Ran a ZR1 Yesterday.....

[sambandit]

I'm a little disappointed.... First of all, no I didn't get a vid... next time for sure!

We went from about 40-140ish I would guess. We both started in 2nd... I spun my tires as hit the rev limiter and he had good traction. Anyway, on the hit, he pulled about a car because of the traction issues, but after that point, it was pretty much a dead heat. I would of figured that my 100 extra RWHP would make up for the 500-600 lb weight disadvantage and I would pull on him a little, not the case.

I have 3.31 gears going in instead of the 3.73s and a one piece drive shaft. I'll go try it again at that point, where traction isn't an issues for me, and make sure to video it! ZR1 is a badass machine and noone should ever take them lightly!

I am so waiting to find one with my new toy. I just hope it is not some old man behind the wheel. LOL.

good death

 

[sambandit]

Yeah, fortunately he is a friend of mine, so messin around can happen pretty much anytime. I knew they were badass machines, just didn't know they were quite that badass.....lol

 

[AC 5.0]

Has he done anything to the car at all? Or still bone stock?

And yes, they are pretty balls!

 

[sambandit]

Bone stock

good run Scott. Was this before or after the block party? Was a good time in Golden. You guys sounded great:beer:

SAMBANDIT how did you get 670 RWHP out of a roush system?? I am looking into the same pacakge and they claim about 580 to the tires? I would love to make over 650 to the ground safely!

I wanna see your new toy!

That is a lot of weight disadvantage to overcome, and 140'ish? you got balls

Hopefully the gears and driveshaft do some good an the traction issue isn't so harsh with the 3.31's

Balls, no, stupidity mostly.......

Nice death, Id like to see a run when you get some traction and get a vid!

 

[Nathan'sTsi]

You trypically need ~150 more whp to pull have Z06/ZR1 due to the weight, aero, and gearing. It seems crazy but that that is just how it is, which is why the 2013 gt500s and Z06 are pretty dman close stock.

I wanna see your new toy!

It is coming home tomorrow, but here is a preview:

Oh that things looks like its going to be nasty

 

[PhillyLS1]

Keep in mind how much drag kills these cars.

The Vettes are very slippery in the air.

Yep, weight is huge. I thought I read a ZR1 will pull 4-5 cars on a Z06 is this kind of race, so I'm pretty sure I have a Z06 covered.... Not so much with the big boy ZR1 though.....
