Those of you who claim bs don't have a clue what you are talking about.

A Z06 weighs 3150 lbs and they are making 440-445 rwhp. Yellow R1's car weighs 2650 lbs and is making 380-400 rwhp, do the math. He is making more power per pound than the Z06...

The average times Z06's are pulling are high 11's to low 12's @118-124. There are a couple guys like Ranger who is basically a professional and after a year and hundrends of runs pulled an 11.35 @ 127.

I have been in Yellow R1's car when he ran a modified Porsche GT2 with well over 500 hp. It was dead even and at the time the RX-7 was making 40 or so less rwhp than it is now. We also had a full tank of gas and the guy in the GT2 was by himself...

As far as the 7 getting a jump, wrong. Yellow R1 waited the second time and the Z06 actually got a slight jump.

I also see Tim, around the 4th post here, ran a Z06 and got the same bs comments by all the two bit haters.

Just because most of you haters drive detuned rattle trap shi# boxes with 390,000 miles and can't drive don't assume everyone else is in the same boat.

I know Yellow R1 and he doesn't lie.

Yeah the vette broke loose all 3 times even though they were door to door. You guys make me laugh.

He called bs on the hp numbers which in fact were bs, not the race. 950 awhp. Funny.



We are talking 400 plus pounds difference and torque isn't what matters hp is. Educate yourself.

As anecdotal backup for the story, a good friend of mine has beaten a C6 Z06 with his modded E55 AMG by about the same amount as Yellow R1 stated. I've run a 3rd gear roll at about 65 with the E55, and it was a nearly a dead tie with him making about 1 car on me up to 120 or so. My car makes 365 rwhp and weighs 2700 lbs. Another 50 lbs off and another 20 rwhp, and Yellow R1's story is well within the realm of possibility, and I believe it.

hey whats that smell (sniff sniff Sniff) oh its haters. nice kill man keep up the good work.

Stock Z06's have been trapping 118-119 here at Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Good driving is 121~123. Coming from a guy who owns one (no not me)

ok then explain this. Ive beatn a 475 whp cobra in my 182awhp subaru. from a roll and from a launch. doesnt make sense to me either. With my spray (100 shot) ive beaten vipers and supercharged vettes. alot of stuff doesnt make sense. but stranger things have happened. best time with the subie is 12.222 at 107.95 mph. with 17" rims full body kit, big *** sti wing, and full interior. and its not an sti or wrx



nice kill

Just for kicks I found this video of a C6 Z06 doing a 11.3xx @ 125.xx. This is about the time used often in BS replies when tossing around numbers for the C6 Z06. That's a hot car and fast, but look at the video and consider if this is an average dude out for a day at the average strip? I guess it could be, but let's be logical. Look at the people in jackets. It looks a bit like it's about to snow! That alone is good for an easy half second or better off the time and huge for mph increase. Then tell me if you think the Z06 is on stock tires? It could be, but that launch has got to be on drag tires and I'd be shocked if it was greater than a 1.7 60ft. That's good for another few tenths off the time. Is the car stock? It could be, but just a guess that he didn't plaster all of the graphics on a stock car. That run is no doubt awesome, but if this is what people use for reference to all Z06s that's just a bit silly.

I went a step further and plugged in that mph to get an idea of HP required for the run.

Given 3300lb race weight
125 MPH requires 510 wheel HP.

Just food for thought.

cool_as_crap

hmmm, thats not much more HP than stock, i'd say very lite mods.

Henessey

Well not to start, but numbers are just ....numbers. Cars are unpredictable. Thats a good formula, there are a couple, but they arent the bible. Something as dumb as angle of a spoiler can slow down a car 1-2 mph.But nonetheless the point is he beat a significantly faster car. Calling bs is never practical, there are so many factors that could have come to play.

