So it's faster, what's the big deal?

I've seen honda civic run low 10's. It was most likely built for less than what the price of the zr1, hell z06 too.

there really isn't anything major done to that car. It's got a small shot of nitrous and a cam, I don't see it listing a set of $3k heads or anything like that that would make it seem suspicious. Also remember the car is an auto, autos are purely track cars, they don't need to make a whole lot of power to put up a good number. One could buy a c5 and build that car for 25K if they know what their doing.

I call BS on this one. I see a stock LS6 intake and no mention of any aftermarket heads. Cam only with a 75 hit of spray and a high stall might hit just shy of 500rwhp but to say it run 10's on street tire, No-way! On street tires I'd give him 11.50's and thats being generous, unless it was Ron driving then maybe 10's

Without knowing cam specs, who knows?

I don't know how many 10 second passes a driver could get away with with no roll bar.

And he claims 10s on street tires. Low tens with slicks is "estimated."

Lets just say the car is making 380 rwhp on motor and on a 75 wet shot 450rwhp.. Thats pretty good power but not ZR1 power.

yeah through stock heads even on the n20 i dont see it making that kind of power. Although, it could just be someone with money that went to an engine builder and they just have no idea. I mean it would be very easy to tell if you were to just go and look at it first. who knows anything is possible on the internet

Depends what you mean faster. 1/4, sure, top speed, most likely not. Not only that, but it doesnt have as technical advancements in it like the ZR1 like Ferrari derived brakes, a multitude of carbon fiber panels and parts, and the longevity that the ZR1 would last without maintenance compared to that vette to keep up wiht it.

As long as there is no turn at the end of that quarter mile I guess you can try to make that comparison.

you all missed the 3:42 axle ratio!! No way is that car running 10s with a 3:42 gear considering the HP to weight ratio maybe high 11s.
