If you've been around the Corvette world at all (especially the Z06 world), you have probably heard of the guy who goes by the forum name of 'Ranger'. This guy is a legend when it comes to massaging absolutely astonishing times out of nearly stock cars.
From what I have gathered, his first 'claim to fame' was with the C5 Z06. How about a 1/4 mile time of 11.5@117 mph on a BONE STOCK 2002 Z06. Bone stock means bone stock in this case...stock air filter and stock tires, even!
Then, he put a cold air intake and drag radials on the car... (drumroll please)... 11.5 @ 120 mph!
And when the C6 Z06 came out, he did what any self-respecting Vette guy would do... and bought one of those too! His records are no less mind-blowing than the records with the C5 Z06, either...
BONE STOCK C6 Z06 - 11.1 @ 127 mph (stock filter, stock tires!!!)
C6 Z06 with drag radials ONLY - 10.8 @ 129 mph
(AND NOW COMES THE REASON FOR THIS POST)
He has just beat his own record and set a NEW WORLD RECORD for a C6 Z06, bone stock, with drag radials:
