yea, average is 115-116 bone stock, and that's exactly what me and my friends were trapping, along with most everyone if you browse vette forums

cam only z06's trap at about 120 (the more wheel spin, the higher the trap speed, but with DR's your mph goes a little down but you get faster times)

here's a video of a guy on the forums, ran a 11.3 with ONLY a cam, catback and drag radials (yet you probably still think a bone stock z06 is a low 13 second car):

this guy had the same mods:

and here's one of the fastest daily driven stock looking warrantied cars you can buy, 1000HP and 9 second time slips:

and i already told you, i don't care how much you spent on your car, it's a cheaper car period, different market

good for you, i could also have gotten a corolla and put 30K in it and be running faster than a z06...evos don't appeal to my tastes in the looks department, only in performance

and i didn't want to deal with this:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=120408

Last week I come out of the grocery store to find about four teens standing around my car looking it over. When they saw it was mine they all gave me props on how cool a car it is.

Then this weekend I pull up to pay at the drive-through window at McDonald's and the kid says, “That will be eleven-- Heyyyyy! You got the Evo.”

Then again, just yesterday as I was going to see the remake of Dawn Of The Dead, some dude in a Cavalier honks to get my attention so he can give me the thumbs-up.

I thought this sort of stuff only happens around exotics. I've had this car since January and I've gotten quite a few compliments on it thus far but just lately it's been really weird.

I don't mean to seem disgruntled about this, just a little surprised. I thought most Americans didn't even know what the Evo was.

again c'mon guys....take your bashing and vid/article racing to a new thread. Maybe i'm the only one, but I see new posts and expect to read some new info on the Z06....but I get this?! Go make a C5 Z06 vs Evo thread and complain there....please keep this for the C6 Z06.

And if im out of my rights by asking then the mods can remove my post and im sorry.
