I watched that and was thinking how would a stock ZR-1 do in the same test? I had to admit that I just thought to myself that that Porsche should do about 150 in the mile, I was kind of surprised when it didn't. I guess I don't know enough to know better.

You could very briefly catch a C4 in the show. Was it a Z? I missed the original air date and watched it "streaming", so rewind/pause and such is rough.

there was an article in the registry mag from a few years ago that talked about a member, i think his name was joe, doing a mile run, but i can't seem to find it now.

I was thinking about a ZR-1 gathering in Vegas about 5 years ago. There was a mile run on the Nellis AFB main runway. The fastest was an 89 L98 (I think) Blown with NOS was in the mid 180s. Someone with first hand knowledge will pop in sooner or later and bring us up to speed.
