ZR1 faster than L98 even w/o "full Power"

[coltmckinney]

My first corvette was a 1990 convertible with the 250hp. My current ZR1 seems much faster than that even with the valet switch off. I read that with the switch off, it has 210hp. Mine has many mods so I expect it to be quicker, but it seems much faster. When I first drove the ZR1 it was without full power and I was impressed. Then I turned the switch on and floored it and had to pick up my eyeballs from the back of the seat!

You know he's right, right? :L

Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in. All corvettes are great. This is my 4th...and my favorite to drive. My 66 big block was the most fun to look at.

No, I didn't mean that. I checked out a ZR1 for J. last year and we talked about it a lot.

My Z made 265rwhp with the power key off and ran 13.60 @ 102 i lost 2 full seconds and 20+MPH.
With my power key off i lost 170 RWHP but only 45 RWTQ
I don't think a stock ZR-1 withpower key off will take a stock L98.

 

[coltmckinney]

ZR1Pete, Why did you run it with the power key off?

 

[ZR1Pete]

I raced a friend on the street with a LT1 Z28 with my power key off it was a pretty close race,so i thought i'd try it at the track just to see what the car will do.

Damn, mine is dog-slow with the secondaries disabled.

Mine too... Seems like it takes forever to get through the gears!

Drop your Z's off at my house for a few weeks,when i'm done with them they'll be ZR-1's on steroids.
