... we FINALLY had a C6 - and even the Z06 - in Bitburg for the first time this last weekend ... Norbert Kuno drove it once and ran a 12.something (would need to get it out of the computer again) in it ... then the owner drove it like two or three times and only managed a low 13 ... sure he had some wheel spin, but I ran a 13.7 on my car, that thing should be well in the low 12s ... would have loved to try it out myself ;)

Yes and on the other hand we hand that amazing Porsche 9ff which ran IIRC a 10.3 @ 230 km/h :shock: (without drag slicks, won't fit on those rims).

That 9ff was at the Hockenheim drags but I never saw him run. Odd spoiler.

in eisenach it was the same. A Corvette Z06 Driver was not coming under 13... sec. on the quarter. Can´´t believe, that you can drive like that with this engine. You must make terrible mistakes not to drive under 13.

Well, Eisenach has some traction problems ... I could barely get a 14 there ...
