I just found that hard to believe, especially on street tires(stock) considering I've never came across any magazine test from Motor Trend, Inside Line, Edmunds, or anyone else which would substantiate that 10 second claim, it's not like I've been looking either but hell. All these magazines, as far as I know, have recorded 11.xx times for the Z06. I've never heard of it pulling off 10s without switching out the tires. If the Z06 is running 10s STOCK, then the ZR1 should be running 9s stock!

We know the ZR1 is in the 10 second hollowed-grounds, but if a 505hp Z06 can runs 10s just like a 638hp ZR1 can, I couldn't justify the buy for the ZR1. This is of course, according to everything you said. If a Z06 can do 10s the ZR1 can do 9s,......on street tires. Im not buying it.

Just wondering, can you show me some proof.........beyond a youtube video? Anyone can pull up a youtube video, most of which are unreliable and unverifiable. You got time slips or personal video?

Im not saying the Z06 cant run 10s at the strip,.....what I am saying is I've never heard of a Z06 running 10s on street tires; meaning the tires from the factory. I've always heard, on drag tires.

There is plenty of proof in there and witnesses, etc. I have driven a few and I am not surprised. They are very quick. Most will be lucky to pull anything faster than a mid 11, but with the right driver and great conditions, that's what's possible. However, the z06 running a 10 does NOT mean a zr1 should run 9's. Moving from 10's to 9's is not like 13's to 12's. You need a hell of a lot of power and traction to run 9's and it is almost never going to happen with rwd on a street tire. Those times are wwaaaayy faster than normal and cutting a 1.70 60' with rwd on a street tire is real tough, but like I said, that's just what the car is capable of in perfect conditions.
