetween. The problem with Quaker is that the last 1/8 mile is slightly up hill. I go to 42 because of proximity, cost, and the large amount of runs that you get there. These are the three main tracks in NE Ohio. When I'm at 42, I constantly see Machs running 13.5-14.0 and Cobras run high-12's to low-13's. :burnout:

Anything can happen on the srteet. I've seen a nearly stock SRT4 with three people keep up with and 03 cobra with an intake. It's all about the driver on the street!
