1/4 mile times for 90-95 Zs. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Z51JEFF · 06-02-2014

Anybody got a breakdown of the average 1/4 mile times for all years stock ZR-1s?Thanks.

10.49@135 for mine...so that might throw the curve off a little.

a whole lot

high 12's/low 13's stock seems to be about right

Jeff,
I feel like this isn't the chart I'm thinking of, but it has magazine review performance numbers compiled:

Those times are better described as "ideal", not average. The main reason is that the driver is Jim Ingles, a GM engineer reknown for his driving ability, and lack of mercy.
12.89 is pretty damn quick for a bone stock ZR-1, on Gatorbacks.

jingles can haul @$$

I'm at 11.40 @ 129

should be able to ET better but I'm at a 1.70+ 60 ft and struggling with traction

I want to get a set of fresh drag radials and try again now that I have the viper gear broken in

stock clutch with the fidanza has proven to be a challenge at the strip the stock dual mass is alot better for drag racing for getting out of the hole

As I recall my stock 93 HIL KING ran a 13.1 @ 107 mph when I first got it in 1994. With a novice driver-me. Most recently at Bowling Green WARP TEN ran 12.4 @ 116 with Marc H driving but not power shifting; I ran a 12.6 @ 114. Street tires in both cases. -- Bob

As I recall, Pete asked Jim (aka "Jingles") at the 2011(?) BG gathering about trying to break into the 10s with his 5.7L LT5. (Pete had run some 11.0x passes at that point.) Jim asked Pete if he lifted between gears or was power shifting? Pete said (in effect) that as long as it is his ZF transmission, he will lift between gears. Jim's response was to get the best times from the ZR-1, one must power shift (at around 6300 rpm for a stock motor).

I agree with Pete. My pockets aren't deep enough either to hammer my ZF that way. But, other's mileage may vary!
