I did not beat a corvette, but, I got a 2001 Dakota 4x4 with a 4.7L with HO cams, Gibson shortys, 70mm FB TB, FIPK, and flow master and a 2500 Dodge Ram was ridin my ass, and i down shifted to 3rd, and got away from him really quick, but he must have lower gears because he was catching up to me going up a hill, then i slammed on my brakes and let him pass, because over the hill a cop always sits in a covered area, I wasn't going to risk it. I let that punk go, and if the ground went flat again , I would have passed him at 120Mph. oh yeah.

The only way that RX-7 is going to hit 10's reliably is with a V8 engine or a turbo 6.

to be exact the horsepower of a ZR1 from 1990-1992 was 375. Then in 1993-1995 the ZR1 was rated at 405 hp due to some changes they made with the engine. The changes made in 1993 include the following:

Revised back angles of the valves.
Multi-angled inlet and exhaust seats
Head work to increase flow
Revised exhaust cam timing
Revised injector housings and injectors
Altered plenum for increased flow
Smog Changes
Reduced rotating mass of all major components
4 bolt cylinder case
Valve retainers
Revised PROM
Oil system improvements.
Platinum Spark Plugs.
Synthetic Oil.

So where do you get that the ZR1 has 70 hp more than a 2004 Z06 which is rated at 405hp and 400tq

Chris, your rite both the ZR1 and the Z06 are factory rated @ 405HP>
You ask where the extra 70HP comes from in the ZR1? The anwser is... it was always there. The extra HP comes alive with a Borla exhaust system. 475HP BY bypassing the TB coolent
K and N open air filter, computer reprogrammimg,TB air foil and 180 stat 490HP.
Further....The Z06 is single cam push rod motor with 8 injectors. The Zr1 on the other hand has 4 cams (in head) no push rods, 16 fuel injectors the second 8 injectors are turned on via a key switch inside the car.
Going further with this pi--ing contest of knolage. Why do you think ford motor co. stoped the production of the king cobra? ILL give you a hint, The same reason chevy stoped the ZR1 production and how bout the 426 Hemi and 427 vette?
SLOW GUY states that the Z06 is the fastest or that is quickest production Vette. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Try 10.88 1969 427 vette. showroom stock. The 426 Hemi cuda Ran 10.81. The King cobra 11.25.
ILL be awaiting you responce CHRIS.

Here are some RX7s that will beat that F350 "reliably". And a few civics and a volkswagon or 2. Where have you been the last 15 years?

I'm sorry but do a search on the net, there are countless RX7s that will beat 11.5 in the 1/4 reliably using the rotary engine.

HEY GGalarmtec

Performance numbers vary from ZR to ZR because not every engine built on an assembly line will all have the same horsepower. The LT5 in the ZR-1 will vary from 355 to 414 for example in the 1990 - 1992 375hp cars. Then in 1993 - 1995 the hp went up to a rating of 405hp. Then of course once on the track things like weather conditions, track conditions and driver can affect results. But on average a ZR-1 will do 1/4 mile times around 12.9 at 110mph and 0-60 in 4.9 to 5.2 seconds. I have seen stock ZR-1's do the 1/4 in 12.5 and some in 13.7. Go to ZR1.net and see for yourself. These numbers are for stock ZR1's only, when you start adding mods its a different arguement.
There are many stock ZO6's doing 12.0 and 12.1 in the 1/4 mile. If you do not believe me then go to LS1.com and they will gladly post their time slips for you.

Hey GGalarmtec.

Just wondering where you got that a stock 69 vette will run 10's stock. Seems unbelievable to me, my best friends dad just got done completely restoring his 66 sting ray convertable, he put a 454 in place of the stock motor. THe thing burns the tires all the way down the track and he runs 12 something. He cant fit any fatter tires on there without cutting the wheel wells, which he doesnt want to do.

Going back to the original post, yes you can make your R/T faster in the 1/4 mile than a stock vette, whether it be a Z06 or a Zr1. Both of these run 12s. THere are many 408 R/T's in the 11s. And there are also 360c.i. R/Ts with lots of mods that can do low 12's. Go to krcperformance.com, they sell the 408c.i. stroker kit for the R/T, it is the best way to go for big power.
