Yep. The zr1 is fast from a dig, but on the highway it's crazy fast.

I believe that 2nd vette is more than just bolt on's. I hear a good bit of lope.
Actually the fast list for an all-stock Z06 on drag radials is 10.74, with multiple other folks cracking 10s on a Z06 with drag radials. The fastest recorded Z06 bone-stock down to the tires was 10.98.

That said, there is no reason why a ZR1 Vette wouldn't be deep deep into the 10s since the Z06 has cracked high 10s.

Jsut gonna take a bit more time Im sure. Just like its taken ranger almost 6yrs to get to 10.74 the other day! I think Kyle or someone else (hundreds of 10 sec ZR1 passes out there) will hit 10.20's but i think that will be about it. Either way its just totally insane for both cars to be that fast!

My point exactly...this time should come at no surprise. Id love to see what ranger (i think thats his name) could do with a ZR1.

He borrowed one at a track rental last year and I think he ran 10.8 first time down the track?
