1/2 mile. 153.3
1 mile 174

Just for comparison's sake, Pete did the 1/2 mile 2 years ago @ 154
and Al did it last year at 160+. Both NA cars v a S/C one.

"Just for reference my N/A C4 did the mile at 182.xxx mph....sorry Trav.....couldn't resist."

Things that make you say, "Hmmmm..."

I ran 176 in the mile several years ago in my l
415 with a terrible launch & a short mile (Nellis AFB, Las Vegas)

My normally aspirated 415 dyno'd at 540 RWHP on the Std scale. Est Crank Hp, adjusted to SAE was probably in neighborhood of 630.
I would expect an A8 ZO6 with more power & better Aero to have been in the 185-190 range. I wonder if it had the most aggressive track aero pkg? Could have slowed it down some.

Jerry,

According to the post, its a Stage 1

[efnfast]

I was thinking Audi A8.

Everybody brings up the aero pkg and this or that, but then why does a 550-600hp GTR which weighs a lot more beat the new vette? I think except for ideal temp conditions that these cars are not making 650hp.
