any zr-1's run Sat? What did they do? I know Paul Workman is scheduled to run his f.b.i. today I believe and others too probably. Very interested to see how the 1990's tuned Z's run.

Re: Wanna Go Fast Day 1
 

the gtr is 1700 hp and 1/4 mile time is 8.62, trap speeds well up around 171 or so...see the details in the link. top speed 238 mph gear limited it says. http://amsperformance.com/builds/ams...lpha-omega-gtr

I am hearing rumors a certain 350 was outrunning some new ZR1s.....

Re: Wanna Go Fast Day 1
 

Pete ran 154 TWICE. Very consistent.

Re: Wanna Go Fast Day 1
 

Paul workman ran what with his fbi 500 hp?

Re: Wanna Go Fast Day 1
 

I ran a 143 first run. This was for a roll and w ASR ON. However, the 200ft roll was subtracted from the overall length of the course. The roll was at about 40mph. Second run was from a dig up against a Porsche Turbo. He wanted to start from a dig which surprised me given wanting turbos to spool up. I ended that run w a 139. I lifted about 200ft from the finish. It was real fun and I need a few more runs under my belt to get used to going beyond the 1/4 mile.
The Porsche on the other hand "broke" coming out of the hole. I later found out his gearshift linkage had popped out. He later ran a 140.
A number of people came over saying things like, " I've never seen an LT-5 in person." Or " I don't think I have ever seen more than 2 ZR-1s, how come all you guys are here." Sounded like some people thought the C4 ZR-1 is a mythical beast. :-D

I'd say anything over 140 is moving right along. Some of the 415's and highly tuned might, like I heard on another forum that one of our cars ran two 154's, etc. do faster but I didn't realize until yesterday looking at past 1/2 wannagofast videos that it was a rolling start. That should help our cars I'd think and to hit 143 or 150 or 154 or more in 1896 net feet from the 40 mph cones is hustling right along. Man, that's six football fields to be going 2/3's of a football field every second. There's always someone faster. One GTr there has 1700 hp and he ran 208....but for our cars at their ages without turbos or superchargers to run 140 and up, I think is pretty good. I'd also wonder if a mid ratio rear end in a rolling for speed not for time would not be better to get higher total speed than a 4:10 rear end.

When all the numbers are published it will be interesting. Some of those Porsches and 6.0 liter Lamborghini's, et al, are really fast but when you are tuned to 700 hp or more you ought to be.

Way to go. I'd be darned happy with my car to get anywhere over 130 with the more or less stock nature of it. Cool that you did it.

Congrats. And....the good news....you got to drive it home and nothing broke!
