And to those saying a zo6 traps at above 125 here ya go



M/Ts test of a 2011 zo6/z07 shows it slower than its test of the shelby. Obviously though there are many z06s that have gone faster than 11.8 but we don't know yet what the shelby is really capable of until people with lots of seat time drive them.

Lets face it, this car is in z06/z07 territory now. The only cheap competitors of this car is the zr1 and GTR.

Though I really like the zr1
Evan Smith was there flogging them, I wonder if they used the et/mph from his runs? The video I saw from someone at SGMP Friday during the testing showed the magazine people running 11.8s, and iirc Evan said he had run 11.7s up to that point after a cool down period. That dude can flat DRIVE. He did the 12.8x LS1 test @ Etown for MM&FF many many moons ago. Regardless, that is hauling the mail, and ZL1 owners are in trouble...

In regards to the DA of 2000'...that's not terrible, especially considering the humidity in that region...it always seems to jack with my setup when I've raced in Georgia. Anyway, that DA is probably considered "average air" for that track this time of year...not bad, but not great. When I'm running in air <1000' is when I start getting giggly, lol.
