The reason we don't believe the 11.96 is the low mph and very low 60ft. Very reputable shops with excellent drivers and slicks/skinnies are barely getting 1.70 and 1.60 60ft times albeit with even more mph paying homage to the driver mod present in these shops.
When I see a video with a zl1 on goodyears running an 11.9@120 or more then I'll believe it but to see a video of a car on drag radials that doesnt show the pass and lights but shows an 11.9 on paper only to hear the tech say it'll run 12's all day on good years coupled with a sheet showing incredible 1.6x 60fts makes me obviously conclude the run was on the drag radials point blank.
That's not to say its not a great pass but if we start modding the car even slightly, then it's no longer apples to apples.
Imagine how fast the new gt500 could lap the ring if it were on handling cheater slicks like nitto nt01's or for that matter any car. It's just not plausible for goodyears to turn 1.6x times when z06's can't/have never done so apart from 1 account of a 1.68 during a weekend where vht was literally paved on for 6 second cars the following day.
You brought it up but I'm not one to hold my tongue about 1.60's being possible on goodyears. Ban or close, I'm not bad mouthing but it's blatantly obvious the tech did it on dr's.
I want the bone stock zl1 to pull 11.5's@123 for my own agenda as I have a $500 bet with a buddy that someone will this summer. I fear i will lose the bet though.
