Message	Here at Atco they're always running high 11's, low 12's with trap speeds of 116-118 mph, and sometimes more. I have a stage 3 Z and I've never trapped anywhere near 118 mph. They're pretty light cars, and have a killer torque curve. I think they're making 300 lbs of torque by 1000 rpm. From reading Z06 forums (like this one [ http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=434099 ] ) it sounds like they're dynoing about 350-360 rwhp stock, in a car that weighs in at 3115 lbs, hundreds of pounds less than our Z.
