New z51 vette

[AVIDMOTION]

First I would love to say I beat his ass, but I didn't. A simple race. Both at light, he revved up so I new it was on. Light turned green, vett gave me the hit then he punched it. My car got a great hole shot, with the window down I could here him coming. At 70 he was at my door and pulling on by, I waited till he was physically past me and shut it down. I felt great I even gave him decent race. It was worth it just to see the look of surprise on the passengers face, then he strained his neck backwards to snap a shot of my car with his phone. Vett sounded awesome going by me.

They are ridiculously fast in stock form (light weight) especially with the new A8 trans which didn't make it's debut until the 2015s...Sounds like you had some fun!!!

Nice run for sure.
Maybe it was Marty playing with ya

the new stingray with the a8 is no joke, good run I bet that was fun...

I got my car retuned for the additional Red Alto clutches and CircleD 3000 stall and what a difference, Fell back in love with my car all over again. It was running so good I went out hunting. A subie WRX with characteristic shitcan muffler was first up. It was obviously worked and I watched it demolish an older el camino, which had 350 markings on the side. So I worked my way over and took him to task. He pulled out a high rpm holeshot on me, but by 60 I was going on by him. I drove around for 30 minutes before I got in a major race with a worked older CTS-v. 3 runs were pretty much even with me getting the holeshot and him running me down, great fun with windows down. Next was a badass Supra, I know them and a worked one is out of my league but I like competition, it was also a waste of my gas. All butt hurt I headed home. Right before packing it in, a new still with sticker on the window Chevy SS. He gave me a little show banging through the gears, he could obviously shift, good for him. I eased up to the light, he gave me the thumbs up and fingers forward as if to indicate lets go. No problem there I would not miss this for the world. The light turns green and I get a awesome holeshot, I slingshotted out of there like a jet with a steam catapult, I never saw him, though I could hear him banging gears back by my quarter panel, around 80 he fell back to two cars and I let out. We came to another light and instead of coming alongside and talking or going again he pulled behind me and then stayed back 3 or 4 cars, I guess he had enough so I went home...

I just saw on the internet (so it has to be true) a DEAD STOCK tires and all C7 Z06 run a 10.4 1320.

Avid, I'm surprised you raced. Were you able to stop with those rotors and pads?

[AVIDMOTION]

Oh yea, my combo is awesome, only brake problems I had were the red stuff with these rotors, mine are the 4000xs, not sure if different then the 4000, mine had a gold hat when new. The red stuffs lasted less then 10,000 miles and would get greasy feeling after several high speed stostops. This combo works wonders that I have now. BTW I only have fronts are the 4000xs, rears hp GMPP with hawk hps.

Believe it or not, those results were reproduced, and six months apart at that...

I think Avid said he ran a Z51. The Z51 has the 460 HP LT1 and doesn't run 10.x stock. Z51 is more like mid to high 11's stock...which is still pretty damn good, just not as impressive as the Z06...

[johnbell2]

yep, correct, we were just off topic...

buddy of mine just bought a new c7 z06 and is going to build it up... he just came off of building a 1300whp GTR (Boost Logic) but has owned many Corvettes over the years, so we'll see how this goes...
