sorry...first year was '06 Z06. Ranger's car was an '06....my mistake. Why hasn't anyone done it? That is a simple question and there is a simple answer. Even with ZL1s, not many people take cars to the dragstrip even though they talk lots of garbage and true BS. As it is stated in other forums, many people run their mouths but rarely run their cars. So, with a limited number of cars and inherent collectibility, the Z/28 is much more likely to be seen at a local show vs a dragstrip. Some guys have run their Z/28s at the road course with much success, and I applaud their efforts as they are using the car as intended. 6spd cars also take skill to launch properly and get down the track and only a very few 6spd manual ZL1s have posted their e.t./mph data. The Z/28 did not hit the streets until middle to end of '14 and in my area the tracks shut down between Nov and Feb causing a huge lapse of time people may run their car. What if I don't hit 11.99? If I can't get it, I suppose all of my theoretical time possibilities are BS. Hell, I think it will be fun to try anyways. For that matter, why are you so difficult? I think I have proven my ability to extract e.t.s with minimal mods in many cars, not only my ZL1.
