Not at 6K feet. There is a video in a another thread in this section proving what I just said. There is a stock ZR1 running at about 5800 ft and it traps 111 MPH IIRC.

And how sure are you of it being a clean, good run? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I've seen Z06 owners trap around 110 before near sea level while others were upper 120's.

He spins a little off the line but all his ***** are clean and very quick. I am not looking at ET as much as trap speed so a little wheelspin is not going to effect trap speed much at all.

Wow, the Challenger trapped 91 If the new STI is only trapping 93 idk if a Cobalt SS is going to trap 100+ like someone claimed.

PrincessTurbo's car (boltons and my tune) trapped 102 at 500 ft higher than that track.

Is that all zr1's? Does this mean they all will trap this? You guys were JUST preaching about how I was wrong for saying cobras can get 115+ and now u bring this up. Hmmm....

I dont know do you know of any other videos of them or any car running at 6K feet? There are not many tracks up that high. It is likely that some would trap as fast as 114-115 or as slow as 109-110 at that altitude. Depends on driver and car.

Why?
because that's the closest track to me that means my car is uber slow like 80mph traps

OK, well I've been to Bandimere every weekend for the past 3 months. I have seen a stock z06 trap 113 at Bandi and that's an n/a car. Stock ls1's are trapping in the ~100 range. A zr1 will trap hella-higher than 110.

^this is where it lies the most. The car is the biggest determining factor because all cars run differently and some run stronger than others. Perfect example, my 06 LSJ was a factory freak ( so is my evo for some reason ) and with less mods smoked my buddies 05 LSJ from a 40 mph roll. Im talking 3+ cars. Both had 2.8" pulley, cai, stage 2. I had a gmpp catback and he had a full megan racing exhaust. It didnt make much sense other than the fact that for some reason my LSJ was always faster than his. My car ran stronger. It also had a **** ton more problems too, but w/e.

Same with the evo. All I have is a muffler delete and a custom cai. I raced my buddy with his 2.8, meth, fully bolted lsj. We were dead even. Makes no sense. The only thing I can think of is MAYBE the caris tuned. However I checked out the intake piping, IC piping, exhaust, and even the wiring in the cab to see if a cai, boost guage, catback, ANYTHING was possibly tampered with and may have been reverted back to stock. Nothing.

So to say that a terminator only traps 108-113 is wrong. Reason? Ive seen slips of them trapping 115+. There will always be a stronger running car.

Most LNFs do not trap 104-105 bone stock with the stock turbo but a few have but that is not the norm. Same situation. You average stock LNF balt traps 100-101 and your average stock terminator traps 108-110.
