Impressive time! :zoom:

wow, :bow:

GM Engineers must been poppin corks somewhere in Detroit right now

That is incredible!!!

Video clip of run
 

Here is a video clip of Ranger's pass.
Listen closely and you'll hear a slight bog on the launch which may have hurt his time ever so slightly.

Zora Arkus Duntov and Ed Cole are looking down from heaven with a big smile on their faces!!:cool:

Exactly, a bunch of drunk engineers.

Which explains why they want to build the Blue Devil/Stingray.

Keep up with a Veyron for $100k!

would that mean with a good launch/run my z would be in the low 10's! HOLY $***...i need to get me some drag radials..

W/your mods on your Z06 you should be well into the 9's w/BFG's

i think i will order some this week!. man i bet they threw him off the track quick fast after he pulled off that time.

What's your RWHP RWTO on that demon:v:

it made 526 rwhp and 498 rwtq, and that was on 20" hre's :v:
so real close or a little above 600 to the crank...

Well w/BFG'S on some 16-18" wheels you'll throw down another 25-30rwhp EZ.. Then factor in your 100hp edge over stock we are talkin' 9's like I said earlier keep us informed on your progress:)

dunno who ed cole is but i know zora is up there with a huge smile:)

i would have to guess i would be somewhere in the mid 10's. i might have a hundered horses up on a stock z. but you have to factor in traction. even with drag radials, i think it would still have some traction problems. the wheels would have to be at least 18" to clear the rotors and i wouldnt want to put a huge tire. ( i have heard of vettes breaking parts when running tires suck as DR's.) couple shops directed me away from getting slicks as it is.

that would be my guess. 10.7-10.4 somewhere in there. now after i do suspension that might shave a 10th or two..

I agree that 10.40-10.70's with DR's should be attainable. My worry would be the stress on the clutch and axle shafts holding up especially with repeated 3500-3700 RPM launches(DR's) or 4500-5000 RPM launch on slicks.
A few C6Z06 owners have already ripped up their shafts on street tires alone.

^ The stock LS7 clutch has proved to be durable... as long as you don't bog the hell out of it or get too much traction with some DRs. Yes, many owners have seen the demise of the clutch, but Ranger has not and has proved that the stock clutch is all anyone will ever need even with light mods and decent driving ability (without too heavy of a right foot.)

But with a better clutch, could very easily come better times!

If you let say Ranger take 'er down the 1/4 you'd see 9's no question, no disrespect meant toward your skill level but Ranger really is an anomaly when it comes to the 1/4:)

Don't forget about the Cartek built 2005 C6 A4 w/Procharger + heads/cam headers, 3.15 gears, etc.. 599rwhp 495rwto on ET street radials they hit the 1/4 9.93 @ 136.88:eek:

You have very similar power to the above mentioned car it's very possible for you to run these times, if they can hook on ET street rads so can you:y

Ed Cole was an engineer with Cadillac in the late '40's~early 50's that developed the overhead valve caddy V8 and then took the technology to Chevrolet...Duntov worked with Cole and put the 265 small block Chevy in the '55 Corvette. You know the rest of the story.:cool:

130mph seems like a high trapspeed on a stock engine

no..thats right..your at 130 in 3rd..4th ends around 160ish..they say 5th goes to 198 :eek: ..and 6th is loud and pointless.