I'm not hating at all. I was just contributing my own anecdotal evidence because I have a car almost identicle in power as him, and our difference was almost 5 cars between our stories.

see thats surprising b/c the c5 z06s were trapping 115-118mph with 100less rwhp! i have seen vids of the new z06s trapping 125mph as well. i havent seen them first hand like u have but i just dont see how the new z06 is just a hair faster than the old one. its int logical.

i think everyong needs to calm down a bit. depsite some people getting bent out of shape (wether its warranted or not doesnt matter) i think this is a pretty interesting topic. i love to see a stock turboed fd keep up with todays super cars. I will admit though that its hard for me to swallow. but at the same time i completely believe yellow beat this z06. Yellow u have posted some pretty cool kills over the yrs. u need to get your *** on a track and get a trap speed out of that monster. dynos simple dont matter. a nice trap speed will clear alot of things up. my fd traps 118mph with1.00boost. for some reason i cant make more than 1.05ish. not sure why? but anyways i bet u will be close to 122mph ish....come on get on the track and show us definatively what she has got!

matty

to put it simple, your calculation is off. my buddies c5 z06s traps 128 with only 490 rwhp. i have seen it several times one time its was 85 out..the other time it was 75.

contrary to what you are posting mph doesnt change that much from driver to driver. Provided driver A isnt a complete mess he should trap similar to a guy with alot of experience. cooler temps will make u trap higher though.

i could trap 118mph and run a 12.8 and could trap 118mph and run a 12.0. its all about the launch.

Henessey

numbers, numbers people. Never consistent unless its a race autotrans.

after seeing this video his story is not out of the realm of possibilty...two horrible vette drivers both in the 13's if i heard right

after watching the video closer the zo6 looks to be the C5 series zo6

rt turbo

ah ha ha ha, thats beech bend raceway in bowling green ky where i went to college... home of the vette. i heard about that race, the z06 was on race wheels/roadrace R compound tires. not sure if they were even street legal. my best freinds were there and saw that car go, said it was much louder than stock and the car next to it was a modded zo6 c5. the yellow car took off directly after the race and noone really got a chance to look at it. ive seen these z06's run many times. 12.5-11.8 and 117-122 is aboutthe range of times. never ever seen a stock one break 11.8. yellow r1s car with 385+whp is fully capable of 120+mph. i definatly believe him.

True, true. Totally different cars.

That's cool that your bud runs some good speeds. Remember you're probably around 500 ft and have some good pressure in your air. You're not suffering for power. I'm not sure why you would want to split hairs with a dyno number and the math of a drag racing calculator.

Enter the numbers in either of the calculators below. It's not real complicated, just math. This is an easy way to validate a ballpark range uncorrected HP with trap speed. You can always correct going back with a correction factor if you wanted to compare cars in different locations. You're right about times. They can be all over the place.

http://www.pro-system.com/calc.html

http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/calc.htm

Use the next link for sea level corrected if you want to put drag times from different locations into perspective. That 11.3 @ 125 Z06 which clearly isn't stock is going to have a correction factor which would add time and lower speed. The link will give you density altitude for the given run too, so you can put things into perspective. Just punch in about 30.1 for pressure, 40F for temp and 70% for humidity along with 500 ft above sea level for elevation for that run. That's probably close given Bowling Green drag strip and the winter.

http://www.modulardepot.com/density.php

The run in the video of the C6 Z06 I posted a few replies back with a car that's clearly not stock, as confirmed by rt turbo, would have had a density altitude of around 400 ft below sea level or maybe lower judging by the freezing people in the stands. The corrected time and speed wouldn't have been as good. The point is people that toss out such times and speeds along with a BS each time a C6 Z06 comes up in topic need to give it up and be realistic.

Today were I live in Scottsdale, AZ I doubt a stock C6 Z06 could break 13 seconds with an average driver. The density altitude is about 7000 ft above sea level.

It's not real complicated stuff when you read any of the posts on the boards. Just plug it in and figure out conditions.
