I'm with you there. My Evo or Vette will ever see salt/winter.
We have to talk more about those TT and XS.
I'll pm you in the next couple of days ok

For a resonable amount, my friend got his Evo IX to 11.7 on 93 and 11.5 on 100 oct (clutch,TBE,intk,MBC, 255 walbro, & tune).
For a few thousand invested in a good set of coilovers & rear sway bar installed by Robi of ROBISPEC, coupled with a upgraded brakes & track tires, a good driver could put a serious whooping on a modded ZO6.
ZO6 is a great car, but for 78K, thats a chunk of change!

an Evo running 11.5 is trapping nowhere near 125...keep in mind the Evo's attain great ET's with its awd launch.
this still makes the c6z a faster car on the straights... plus the Z can probably exit a corner just as hard as an Evo given its fatass rear tires. what i'm trying to say is given equal drivers it'd take more for an Evo to beat a c6z around a track on dry roads IMHO.
btw Ranger just ran a f***ing 10.8@129mph in a bone stock c6z on DR's....piece of sh*t

Yeh 10's bone stock. Wow! Good driver and now that he has reached his goal he is going to start adding bolt on's. I keep watching his progress and have had a talk with him on line. Nice guy and he shares all that he has learned about how to get the most out of the Z with everyone.

Obviously you havent used nitrous.
I've used nitrous on my evo 7 motor for over a year on the stock engine. Not even headstuds. Just an safc and that was it.
high 11's everytime at the strip.
never damaged the motor. after a year I decided to go with the GT35R and thats when I said I might as well do the rebuild.
Pulled apart the engine and everything looked fine inside.
