Got to make a pass against a ZL1 yesterday...

Went to the strip yesterday and it was pretty dead as it was almost 90F and the DA was around 3300+

Anyway, got to make a pass against a ZL1 so I figured I would share with you guys... Really nice older gentlemen and the car was an auto and stock with stock tires... Not sure if he is a member here?

Yeah, like I mentioned the DA was 3300+ so conditions were horrible... Very little track prep also, which hurts RWD cars much more than my S... I usually run 11.7x at 117-118 with a DA in the 500-750 range... So my ET and traps were off .3-.4 and 3-4mph... I was surprised that he didn't trap higher especially with spinning out of the hole... I believe he got a 12.9 on another pass... Hoping he is a member here and can chime in... He said he will be back in the fall so I'll post some more of his passes if I get them... Very nice looking car either way...

It was an AUTO..... how is it the drivers fault???? A old guy with enough money for a ZL1 has probably been down the drag strip or driven a car a couple of times

Lets just face it some ZL1s are just dogs, if you care about straight line speed you better MOD... if not who knows what will walk you down the strip or at a stoplight:(

What do you have done to your S4 to run 11.7?

Both cars are really nice! If both drivers own the cars they ran, they are both winners in my book!
