FAST time, this guy obviously knows how to launch his car. Others getting 11.5-12.5 with 2.0-2.4 60-foot times. When driven properly this beast is a K2 slayer and maybe even a K4 killer.

Default C6Z06 Bone Stock on Drag Radials 11.31 at 126.92
Made my inaugural passes in the C6 Z06 today at MIR in Southern Maryland. Air temperatures at race time were in the [mid-40s]; track surface temps were in the low 50s measured by my infrared laser temperature probe.

Traction was decent considering this was opening day and there wasn’t much track rubber lain down.

Here are the splits on my fifth and best pass:
60'........1.847
330'......4.930
660'......7.413 @ 99.80
1000'.....9.526
1320'...11.311 @ 126.92

DA at the time of that run was about negative 400 feet.

I have a lot of room for improvement on the 60’; need to figure out the clutch release and throttle squeeze, which are not the same as on my C5Z.

But today certainly confirmed to me that 10s are possible bone-stock with a little better track conditions and more seat time to get the launch right.

As a point of reference my C5Z06 with 363 rwhp had a best 60’-1320’ pass of 9.85. Today my C6Z06 ran that split in 9.47, and that will improve in the coming 60 days, as will the 60’ time.

My oil temps remained around 120 at the line and the water temps were 216 or above. The best pass was at a water temp of about 195.

I ran 18 psi in the BFG 345.30.18 DRs; 40 psi in the stock fronts and made first pass with a quarter tank of fuel.

Appreciated the support and kind words of a fine group of CF members who made the trip to MIR to root for the home team. Wish I could have made the 11.31 while they were still observing. And I suspect Steve Row will post up with his eye-witness account.

Best to all,

Ranger

He always got great times in his C5 Z06. Very impressive.

e55 baller

yeah he ran a 11.8@117 STOCK in the C5 Z06. Ranger knows how to get ever last HP to the ground.

enzom

I would bet that it will be a while before we see anyone beat Ranger's time in a stock Z.

e55 baller

I'd go far enough to say that no stock Z06 will eclipse his time, if I am correct he had the fastest C5Z time. 127 is such a brutal mph.

WayneE

I agree, but there may be quicker times by C6 Z's on drag radials. Anyone know what size DRs he was using?

04E55 AMG

Ranger went to Capitol today and lowered that time to 11.2 and close to 126mph.

Just running stock with 345 BF DR's on 18" CCW rims!

They told him he needs a cage next time so he may be part of the group when we rent the track.

His 60' time was 1.74. With warmer temps he should be getting 1.6/1.5 and making runs in the 10's

Just amazing that a stock Z06 and get into the 10's.

Can not wait for my 07 to arrive later this year!

amgdriven

That STOCK Z06 will my W210 E55.

BoBcanada

how about this, slightly tuned C6 Z06 runs 11.01@127.33!

http://www.thevettedoctors.com/video...ors_pm1101.wmv

The car has a Vette Doctor LS7 Edit Tune, American Racing Headers - Vette Doctors Series Z06 Headers and a Meziere Electric water pump. He used a set of 315 DR.

The car dyno'd at 501RWHP and 492RWTQ.

Thats it im gonna get one of those beasts!

enzom

Amazing. Needing a cage after only DR's.

Wonder how those stock half shafts are going to do with those DR's. Hopefully, GM really improved them over those in the C5Z. Guys with big power were breaking those things pretty regularly.

dragonAMG

Spero --- what's up man? Congrats on the Z06. I meant to return your call but my phone erased your number! That is awesome!!! You're going to love it. My neighbor just bought one and the new Z06 is rock solid in every repect. That car is simply amazing.

BTW -- I bought Chris' 2004 E55 K2. It should arrive next week.

Note to self.....don't F with new Z06.......got it.

WOW!!!

04E55 AMG

Hey Josh,

I talk to Chris on a regular basis and he mentioned to me that you are the new proud owner. Congrats on the new car! I have seen and driven that car on the track and you will love it It has all the major Kleemann mods installed!

I would suggest getting the TB as your next mod.

Thanks for the kind words on the new Z, it will be BLK with the Q44 grey rims.

newton22

Awesome driver + C6 Z06 = damn.

Richard Galing

Props to Paul Major & Ranger for their impressive runs. Shout out to the Vette Doctors!!!

dragonAMG

Yes, I can't wait for it to be delivered. Per my conversations with Chris, the car sounds amazing and well taken care of. As for future mods, I plan on getting the cams, throttle body, and lsd.

I can't wait to hear about, see pics, and watch video of your new Z06. For these to run low 11's with no mods is absolutely remarkable. I'm sure you'll have yours running 10's in no time.

cte430

Man, I gotta say it pains me to see the sig for my car now in your sig!! My 997 S better get hear soon!!

Also, don't forget to talk to Cory about the new brake kit they were coming out with. That would have been my next mod, as this car is pretty tough on rotors.

dragonAMG

Chris,

I feel your pain... I felt the same way when selling my car. That's why I had to replace it with another AMG/Kleemann car.

You're going to love the 997S. Don't forget to post pics and impressions about the car.

I was checking out the brake kit that Evo now has available. Expensive stuff but I'm guessing it is worth every penny. I will also talk to Cory and Brandon. Chances are that I'll just get everything done at once while at Kleemann (Cory and/or Brandon: I'm you're reading this, makes me a deal I can't refuse ).
