That track needs to go back and read the new NHRA rules. You don't need a cage to run a stock vehicle on a drag strip under the new rules until you break the 11.50 mark.

This was over a year ago, so it may have changed in the meantime. Anyway, their track, their rules.....

That works out to 3k posts/month, or about 100/day. No fucking way. I'm on here a lot and there's no way in hell a person could actually do that.

One of three things is happening there.

A - One of the forum admins gave them additional post count
B - They're using a Bot to raise their post count
C - They've figured out a way to manipulate the code the forum runs on to increase it.

Oh and:

Digital.James · 06-23-2009, 01:36 PM

If I had the money to spend on a car in this range, I would definitely be getting a ZR1. It's a true classic and I bet will be a huge collectors car in the long term.

My heart still cries Ferrari 430 Scuderia, but my brain says ZR1!

marty_mcfly · 06-23-2009, 03:34 PM

how much are ZR1s going for right now? better yet, what's a fair price? i seem them around here for like $130k to $150k etc.

FStop7 · 06-23-2009, 03:44 PM

No VTEC? No $ale

To be honest this is bull shit. He did not run 10's on a bone stoakc z06. Bone stock means stock tires/wheels no weight reduction. That is fresh off the showrooom floor. I dont care how good of a driver you are your not running 10's in a truly stock Z06. I am not even sure he can do it in the viper vert.

..or typing one word responses like "wow" on every thread across the site. Even foreign sections. I think "wow" is universal.

There are a few low mile used ZR1's going for around 110-120 if you dig. Probably got a little scared of the car and are trying to get out maybe. True story to illustrate.

A buddy of mine is a serious Viper guy and can drive like a you know what. Tracks as much as he can etc.. He was in his new green one and a ZR1 comes up and wants to play. Had to have been quick and no cars around for him to toy around with the Vette. Anyway, the Vette guy gooses it and slides over near my friend. He backs off and this guy hits 3rd and fishes around a bit before hooking back up. Did it again hitting 4th. Greg was trailing behind just going "he is going to die in that car". Not a tuned out 335 for sure.

and you are getting this information from where?

I was there for all 3 of his runs in these cars. Stock tires and wheels were used in all of them.

there have been 2 truly stock Z06's that have run 10's......

just because your pissed me off by calling bullshit on someone I know here you go, Jamie is a dedicated 1/4 mile driver, he doesn't screw around at the track and beats on his cars harder than anyone I have ever seen.....hot lapping the crap out of them until he's happy w/ his technique, then he'll go ice down the intake and repeat.

pictures I took of his cars at MIR on seperate private track rentals.

He trailers all his cars to the track in case he breaks them......multiple cars and multiple trailers are his norm.

Viper vert, car had something like 300 miles on the odometer

His Z06 launching its ass off

Here he is swapping on DR's on the Z06, but he DID hit 10's w/ the stock runflats. I think he hit a low 10.8 on everything stock but the DR's.

and his sick sick sick Viper ACR

stock Pilot cups

and just for shits and giggles his GT and his GT2, both have hit 10's...not stock though

Sniz · 06-23-2009, 09:47 PM

oh and go search 6speedonline.com for his threads on his runs, they show timeslips signed by the timekeeper at MIR.
