C5 World Record Is Mine - 1st Z06 In The 8s

That's right, boys and girls, my Z06 broke into 8s today in a big way. I'm very tired so I'll only give a brief run down of the runs I made tonight at Atco. I also have video that I'll post tomorrow.

9.17 @ 151
9.02 @ 152
9.16 @ 152
8.985 @ 152
8.968 @ 152
8.955 @ 154

And finally:
8.884 @ 154.49
The entire slips looks like this:
60' - 1.336
330' - 3.736
1/8 - 5.714 @ 124.24
990' - 7.380
1/4 - 8.884 @ 154.49


HUGE props to Neverlift and Cartek. I just ran 4 back to back 8s after running 3 back to back low 9s. Talk about consistency and reliability. Truly a winning combination.

Off to bed. I wonder if I'll wake up with this smile

Good Job.

Does it still have the IRS or is it a straight axle?

You have been knocking on the door for several weeks now and it looks like you finally broke it down. That 8.884 pass was over the top. You even picked up 2MPH. Did you do anything different on that run or did the air/track just get better. Nice job. You have made us slow guys proud. I am living vicariously through you.
