Launching these cars without shredding the rear tires is a challenge, even in the auto. In the 997 Turbo i drove you just use launch control and hold on. You need a lot more throttle control with the ZR1 through second gear. It makes it fun but challenging. Because of this my money would be on the stock Turbo in a drag race every time vs a stock ZR1.

 

Well this track was prepped pretty well, so his 60 ft. shows he stuck it quite well. On the street, Oh I'm sure it's hard.

Without my tune, it would have been difficult to beat his pass. Best I did when stock was 10.96 @ 124.1 in same weather / same track.

 

It sounds like he did pretty well but my money would always be on the Turbo, unless it was against a Tesla lol. Or a 720S. On a race track the ZR1 has the advantage with equal drivers. Drags a different story. Your car is quick!

 

Wow. Here I am in my completely OEM stock car that can easily run mid 11 seconds all day long, thinking I'm (well, my car actually) is a badass. Then you guys are talking about being in the 10s like it's nothing. I'm going to go cry.

 

With simple bolt-ons guys are running 8s. EIGHTS!

 

Here is some guy running mid 9s with a pulley swap, headers, and other bolt-ons.

 

That's effin' amazing!

But I'm always curious what people define as "bolt on." I've got a friend with one of those Nissan GT-R things. It has run a best quarter of 8:12. He "bolted on" two bigger turbos. He "bolted on" lots of internal engine mods. He "bolted on" stronger axles. Outside of electronic work / tune, technically people can call almost anything "bolt on," right?

 

It's kind of a weird feeling actually...hanging out with him and his other GR-R buddies. I mean here I am in a .2/3RS, and I'm the slowest car in the group? Like, the slowest by a wiiiiiide margin? That's crazy!

 

If you open up the engine (cams or head work) then that isn’t bolt-on imo. But turbos? That is going pretty far.

 

That's my opinion too, based on the way most people seem to use the phrase. But technically, if their mods do in fact use bolts as the method of installation, then they're safe to use that phrase and get away with it. That's why I'm always curious to hear what has actually been done when someone says it. I'm a bit OCD about language usage, so vague, ambiguous terminology always makes me skeptical, even if I don't really car about the topic material. It makes my brain go, "Wait, do you mean THIS or do you mean THAT?"

 

PS - that black on white car in your posts looks spectacular!

 

Thanks!

 

Bolts ons could consist of intake swap, pulleys, cat back, a tune, and breast implants etc.

 

I consider breast implants to be mods to the short block. Huge fan, nonetheless.

 

I am more of a “naturally inflated” breasts man myself.
