This is yet another issue...Gone are the good old days where you knew people’s records were likely legit.
Ranger ran a time - he’s a certified gear banger (befor the auto I these cars) - and most importantly - the numebrs lined up.
What I mean by that is the 60’, ET and MPH matched up.
Then you come to drivers like Farmer - who show they are going 10.2’s with a C7Z - on DR’s and skinnies - but with a crazy MPH - 137 - where even full bolt on and tune cars struggle - especially with a serious 60’ where you lose MPH. And of course they claim it’s stock.
But - over time - having owned one myself and many buddies as well - manual and auto - with heating those poor Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tire’s - and miracle DA - you see the C7Z with full horrible aero loses about 2-3 MPH and can only crank out a low 11 - maybe 10.9 to 11.0 pass in real life at 126-128 MPH. As is. Stock.
But...if you were to take the F90 M5/M5 CP in the same weather and conditions - the C7Z will lose - as it will likely run 10.7-10.8 or better at 128-130 MPH. Maybe better.
We shall find out.
