LOHRTBT Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 They rate the 02 Z06's at 12.8 seconds in the 1/4, but know of at least two people who are running 11.5 in STOCK Z06's!! Who and where?? damn I know about redshifter or what ever in mass running 11.8's but he isnt "stock" but damn close. Impressive as hell nonetheless. Seems like most Z06's run from 12.4-12.9 stock as a whole.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mods he has is a Vararam, 160 stat, and BFG street tires. Still damn good to get 11.5 with 405hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombtech Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 If it is true what you say about Motor Trend's times being off, then does that mean that when they got a 14.7 for the Harley it really does a 13.2? Or when they got a 15.1 in a regular cab Hemi Ram, it should be a 13.6? Or does that logic only apply to Chevys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-D F-150 Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Your numbers seem overly optimistic, but if they come true it will be impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 I seem to recall reading about MotorTrends testing methodology once. They do their 0-60 and 1/4 mile tests from an idle, no power braking as most of us would do to get the best time. I think that is one reason for the comments you see people making about the 'dumb test drivers' at magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't tell you, but i welcome anyone to come out and verify the times with me. I'm just giving you what i got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried powerbraking, but on the EXT it gave me slower times than just stpoming on the gas the split second after left off the brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
