It would make me sick to watch your Z06 run 10.5x N/A with no nitrous. Especially after I see the multiple 1.4x 60' times to boot with no parts breakage. I wish I lived closer to NJ and I would run some pitiful low 12's and watch the real muscle. Post again if you guys run in the future on a Thursday. Good luck.

Stephen, are you running low 12s stock? If so, that is more than enough to scare most stock Z06s (and I love the Z06)

Yes, 10s on motor alone is serious power and I don't know what Brent has done to it to get it there but it wasn't cheap!

As soon as the track opens I will run the car. My g-tech says that the car should run 12.3-12.4 depending upon traction. Of course with the open differential and stock tires, I would be stupid to run the car without the traction control on. I'll post what happens in a couple weeks. As a former Z06 owner, I have read much about Brent's car as well as his Cartek comrades in NJ. Their group is awesome and they put down some serious #'s.
