Wow. I didn't think these were available yet.

He claims to have the first manual ZR1.

One dude's twitter handle is Frans96SS. Wonder if he's a B-body guy.

Finally races his own 570S.

No spoilers. Ok. They are about even. ZR1 would be faster with an auto.

Racing a C6 ZR1. Which is clearly not stock. Ah, heads/cam. Damn, 145 trap. I wish it was stock. As with the Z06, the C7 isn't really faster than the C6.

I want a C6 ZR1 and a CT6 V-sport. That would be just about my dream duo of cars.

10.9 @ 134 mph on the stock tires (which, while sticky, are hardly optimized for drag racing). With a manual trans. Both of those things are not conducive to 10s, and many people didn't think it was possible.

An auto on drag radials may just have a 9.9 in it.

Nice thing about the ZR1 is, it is not a drag strip only vehicle like a Demon (really, not at all) nor is it a track only vehicle like the Camaro ZL1 1LE. I guess that's what you get for $140k.

Track >> drag racing.

Also, western NC mountain roads >> drag racing.
