    Went out to the Texas mile run today in Goliad Texas. They rented out an airstrip at a small airport today and tomorrow for 1 mile runs. I'll start by saying it was a blast, an absolute blast If you haven't done it, you have to try it. It's wicked lining up knowing your about to do 175-180mph without getting a ticket.

    There were all kinds of cars and bikes out there today. I was probably one of just a few midly modified vehicles. The rest were very modified. There was also some really wicked modified motorcylces.
    I ran very well by all accounts. I took my GT2 timer so I could time it as well to get some 0-180mph. Recent reviews in a German magazine had this time at 41 seconds for the Z06 and I knew it was wrong. I did 3 passes that were 175, 175.6 and 178.3. These passes were all about 27 seconds long. My 0-180 time was 27.9 seconds. Alot faster than the german rag had which leads me to believe they were sandbagging or outright lying.

    To be fair my car does have 22 more dyno confirmed hp than stock. All passes were done on stock tires with 93 octane gas. No race gas.
    This was on a landing strip so traction was terrible. The 0-180 could probably have been 1 second faster.

    I ran tied with an R1 motorcyle. He said he was running as fast as he could. There were some Hyabusas running near 200. The fastest Busa ran 230mph.

    The lone Ford GT ran back to back 169s. I believe other Zs were running mid 175s as well. Some guy took vids of me in hi def. I'll get the links fom him and post them asap.

    You guys need to try this. It was so much fun I nearly pissed myself at 180.

    What year/model Z06 do you have?? A few weeks ago I was doing some 40 mph rolling 1/2 mile runs with some bikes & cars, but I only got up to 150. It was part of a DVD production. It was fun, until it was stopped by some officials.
