Pics Of Your Z On The Track...

[Z06 Tom]

Let's see some shots of Z06s doing what they do best... Drags, DEs, anything you've got.

Here's mine at Mid-Ohio last Spring:

Firebird Raceway, Eagle, ID (Boise)
My eb Z06 won the Chevy Allstars Corvette division.

Also Firebird

How do I make these pictures show up without making people go to the Firebird website?

All you have to do is right click on the immage, hit "Properties" and cut and paste the Address (URL) in the "Insert Immage"

box above ^ .

BTW: Nice Z, what was your time?

 

[DRTH VTR]

Thanks!

Oops- forgot to answer the time question.

The track is at 2600 feet and it is usually in the 90's when I race.

The best I have done is 12.42 @ 113.67. That is stock except drag radials and a VaraRam intake. More typical runs are 12.5-12.6 @ 112MPH. I have run a 12.4X three times. That would translate to about 12.0 @ 118 at sea level, according to the conversion calculations that I have seen.

I hope so! The Z06 is not a garage queen.

Hi Z06 Tom -

That track SUCKS! I did an 11.90 @ 126mph there last summer. I couldn't hook up to save my life, and I was on drag radials!

BTW: Who won? I bet it was the Z, right? :Silly

Hi guys -

Yup - That track does suck - combine that with me not being able to drive my Z06...but I still took him.

This was taken the very first time I ever had the car on a drag strip - it was just broken in - Late May 2002 after buying the car in December 2001.

I thought "...great - ZR1 for my very first time down the strip...."

I had a terrible wheel spinning, wait for the green light to shine launch...and still beat the ZR1. WE both wanted to lose that race...

end of race pic...

and the dismal timeslip...

I later was able to squeak out a 12.9 at Beech.

mqqn-

I added drag radials and a VaraRam. I run 12.5-12.6 fairly consistently, and have gone as fast as 12.42 at 113.6. All runs were at 2600' elevation. The drag radials will get you 0.3-0.5 seconds, and the VaraRam will at 3-4 MPH to the trap speed. You have low 12 second passes in that car with some very simple add-ons.

Thanks for the info Jim - and thanks for your confidence in my driving...:L

The car was 100% bone stock down to the air in the tires when this run took place.

I have since had the car tuned by Breathless Performance (went from 356 RWHP to 372 RWHP dyno verified...) and then after the tune I installed a complete Halltech TRAP system. I had it re-tuned after teh Halltech, but I did not get it on the dyno after the re-tune.
