Took the Z to the track.. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RichS · 12-03-2017

Took the Z to Island today for test and tune. Was expecting better weather but it never got above 44 and no sun, gloomy all day. The track stayed cold and was not sticking. Some big tire cars were going no where. Pretty much was skating in 1st and 2nd. Best I could manage was a 12.00@120 with a 1.91 60'. My best mph was 123, the car really pulls nice once it got some traction. Better traction, and more seat time It should be mid/high 11's easy. I put my GS drag wheels on and really love the all black look!

That's not a bad time all things considered. Temperatures like that definitely make traction difficult.

Awesome! Were you on drag radials? Really good 60' time and trap speeds! Any other changes since we tuned it?

Drag radials off the GS and pulled the swaybar, no other changes since the dyno time. Need more practice and a warmer track to get the 60' down. It's been awhile since I ran a stick at the track.

120 MPH tells me a minimum of 425-450 RWHP

It's worth noting that 123 mph puts you squarely in the middle of the pack of current supercars based on Road & Track's most recent performance car of the year shootout! Way to go Rich!
