It was 96* out, I just finished battling on city streets, engine hot, made a 40-90mph run within 60 seconds of this boost only 4WD launch. What do you think, not bad for full street weight on a hot day?

I've never seen a stock vette run nearly that fast. I've raced a few on the track

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette_C5_Z06

"Factory performance figures for the 405 hp (302 kW) version of the Z06 give an acceleration time from 0-60 mph as 3.9 seconds. Owner-drivers have reportedly achieved quarter-mile times of 11.7[2][3] seconds. Car and Driver recorded 1/4 mile times of 12.4 seconds for the 405 hp (302 kW) Z06 and 12.7 seconds for the 385 hp (287 kW) Z06 In their December 2002 issue. Quarter mile drag times are a result of multiple factors including "Driver Skill" or "Driver Aggressiveness" (gear shift timing and optimum shift points) which account for variations in timings leading to controversy. The Z06 is capable of matching or besting the 0-60 acceleration times of some of the world's premier sports cars, including the BMW Z8, Ferrari 360, and Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 996)." - wiki

ok well I am faster or I was at least so maybe i'm making up for it after the 1/8th

btw that is a joke as i can't imagine ANY stock car on street tires leaving the line as fast as I do in 4wd. Just saying. I have seen them run high 11's with good drivers and I repeat good drivers.
