Cool! I can't go for at least another week, but I'll try this as soon as I get back from vacation and get a day at the strip.

This guy apparently doesn't know how to drive his car yet as an average driver in a bone-stock C5 Z06 will best all of those numbers. Just like anything, it takes practice to learn how to use a tool effectively.

Just speculating, maybe he couldn't control the wheelspin down low due to the addition of the Magnusson whose forte is low-end power production. A better match for an already strong 405 HP V8 would be a centrifugal which would provide better hook-up at launch, equal mid-range power production, and a much better top-end versus the Magnusson. V8's are torquey by nature versus a 4 or 6 cylinder which can use the additional low-end push.

It's all about putting power to the ground and pushing the car forward as hard as possible without wheelspin for the best time.

I downloaded this one from the G-Tech forum too. Unfortunately his RPM's are screwed up so we can't see if there was much wheel spin or not.

Not to offend, but a bone stock c-5 z-06 can and will not get below or near those numbers. In fact from his run you can tell he is an experienced pilot. Driven well the stocker will achieve hi 12's at best.

Regardless of whether the guy knew how to drive or not, that's what the car did. (Apparently there sure doesn't seem to be any shortage of Z06 drivers that don't know how to drive their cars then though.) Doesn't matter what he coulda, shoulda, or woulda did, that's what he actually did. Since he posted the data file of that run, apparently he thought it was good enough to have posted those results online for the world to see too.

Any way we can see that run overlayed with Andrew or Tim's runs that were posted earlier?

Got a chance to do a run this morning. Best 0-60 thus far, but I hit the rev limiter in 2nd and it really hurt overall top end. Anyway, pic is below. I'm attaching a link to download the run for people with the G-tech Pass software that want to put into their database.

Thats gettin there...nice improvement on the 60ft time......1 more tenth to go!! I still think with drag radials, abusive launch & the right weather conditions.....you should be in the low 12's for sure....at closer to 120mph!!

It would be easy to raise the rpm cutout with the ST. DR could create a new EPROM from the bin file he has for your car, and just post the chip to you.

I thought GTs had a usual rpm limit of 6750rpm ? Any reason why your is set lower ?

AO

Not exactly sure of the logic of why we set it lower... I guess probably just for extra safety margin.

Yep. It's close. I can smell it. But I think I'll avoid the abusive launch!

SwayBar

I'm not offended, thank you. Nonetheless, there are plenty of posted time-slips backing up what I say. You can certainly think what you want.

Yeah, I'd be pissin' and moanin' too that all a stock 928 can do is 14.xx in the quarter mile. Thank God the superchargers are giving the car some respectability in a straight line!

Like it or not (..and I can tell you do not), Z06 newbs do high 12's, average drivers do low 12's, and the real good ones do high 11's. Stock. How does that song go, ...'can't touch this!' Even with a supercharger!

If I'm in my 928 and a Z06 comes my way, I'll just let his royal highness by...

Can't touch this!

I think that a lighter 928 wih go fast goodies enough for 600 crank (not that big of a deal) could give them a good run.

But we are talking about billions of devlopment $$ compared to the 100s of millions or less for the final 928 product.

I think you are in the wrong Forum. You should feel right at home here.

How about an 11.38 1/4 on stock tires...

I have no concern about the zo6. the new ones are awsome though. I am referring pre-05. You could never wring hi 11's out of one of these stock. If you can you should drive for the magz. because their test pilots could'nt pull it off. But it is OK to love your car, just not too much.

Got another run in this morning. Launch wasn't quite as good as the last one, but it's my best ET.

Here's the file for those playing at home. July 09 - run 1
