i caught that too ..lol

i was thinking maybe they launched in 2nd gear..

Good call, that very well could be. I wonder if that white smoke in the beginning was from the clutch now that you brought that up... impressive either way.

Looks good Tim, you guys work fast! He was still sanding on it at your dyno day!

That sucks Matt! It seems you just keep getting dumped on! I've been laid off for 2 months now but at least the only drama I have to deal with is the trouble my gf's 18 year old son keeps getting into then mfing her because he blames her for everythnig. If I ever did that to my mom I'd have my ass handed to me! He needs to appreciate everythnig she's done for him, she was a single mom with a dead beat ex. I'm sorry to hear things keep getting worse for you, just try to keep your head up. By the way, did you get your car straightened out?

Yeah thats bullshit, don't disrespect elders..But yeah I got everything straightened out with the car, it's all painted and fixed up..She ran good all the way down here, except I got some massive tire wear-age on the driver side ft..idk wtf's up with that, had 3 alignments, everythings good underneath. But thanks dude, i got pretty much everything fixed up except the whole PFA/EX situation of course..thats why I'm down here until my next court hearing, I dont need anymore bullshit going on lol..

check out this vw truck we just painted for my buddy..

haha thats a sick little buggy!!

DId I hear it wrong or was that run accomplished only using 3 gears? It looked like the shift from 2nd to 3rd occured after the 1/8th mile!

i caught that too ..lol

i was thinking maybe they launched in 2nd gear..

No, he went through 4 gears..

Launch at ~29 seconds
1-2 at 32 seconds
2-3 at 34 seconds
3-4 at 38 seconds.


using http://www.kabamus.com/garage/gears.html and the ZR1 gear ratios here is what its doing in each gear at its 6500 rpm (although redline is 6600 stock, unsure of the tune's redline) with stock tires (not sure of the tires on in the video).

1st - 65.66 mph
2nd - 93.40 mph
3rd - 124.27 mph
4th - 150.37 mph
5th - 185.64 mph
6th - 224.44 mph

Crazy to think it took a little under 3 seconds to do 66 mph, 2 more seconds to do 94 mph, 4 more (probably more like 3 with the doppler effect) to get to 125 mph, and for a total of 10 effing seconds to get past 140 mph.

I can't believe a car came from the factory that can do that, and is very near stock

Nancy Pelosi eat your icy heart out!!

True.. Enjoy your vaca, hopefully it'll be stress free for you! You defenately need a break from all the bs she's been causing you. Are you going to be back before next weekend? Our car show is comming up on the 28th, our one in may got rained out, so we're trying it again.

Yeah it should be enjoyable, hopefully..boat, lake, beer..sounds great to me ..I don't think I'll be back before next weekend but who knows, maybe that sat night?..Not sure yet, but I did find a place for rent right down the road here, hopefully I'll get a call back from a couple jobs I tried applying for..so, we'll see what happens..a new beginning sounds great to me, but I'm not so sure how'd it all turn out..

Your luck is bound to change! So hopefully things will get better soon for you. If you do come back in time come on out. As I mentioned earlier I've been off almost 2 months now, but I'm taking most of the summer off, a little extended vaca! My unemployment isn't to much less than if I was working. So I'm enjoying doing my own thing for a change.

Yeah I will definitnly look into it..I was thinking about taking my summer off, but damn it I've been here two days, and I feel like I need to be doing something! I hate not working..maybe I'll have to get some extra funds and start on the car ...Hell I dont know, doing my own thing for a little bit would be kind of nice!..
