I know it's not a Camaro but it does show how impressive these new ZR1's are with a good driver, a set of tires, a well prepped track and some good air.

What tires was he using?
Kinda hard to believe 1.5 60' on street tires.


Very impressive run.

Probably closer to 3500+ pounds (with driver) actually.

VERY impressive either way.

I was considering just the car, but even that is about 3300 the z06 is about 3100. So you are correct prolly about 3500ish.

Hot damn... thats crazy! Just think some full blown drag cars dont run that I cant believe how fast those vettes are, but for that money I guess it should. That guy can do a full exhaust and tires and have a 9 sec car It takes allot of work just to run deep in the 11s with most cars!

It sounds like someone must have gotten something for their car for Christmas this year along with some spending money.I'll remember this post if I see you at the track this year

Neither of my cars is as fast as that ZR1.......all you have to do is run faster than a 7.20 in the 1/8th to beat my bucket of rust.I'll see you at Bristol, Elk Creek and New River Valley this year

If after we race you can't afford new school clothes for your kids next year don't blame me

If you struggle to run a good number at Elk Creek then you're really going to like this track
