Some great runs tonight, E55, E63, 2 Z06 one on the bottle running low 12's. The other stock.

This time it was clear as day I peak over and in the left lane is a pewter Z06, it actually said Z06 on the side of the car. I had watched the other yellow Z06 run an 11.9@118 and was not feeling good about this matchup. Pull up to the tree and reel off a .038 reaction time jumping out on the Z06. I am ahead at 60 ft , 330 ft and 1/8th , he starts pulling but guess what race ends and the 63 holds off the lighter and equally powered vehicle. I know the Z06 drivers have to be pissed they are losing to 4 door 4500 lb cars. I shattered my previous best tonight and managed some incredible 60 ft times with my new pilot sport cups. The Z06 had the race continued would have rushed past but , he ran out of room. Oh the horror! So I am 2-0 racing the car that is faster than the SLR, LOL.

Good runs!
That 60' time for the Z06 is horrible,you killed him out of the hole.Not really an easy car to launch super hard.Any vehicle that can put 30mph+ on the back half is moving,he gained almost 27mph

AMG_55

very nice

juicee63

Yeah no question , the car would have an easy time passing me from a fwy roll. Too bad we were on a track! How frustrating that must be to know you are faster and not be able to beat a HEAVY Sedan, oh I mean HEAVY 4 door coupe. My 60 ft was not great but my reaction time slaughtered him!!!

:-)

Gotta get the jump when racing a faster car. I think it would be unfair to expect the CLS to keep up with a Z06 when the difference in weight is so drastic.

Cant stop laughing
Z06 -13.5!!!!!!!

I ran 11.9 on Pilot sport.Tyres 35psi. On Airfield not on DragStrip.....Awfull surface!

Thericker

+1

Jeez you beat him and he out trapped you by almost 7 mph?? ... dont want to take anything away from you but how often will you really get a chance to race a Z06 from a dig in the real world.

Anyways good run ... will someone who can launch a Z06 please race Josh

As much as that 112 trap is, it's still low for a C6 Z06, so I would venture to guess it was a C5 version? I've seen those run in the 13's with inexperienced drivers. But a win is a win, enjoy and congrats!

Id bet you a million bucks if it is stock , you would not get an 11.9 at LACR. Not in a million runs. I have beaten too many of these cars to simply call it "driver error". Keep laughing because you run at Los Angeles County Raceway and you will fly back to the Ukraine crying most of the flight home.

Your Z06 would likely do a 13.5-13.6 at LACR. Do you guys even read. The Corvette drivers dial their own times. THEY ALL CHOOSE between 13.4-13.7 on this track , why? Because that is what they run. You run what you run. The Z06 at this track is a 13.5 car end of story. Show me , and I will report differently. Racing on the dragstrip is far more technical than rolling down an abandoned airstrip!! Someone with a stock Z06 who has recorded a time at LACR under 13.0 please tell me bout it.

Yo Vic,

I could care less if the guy out traps me, it means nothing. What matters is reaction time and the 60ft. You beat any car there and you are likely headed to victory. I dont care if your racing a 1000hp Mustang , you beat him by a half second on the reaction time it puts alot of pressure on him. Last night I made it to the bracket racing final, PRO TROPHY. I lost to a 1970 station wagon running 18.70 1/4 mile. How did I lose? Well he dialed a near perfect light, I had to spot him 4 seconds and I panicked and moved out to quickly. Disqualified. I had done the same thing the wagon did to me to my previous 4 opponets. A good light wins most drag races, the Z06 is not fast enough to make up for a bad light period. It happens over and over again at LACR. There is one Z06 that runs 11.9 seconds @120 plus but he is on the bottle !

The Vette drivers are very cool and also frustrated but they run what they run and I do not think the guys want to risk breaking out so they keep the dial times at 13.5 and above to prevent having to stress over the perfect launch etc.. For the record I have not lost to a Z06, nor do I claim my car is faster. I only post the timeslip because it once again demonstrates the difficulty of the track and how cars under EQUAL CONDITIONS perform.

juicee63

Its actually very good The DA at which this run took place was 4300

118 mph trap at sea level. Not terrible

It could of been a C5. It said Z06 but how do you tell C5 vs C6?

juicee63

You ran an 11.9 as well? You run an 11.9 in your C5 @ LACR and I will buy you a C16

FishtailnZ

Didn't know you were at altitude, that will certainly alter things for sure. As for the difference in C5 to C6 (other than the extra 100 hp *L*)...a couple pics:

C5 Z06





C6 Z06

juicee63

Thanks, gret pics and without a question the car had that extra air intake so it was an 07. The difference is clear. stock C6 was running 13.9 at this track. The altitude here really douses the N/A motors my car included. Thanks for pointing out the diff now I will be more accurate when logging the Vette times at LACR. I know the cars are much faster based on other data sets but I run on a crappy track where the DA is usually 4000-5500.

JAYCL600

is that something to be proud of
, you barely broke into the 11's on a car that runs low low elevens

yaroslav

Low elevens where? On a prepaired DRAG STRIP....?

My coolant and oil temp was 221F
And in Rear tyres(Pilot Sport) 35psi ( No Slicks)
Full Fuel tank
And Awfull surface....like airstrip....
Outside Temp -100F(was very hot)
11.9@125
But on a good tarmac my 0-186mph 25ces

That day,Turbo BMW3 3L with GT35 650hp without interior,on race fuel,on slicks ran 12.2....

juicee63

You have a fast car but, It would be a 13.5 car too @ LACR. Looks like you outperformed some fassssssssssssssssssst machines. That BMW @ LACR would do a 14, LOL, HAHAHHHHAAAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHHAAAAAA , No I am chuckling.

yaroslav

May be,may be...
I do not argue

If you want i can show you the video vs CLS 6.3 30-150mph

juicee63

Sure man,

I would love to see a vid?


Thanks

ChicagoX

LPE = Lingenfelter Performance Engineering ?

So this is a Lingenfelter car not quite matching (good) stock E55K times?

Interesting.

Vic55

I think you are preaching to the choir- my statement was about the real world. I dont consider the drags to be the real world but I do consider them to be the differentiation between drivers when cars are equal or in your case cars that are not equal under same conditions as you said. My statement was about how many times on regular streets would you get a chance to line up against a C6 Z06 and run a quarter.

Sorry about the misunderstanding and again nice run

juicee63

Vic comon bro , I just need BEEEEEEER!!!!!! I understand. I also wish I could race one that the guy took the time to put on some freaking DRAG RADIALS. Hey is my TT ready yet for my 63? Have a great day buddy, I know you would show these guys how to ******* drive!

In 2 weeks will race with F430 and 997TT 620hp,hope LP640 and SLR (Video soon)

JAYCL600

Nice ride, although i cannot go thru all of your videos im sure its fast, i saw your dyno, i thought they put down more torque then that? Since this thread was about 1/4 times and trap speeds do you feel that an 11.99 is what you should be running, and what trap?

yaroslav

11.9@130mph
Man i repeat,it was awfull surface!
On a drag strip and on slicks it runs 10.3-10.5@130+

On a drag strip CGT made 12.1 then what? Nothing...Its not drag cars
+I dont care about 1/4 mile...
