Whatever the stock WRX did, I guess I'd be about the same...around 15s I guess...

heehee i laugh everytime rc45 does this to a thread =) its so entertaining

i think the points everyone seems to miss here is simple
rc45 is simply stating in his fanatical corvette loving way, his z06 is good bang for the buck , its that simple

the other ppl seem to mistake this for him calling it a supercar , when it isnt. it has supercar performance (it does, i have driven one) but it lacks the interior, technology, and exclustivity to make it a full fledged "supercar"

as for the comparisons between it and a M5, thats just stupid. the M5 is a 4 door big car, in a total different class than the z06, i dont see anyone cross-shopping the two, so anything regarding the two is a null point.

rc45 is fanatical (very fanatical sometimes) about his vette cause he owns one, just as if he owned a 360 ferrari, he would be fanatical the same way, im the same way about what i drive, and whoever else like , everso, is about his TT. no big deal, not reason to ruffle feathers...the zo6 is a great car, the TT is a great car, the 360 is a great car, just different types of owners...

unfortunately i dont see why it took 3 or 4 pages to come to that conclusion lol....

anyway 1/4 mile times..

hrmmm the maita (turbo) ran 12.53 at PIR raceway
i had a friends massaged dodge dart swinger that ran 14.10 with a 360ci motor in ti..
and the last run i made in the miata was funny cause it was a sucky run (14.2) but i had a trap speed of 106mph lol...can we say traction probs

You guys are bound to never have heard of my ride its a VL Commodore at the momment its el stocko but when I get the final few hundred dollars together I need it will have a RB30det engine and shuld be good for 11-12 secs on 7-9psi. Once I finish the current head conversion and turbo the bottom end will get worked and I should be able to get 9-10
