Another nice video. Damn, would you have ever thought a stock ZR1 doing 10 seconds. Respectful run and indredible driver too. Enjoy.

its moving for sure!

 

I think that's Ranger from the Corvette Forum. He's an incredible driver. I think he had his C6 ZO6 into the very low 11s.

 

In the video it does state that Ranger is driving someone else's car

 

since its at MIR it could be jamie furman driving it

 

Yet another example of a great car! so many cars and so little resources

 

Interesting that Ranger is faster in the C6Z on DR's though. Not the trap speed, but the E:T. I think he runs 10:80's on DR's in the Z06.

 

I believe his best was 10.85 on dr in a stock Z06. There have several others close his time as well.

 

i love this car !

 

Fantastic driving by the best there is (Ranger).

I absolutely love this car !!! I rode in one on the track at speeds up to 160 mph or so
and it is incredible in bone stock condition. Incredible Car!

 

How is that the best there is? He bogs in each run? Good time, but it's once again, at MIR.

 

All the good times are at MIR. I wish we all could run at that track.

I think Jamie Furman ran his Z06 at 10.83 on drag radials - of course at MIR. He also has times there for his GT2 - ACR Viper & FGT at MIR. Which should give us a good comparison of those cars on the same track - just not the same day.

 

Yep...since stock Z06's with only 505 HP have already done 10's, it's not surprising that a ZR1 with 130 more HP does 10's as well. What surprises me the most though is how close the two cars are, considering the huge HP delta. A buddy with just a intake, exhaust and tune on his Z06 was a dead-nuts tie against a stock ZR1 from a roll during 3 different races.

For comparison, below are the record times for stock Z06s:

Bone stock on the stock runflats:
1----10.981 @ 128.90--1.77---jamie furman
2----11.138 @ 127.20--1.76---Ranger

Bone stock but with drag radials:
1--10.831 @ 130.05--1.70---jamie furman
2--10.856 @ 129.50--1.67---Ranger
3--10.912 @ 126.32--1.62---Dr.Ron

 

Now that IS interesting.

I would think that the extra 90-100rwhp would give the ZR1 a distinct edge from a roll.

What speeds were used for the roll runs?

 

No shocker here. It was just a matter of time until we saw a ZR1 actually get driven hard. Seems too many wax-n-shine guys bought them, not enough drivers
