We see times fairly often from guys with race cars, drag suspension cars, stripped out cars.

I'm curious on the times from cars that are full weight, no drag suspensions, no missing parts, sway bars intact etc..
Basically cars that don't handle like boats and are driven to the track (regardless of car type, driving your car to the track always scores more points with me).

I'm a big c6 zo6 fan, i'm wondering anyone matches the handling and the quarter in similar manner.

Well aware that usually when cars handle well, they run the quarter at a slower time and higher mph.

I just happen to really like well rounded cars.

I'll have some time slips here soon with my notch. It will prolly only run high 10s but trap 150 or so. Should weigh around 3050-3100.

150?
At least your goals are modest, lol.
I gotta guess that you are putting down 750rwhp or so?

I'm thinking about getting into going back to the track end of this season or beginning next year.
For the most part on a stiff road race style suspension, 18 inch wheels, no roll bar (really don't want one).
I'd probably be happy with 11.5@125.
Likely could do much better than that, but surely not thinking parachute territory, lol.

What was your final Hp "number"? Your mph is probably close. Still have to grub decent for a 11.5 though. Not unlikely, You have the power for it just wondering about suspension/tire combo.

480rwhp, 500rwhp
275 35 18 drag radials

With the tires warm on good pavement it will stick like glue when I hit second.
H&R rear springs, 300lb front coil overs, adjustable koni's in front, adjustable qa1's in rear, Steeda lowers, MM uppers, panhard bar.

11.5 is probably worst case scenario, 03 cobra's have gone faster with less in heavier cars and an irs shaking the rear so bad the trunk almost comes open lol.

When traction is good the massive low end is a blessing, when it's cool out on mediocre pavement, it's a nightmare.

There's a guy down here with a TT termi compound boosted with the blower. He's full weight. His track times are top secret, but I know he's putting up 39 psi... And he's eaten several UG Lambos. It's an exceptionally bad ass car. Lots of money in it.

It will make around 850-900. It's a full suspension car with a built irs. I used to be all about drag only setups, but in reality they suck. Just look at the trap speed, that's your indicator that it's actually making the power the dyno says it makes. 480hp in a dedicated setup will trap 130+.

Drag setups really do suck, they handle so terrible you really have to wonder if it's worth it for a few tenths. In competition I get it, but just for the hell of it, it makes little sense.
I tried it a couple times, but never again.

I picked my goals cautiously, I just feel there is very little info on foxes that handle and run the quarter.
I know the two don't go hand and hand, but that's what I love about the zo6, it kills it on the skid pad, runs the quarter in under 12 seconds on regular tires and is a blast to drive like foxes.
There are other cars do both better, but they remove a lot of the fun factor.

I'd like to note that the GT350 in stock trim is .3 seconds slower than the ZO6 through the 1/4 and stickers around 50k less.. Just sayin.

I was talking c6, they can be found for about 40 or less used and new they were originally like 70. I love the gt350 too, but given the choice I'd still take a c6 zo6, imo its a more raw car than the gt350.

Keep in my too, guys have run mid 10's off the showroom floor with c7 zo6's, on it's best day a gt350 is what, 11.8?
My buddy also ran 12.2 with a 5 day old c5 zo6, then a few years later a 10.9 on run flats with a c6.
I think no matter how you slice it, in a straight line the gt350 is no match.

The gt350 would be better for a collector, but i'm no collector.

Foxes are rewarding cars to drive, if you are good its a great experience, if you are bad, you wreck the car. I feel the c6 zo6 is the same.
I even like the c5 zo6, which can be had for like 20 grand.
