Should have been at byron about a month ago. ZR1 vs a New "stock" GTR.

GTR Went 10.9 vs the ZR1's 11.0

Thanks guys for all the compliments. . .seriously couldn't have been done without the members of this forum.

Shout outs definitely go to BOR, BB and Charlie. . .(for making me push my car to beat his times. . .in my car; always being there to help a hand (and still to my amazement - offering. . .really, forcing me to use his DR's and for all the hand me downs. . . respectively!!!!!!)

I'm actually a little twisted right now - I went back and reviewed the video of BOR driving my car and he was consistently ripping off 1.6 60's - ****er still would have been faster in my car today if he wasn't chilling in the outer banks

Seriously, going full throttle from a standstill with DRs....nothing quite like it

Any chance you can post the slip to compare splits?

Damn, 300's and chargers in the 9's. Must have at least 427's on the sauce.

It was a good day. I ran a 10.96 1st pass, then spent the day trying to get the shifts and fueling better. I should have left it alone. Lol

That 300 was pretty crazy, as we're the gtr's. The black e55 was running great. Accomplished my goal and didn't want to keep beating on the car. Drive home, swapped tires and took the wife to dinner. Performance sedans are the new sports car. Lol

Don't think any of those runs in the 9's we're on nos but the 300 def had a s/charger. These guys were cutting 1.4's

Well done my friend. I felt the Earth tilt a little of axis that day, as I was splashing the Range Rover through the ocean surf, in the Outer Banks. That could only mean I was no longer quicker than the owner, in his own car.

We can't have this. No sir-reeee-bob. Can't have this at all.

I saw that you updated your dragtimes slips for your SL600. Wow my GT-R is so close to your SL600... it ran 11.163 @ 125.33 mph... we might have to line them up....although.... I ran without launch control....

Sounds like it'd be an amazing race, as long as the planets are aligned for me. My guess is, in the conditions that give me 11.1x, those same conditions are 10.9x for you. Next rental...ME, YOU and a GoPro.

I still remember when you went from bone stock to a tune only

You have a very strong car man, not sure what your future plans are but there's lots more in her, specially after you are cooled off throughout a full pass.
