wonder what blaq and hotlap will do with that information? So easy a teenager can put 3/4s of a second on their super car.

That's the dragstrip that's only about 45min from me. I plan on taking my car there when I get it if they are still open! Would be super cool if he squeezes low 10s out of this car today as the DA is not near what it usually gets when they open back up in February which is definitely when I will be taking mine!

Or understimating Speed Phenom skills he is very fast track driver I watched him chase a Ford GT with his 350 and was insane driving on the track. He is good so 10.66 seams like good time considering you are not doing anything with the car.

Also puts a GT500 in ordinary hands at 10.6, lower than what Ford said it would do. So now Evan Smith is not the only mythical driver to achieve this. I guess the next argument will be the GT500 drives itself and anyone can do it, while the ZLE takes "skill"

No, the next argument will be that the ZL1 is a 10.9 car followed by, well...you have to have it in launch mode...you can't do that at a stoplight. I can already feel it coming.

Considering he did an 11.56 and an 11.72 at the GT500 event, I doubt he was driving

Or he drived when was hotter and the car was hotter with less tire left after some other guys :?

Besides dynoing, get the car on the scale to see what they really weigh. Sucks that you guys in the north east wont be able to drive because of snow.
I'd drive this in the rain just to get break in done.

I think that's one of the reasons we took those results with a grain of salt....most of us would have likely ran the same terrible times with no appreciable seat time and only being allowed 2 runs.

With a rented track, and enough time, I don't see why those runs couldn't be his.

Lets face it. Itll be an incredibly easy car to drag. Experiment with launch rpm. Find the optimum launch rpm. Type it in the launch control. Experiment with optimum tire pressure. And hold on. Maybe keep a log to remember how the car performs best under certain track conditions. The GT500 and the new vette are gonna be very fast cars for anyone that buys one.
