I just noticed his taillight is burnt out.

 

Now put a drag auto in that car and watch him shave off more time. In drag racing, a fast shift is key, and a human just isn't capable of shifting as fast as an automatic can.

 

Good video Frank. What it surprises me the most is to find more and more people still trapping 128-129mph on their bone stock Z06 and running 11.1 and 11.2s just like the other day that guy from florida that did a few passes that average like 11.2-11.3@127 plus.
It makes you think that adding just a 100 wet nost kit and a set of DR will get you dip into the high 9 -low 10s and traps of around high 130's.

Think about those ZR1 guys...bolts ons and probably running 9's at mid 140's. 3100lb car + 650whp = don't f*ck with it on the highway imo...

 

Yeah, I haven't open my mouth much about the ZR1 on this forum yet but here is an apetizer:

the ZR1 already made 705whp with silly bolt ons.

As per the weight, there is a correction to your comment though, they weight 3350lbs(roughly 200lbs more than the Z06), that is courtesy of:


bigger tires
bigger brakes
bigger rims
heavier engine setup (heavier and thicker block)
intercooler and supercharger along with more piping

There are many people that trapped 127-128mph on their bone stock Z06 so the potencial of the ZR1 I estimated to be in the 140s after they add minor bolt ons.
There are only like one or two people that actually modded their ZR1s, just wait a few more weeks or months and we will see someone doing 9's and 140s(I think)

Ah yes forgot forgot about the weight...humm didn't know they broke 700whp already. I read about one that did 650whp...a street car trapping 145mph with a couple mods is insane.

 

Hey Carlos

Yeah they are finally learning to drive them! Thats because the people that are buying them are getting younger. Heck you can pick up a used 06 Z06 garage queen with low miles on it for the low to mid $40k range and if you know someone that can go to the auctions even less. Heck for the price of a new Nissan 370 Z, loaded X MR or new BMW 135 just throw a few bolt-ons on the Z06 and your in the 10's

I'm putting a 100-125shot on mine and it should be good for high 9's with some DR's.

For real though that 705hp ZR1 ran a 10.21 best Et and a 138mph trap and with only a few minor upgrades and that was on stock rubber with a self proclaimed so so driver! The ZR1 is a beast from the factory that is for sure.
