A ten-second quarter mile time in stock trim has been reserved for limited production supercars only. However, a man proved that with the right combination of weather and skill a completely stock C6 Corvette Z06 can break 11.0. During a private test and tune event at Maryland International Raceway (MIR) Jamie Furman and his C6 Z06 running on the stock Goodyear F1 EMT run flat tires hit 10.98 at 129 mph in the 1320. The run was validated by a track official to achieve the record for quickest mass production vehicle. While the run was aided by near sea level track elevation and 40-degree air temperature, it still took refined gear banging skills to secure the record. Mr. Furman did not leave well enough alone with one record though. After hitting the 10s on the stock tires he threw on a set of drag radials to see what would happen. He hit 10.83 at 130 mph, breaking the previous drag radial standard of 10.85.

The loophole regarding safety equipment concerns me.

That is a damn impressive time. A 1.77 60' on street tires in 40 degrees equally so, though being a rental day don't think they didn't dump half a drum of VHT on the starting line for him.

Damn that is impressive. Just makes me want one even more! Not that I am that good of a driver but I love how they look and they are DAMN FAST!

Just yet more proof that a Z06 is one if not the best bang for your buck supercars.

It also shows that the guy driving this vette had enormous skill at the track.

Well if these cars are producing such nice track number with good drivers, the I wonder what the Sting Ray version will put out when it comes out.

 

[Doric]

Not Stingray; ZR1.

That is the understatement of the year. :lol:

You mean the SS?
