wow!! is right
thanks for pointing that out ...must have been a 1.40 reaction not that that effects the time slip. But to have that ET and speed with a crappy driver in a stock car on street tires is suspect. Even in a ZR1...
Someone prove me wrong please.
Can a stock ZR1 on street tires go 133 MPH in the 1320? (highly doubt it )
I have never driven one myself so that is my disclaimer.

Even though your Corvette is likely "far more superior" than just your average run of the mill Camaro. Blufin has recorded the Fastest 60' (1.870) of any Stock Camaro. So bashing him proves nothing but your lack of knowledge of our cars! I guarantee your 1.39 60" is no where near in a stock form or with just D.Rs. So your comparing apples to oranges. Here is a link to our current Camaro fast list.

Back to the video of the ZR-1 , that launch was pretty freakin good! The guy running that car also runs with a guy called (Ranger) John Armstrong , so he probably knows what he is doing. Ranger has set MANY records in Corvettes , Stock or Stock with Drag Radials. If you look at the video in the bottom left hand corner it says (produced by Ranger Acceleration.com) I recommend you check it out!

He started the bashing first with his "Huh" to my post. I simply stated that a 1.7 60' for a 133 mph car isn't good. And I'll stick by that statement. The Huh showed his lack of drag racing knowledge.

Not comparing apples to oranges? I referenced my 1.39 @ 127 mph to show what can be done with that mph.

You may need a little touching up on your knowledge of drag racing too!

What knowledge might that be? That if you’re not in a corvette you ain't drag racing?

Ha-ha, your funny formerly banned member...

My guess for the ZL1:

12.0 @ 123 mph.

Low 12's.......

Id say for a "Bone stock car" 1.7 60' is real good. Its not going to get much better than that.

My NHRA C/Stock Chevelle 60's 1.37 , 10.73 @ 122 mph. There is no way I can compare that to the ZR1 they are 2 different animals!

I know the ZL1 will come in at <12 in the quarter, and <4 seconds in the 0-60 because I would otherwise not be "astounded."

I was told to prepare to be astounded by ZL1 and I'm ready to lay down some rubber.

That is all.

The best I've got is this:

CTS-V + better traction + less weight + more power

...let you imaginations run free.

12.6 with a bone stock SS is damn good!

"1.7 60' with a 133 mph is not a good launch"Unless its an all wheel drive car...I'll take a 1.7 60' any day with a stock car on stock tires.

what I was thinking. . . best I ever did on standard radials was a 1.91 60' in a 98 z28. and I ran a 12.5002 sec at 111.9 mph. a High 60ft with High MPH and low ET indicates to me a crappy launch or the car is built for the big end. a low 60ft time and low et with low mph should mean over all a good car. but who usually wins the guy with higher MPH, if same ET. still trying to figure that one out.

Same ET is a tie regardless of MPH. MPH does not determine the winner!

maybe they changed the rules. but the last time I watched a drag race the higher mph won if the ET's were the same.
