Personally have seen a new Z06 run 11.5 @ 127, bone stock, stock run flats. Then on slicks he went 10.7, stock. Unreal car. Extremely fast.

^ i need a little more practice, rwd v8 is just a little diff than awd turbo. I will definitely improve the next few times, expect mid/upper 11's in the low/mid 11's.

OK, bets: how long are the rear tires gonna last on Burnin's new ride?

believe it or not, I've been taking it easy on her. I've had the Z for 45 days and have around 1300 miles on her. I'm guessing end of summer for new tires, haha!

I am going to do a cam/headers, cai, ported throttle body and intake manifold. that should put me in the 550-57-whp range, good enough to run mid 10's in the mid 130's.

[Crewchief]

with those mods + heads should give you over 600+whp? Maybe a small shot........like a 150?

I figure I'd give you guys an update on my Z...

I cannot 60ft this muther for my life!!!!!!!!!! I have been to 2 diff dragstrips and cant do better than a 2.0. I have run 4 12.0's at 121mph with 2.0/2.1 60ft. She is still bone stock, however that is getting ready to change. I have a katech cam/springs/retainers, harland sharp rocker arms, killerbee cold air intake, 160 thermostat, and the american racing longtube headers. I should go from 450whp---->535whp+.

Anyway, the Z is lethal from a roll. I have recently administered some colossal azz beatings!!!

I met up with my friend that owns an 07 Shelby GT500 that has a ported blower and upper/lower pullies. He dyno'd earlier today at 565whp/563tq. We met up at the dragstrip, but he did not run his car. there was a bone stock gt500 was there running 13.8's at 108mph, booo!

the 565whp GT500 and I went 3 times from 45mph-140mph. Basically, our cars are dead even till 100mph, then I began to slowly walk away. I held 1 car length to 140 on 2 of the runs, the other I gave him the jump and I had a hard time reeling him in till dangerous speeds. I was pretty shocked to see my bone stock Z outrun a 565whp Shelby GT500, just barely though.

Before the Shelby saw my tailights, I had some fun with an 08 M5. he and I had raced earlier in the night at the dragstrip, here's the vid YouTube - 2008 C6Z bone stock vs 2008 M5 with catback. Anyway, the m5 and I went from a 45mph roll, and da Z laid teh smack dizzle, haha! The 08 M5 was trapping 116mph all night, compared to my 121mph, not to mention he weighs 4,000lbs (V-10 500hp). Still a very impressive car, he ran 12.4-12.5 all night.

A few weekends ago I was out driving, met up with a friend that has a 6.0 GTO with 175 shot + exhaust, we went from 45-125mph 3 times. He hung for about a second, haha! then it was over, and I mean over. An SS camaro joined us all 3 of those races, he was spraying a 125shot + exhaust, and he got beat even worse...all 3 times.

The only other worthy candidate worth mentioning is my friends 506whp STi (stock block 35r + meth). My feeling were hurt.....I beat him so bad I felt sorry for teh wittle scooby, ): . I was actually letting the STi get the bump at whatever speed he wanted, and it was only a matter of seconds before I yanked bus lengths on him.

So, I miss my subarus, but my Z is a f'ing animal. btw, check out my new tags...

So you sayin the STI was the slowest at top end or overall?

sti's are nasty, from a launch. as long as sti's stay in their powerband they are very fast cars. however, the z makes instant torque, has long gearing, and aerodynamics. the gears in the sti are just too short to race from a roll. in the z, 1st gear goes to 60mph+, 2nd gear to low 80's, 3rd 120, and I've never been man enough to redline 4th but it's 150mph+.

the little bit of lag in an sti with a 35r will automatically give up a car+ compared to a Z, and then it's too hard to recover from. however, at the strip a 35sti will give my Z a hard time (stock).

That is nuts and it makes me want to never race a Z06 from a roll!

[chargedvette02]

I wish I still had my Vette so we could run. No doubt I would beat your @ss at the strip since I was pulling low 11's at altitude. I never got a chance to race a C6 Z from a roll, I bet it would have been pretty interesting. I thought that C6 Z's were putting down a lot more than 530 whp with just a cam swap, I was thinking it was in the upper 500's. Anyway, enjoy your new upgrades!

When properly driven to it's full potential you wont want to race one from a dig either.

yeah, i have been having a hard time launching the car. bone stock c6z's have been known to run in the 10's, just not with me driving, haha!

I went with a mild cam, the katech torquer cam. depending on the dyno, it should put down 530-550whp. it's strickly a mid range cam, good enough to trap in the low 130's on run flats.

one of my good friends has a brand new 08 LS3 Z51, and it has an ECS paxton novi kit, we will be racing very soon. His car will be finished this week, waiting on a bigger pulley to arrive. his car should make 550whp+, possibly closer to 580whp on 7psi. We'll see how I do bone stock, then with my cam and bolt ons. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes.

Z06 is soooo bad a$$! I have been for a ride in one recently (guy at my marina has an 07' and was admiring my STI...I asked for a ride and !!!)

Crazy and I want one now!

[Flycaster]

Burnin - how do you like the ride and the handling of the car?

[burnin4]

excellent! the 08's have an upgraded suspension, and the handling is spectacular. I have the npp bi mode exhaust and a remote key fob that opens and closes a flap in the mufflers. I can easily talk on the pnone with the a/c and radio on when the flaps are closed, very nice driveability for such a potent beast. the brakes are awesome as well, 6 piston calipers in the front and 4 in the rear.

I cant wait to have all of my parts installed, should be around the end of June.

10s bone stock!!??
