stock Z06 stock tires runs about a 9.20 in the 8th mile here in Jax. Race him from a dig with some good gas and it shouldn't be much of a race..![]()

Guys, Wicked is running around 11.70's in the 1/4, there is no 460 HP stock tire 2004 Z06 that is going to come close to that.
If you pull a decent 60 its all over right away. Most of these guys can not drive a stick with HP out of the hole anyways, they end up killing the tires.
If you ran very close to your sig time, I would put $50 on you.![]()

Did you see what the other vette ran, yep thats what most will do.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but the general rule for 1/8th to 1/4 times is generally just add half of the 1/8th time. From the slips I have seen, its usually right on the money and only off by 1-3 tenths at most.
At slowest, Wicked is pushing 12.0's.

Multiply the 1/8 mile time by 1.57 and that gets you very close if the car is running right

Its not working very well with any of these times, maybe 1.54 but the add half still worked out a bit closer.

Yea, just an air filter and a cat back.
I have to agree, most Vette owners can't race, my guess is only 5% can do a good job racing, 15 % average skill and 75% below average skill from my experience at the track. I think I fall in the 15% range.
Most Z06's are still stock, maybe an air intake and a cat back. In stock form, most will run 12.7 - 13.3 or so depending on driver. There is a forum member here, that ran 11.5's all stock in his Z06, but he is the exception and a VERY good driver. He would be in the top 1% of skill level.
Head and Cam cars are pulling 450 to the tires now and many have been in the 10's. 383 strokers are in the 500 range to the tires and 427 strokers are in the 550 to 600 rwhp range, all NA, no juice or power adders.

FWIW & IMHO:
I didn't know that here was a forum member here who ran 11.5's stock, but "J-rod"'s father is a member of this board and J-rod has run, I believe, 11.57, maybe. with stock air box removed and slicks, maybe street slicks. J-rod is more like 1/10 of a %, and maybe another few decimal places amongst the crowd. I used to spend some time over there, and J-rod was always one of the top 3, maybe sometimes the top dawg out of all of Corvetteforum racers. I must cop to being at least the worst of the lower skilled 75% crowd. I could probably establish a new record for being the slowest. There used to be only about 3 or 4 people over on corvette forum that were consistently tops.
