Why wouldnt you DD a ZR1? The cars you listed are priced more, so its not a price issue.
A S65 sure would be a nice ride, and Im sure could pull off a solid 11 sec run.
There was a guy with a new CTS-V, running 11.06 on DR's, stock.

not a price issue at all. i personally want a little more comfort in a dd, a little higher off the ground, a little more room, and enough space to hold my **** for work.....plus if i had a zr1 i wouldnt want it getting wet or snowed on....

You can spray to tens but if you make it one run in the tens on the spray before it blows up, I would be shocked.

Personally, no faster than mid 11s.
It's good to have the power on tap for when you need it, and not too much power that I'd lose the car when or have ridiculous MPG.

I'm loving my LS1. 13 second car and I'm getting 23 per gallon through an A4. Not too shabby, right?


My plans for the car include 11.75 passes, hefty brake & suspension upgrades.

You should change the poll to show 11-13 or 11-12.5 and 1.5 or slower. A 10 second car on NOS is not a 10 second daily driver because you don't use NOS while driving to work so it's not a really good question. A 10 second cam/head etc car would be tough to daily drive, a forced induction 10 second car probably wouldn't be too bad. 11-12.5 second car can be a dd easily though. I ran a supercharger on my 93 Z28 as a dd for almost 5 years and never had problems. It wasn't a 10 or 11 second car but it shows you can dd a forced induction car. Towing was much easier with the extra power as well.

just because you can go zero-to-60 in 3.5 seconds doesn't mean you have to do it at EVERY traffic light...

Silver... and I'm pretty sure it had a Magnacharged LS3.

And I would say it really depends on teh setup, but an 11 second car is definitely streetable in a newer car.

airbag it. then you select the ride height, and can lower it when you want to. Air Ride has already proved many times over how airbag equipped cars can handle anything you throw at them. even tight corner auto-crossing...
