This whole thread is really stupid if you ask me. You sight ONE vette that is suppossedly bone stock with only slicks that turns one good time. The plain simple fact about this is there are 1000s of these cars going to the track. 1000s of them do low 12s and high 11s in stock or near stock form. Yet you base all your praise on this ONE car that was probably using high HP alternative fuel and then you call the car amazing. So if it makes you happy forget buying that house and go buy that 70kmasterpeice and please by all means take it the track with slicks and let us know how close to 10.8 you get. My guess is your best will be closer to 11.8. But hey what do I know. I cant do math very well.
so what? It is a big deal...............a car with slicks that went 10's that is otherwise stock..............if i was the owner i'd post that sh_t up in a second.................

evo 265hp from 2.0= 132whp per liter= high technology
vette 500hp from 7.0=71whp per liter= weaksauce. have they even improved their hp technology from the 70s????
70s vette 350hp from 5.8 liter=60hp per liter...WOW an additional 10hp per liter in 35 years of AWESOME technology. Yep changed my mind. Vettes are awesome. I think I will go sell all 4 of my cars so I can go buy one.

nice cars, with a big price tag. there is no denying they are fast. and if that driver went 10's on just drags, cool more power to him. domestic or import fast is fast. and hp is hp. so b e impressed or dont, but give props where it is due. just the fact he went 10's and is still alive to do it again and get better is cool. the faster everyone gets the faster the bigger guys will get the faster everyone will get. motorsports is pushed by competition and the pursuit of better times, mph, hadling,hp, tq, rice, who cares, lets just keep pushing the envelope.

NO DRAMA??? Go ahead and put a Turbo or Supercharger on a stock bottem end C6 Z06 and see what happens. With the CR and week rotating assembly it is not going to last very long. And It is only a matter of time that the bolt on ones and sprayed ones are going to be rebuilt. And if you want a Vert C6 Z06 just wait it is a matter of time the ROOF is going to rip off while driving down the road... But dont get me wrong I would PIMP the hell out of it if I had one.
Vortech just came out with a supercharger for the Z06 @ Sema. It gains 150hp on only 6psi with basic bolt-ons.
That motor is very capible of running 6psi alll day long. Hell an Acura Integra could handle 6psi lol. Ive had several conversations with major corvette builders such as Lingenfelter, East Coast Supercharging, Vette Doctors, LG motorsports etc.. Several of them have already explored supercharging and turbocharging the vette for over a year now with minimal issues with the car. Yes I will agree with you there are a few week spots JUST LIKE ANY CAR that have to be adressed when Modifying.
94AWDCOUPE: Im on the vette forms all the time. NO he was not running alternative Fuel. It was on 93 octane. There have been a Dozen or so STOCK, I'll repeat STOCK, Z06's running between 11.2 to 10.85 WITH ONLY DR's. If your saying that car only has 11.8s in it even with DR's you obvously dont follow these cars.
IT COMES DOWN TO DRIVERS as with any car.
Example: We've seen safely 13 sec cars (Evos) running 14's or even 15's???? and guys who can run 12s.

I have to say that if true that is impressive. However, I know enough dishonest people in this world and I have found that 90% of what you hear is BS. Now whether or not this guy is the other 10% of honest people, I really don't care, but I would say that unless I could personally see it and get it looked over for any modifications big or small, it is all BS to me...
I would like to add that for the sticker price of one of these things I could buy two EVOs from South Coast and have at least one of them match that time, maybe both. LOL....
My 2 peso's

Just two weeks ago there was one at the track going 11.9s at 118-119 mph. Good driver good 60fts. Are you gonna tell me that some of these cars are coming off the line capable of 127mph without any tricks done? If its true then thats just another reason to call vettes a peice of shiat. That would be like an 95whp difference between one car and the next. Imagine how pisssed you would be if you laid down 70k for a car expecting 127traps, and all you got were 119 traps.
HP calculator
3350 weight + 119traps = 441whp/520flywheel =realistic
3350 weight + 127traps = 536whp/632flywheel =tricks done
SO IS IT STARTING TO MAKE SOME SENSE????

I promise the only mod to that z06 was drag radials. I've seen the car run several times, the driver knows exactly what he is doing and what it takes to run those times.
I think the reason you don't see more bone stock c6 z's in the lower 11s is because of the roll bar requirement. I was at a track rental a couple of weeks back and there were 6 z06's all running very low 11s to high tens. none of them had roll bars in them so there were a lot of people braking hard at the1000' mark, making it look like the car was only running a low 12 but the 1/8th time told the whole story.

607whp from 2.0.
607 x 7/2= 2124whp......yeah your right. he needs to make another 124 from my 2000 estimate.

evo 265hp from 2.0= 132whp per liter= high technology
vette 500hp from 7.0=71whp per liter= weaksauce. have they even improved their hp technology from the 70s????
70s vette 350hp from 5.8 liter=60hp per liter...WOW an additional 10hp per liter in 35 years of AWESOME technology. Yep changed my mind. Vettes are awesome. I think I will go sell all 4 of my cars so I can go buy one.

Secondly, compare all aspects of the 70s motor and the motors of today and tell me there isn't much difference. Like it or not, and there is no reason anyone has to like it, the Z06 is one of the best performance bargains on the market. However, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean the capabilities of the car are any less. Don't confuse your personal taste with real world measures of performance. Again, how many cars out there can outperform the Z06? The list is short and there aren't any for less money.

Imagine what THAT would do with a good driver and drag radials!
