I just did a quick search and found two guys on the Corvette Forum. Both LPE vettes one (DJ Self) has run a 10.4 but that was on BFGs and the other (SlowC5) ran an 11.2 on Michelins. I am sure saw info about someone running a high 10 on Pilot Sports. I'll keep looking but until then the best I can provide is an 11.2. :laugh:

I know JP at 21st ran an 11.2 in his "special" TT Vette and that was the fastest time he had ever heard of as well, on MPS's.

Sorry to keep talking Vettes guys but if it shows that a Vette has yet to hit the 10's on MPS's, then it should be worth enduring.

That was not the vette that beat me. I would not have even attempted to race that thing! I do want some of those "street-legal cheater slicks" they mentioned in the article. WHERE and HOW MUCH? and big enough to clear the calipers on the SRT....

The "street-legal cheater slicks" are 16" ET Streets. I believe they are now producing a 17" tire but not sure if that would clear the rear SRT caliper. They probably would not.

17" won't clear. Maybe 18's? That plus the 6 bolt pattern....ugh. At least I'm getting better on the run flats. Posted a 7.9 sec @ 93mph last night in the 1/8 mile. 1.9 60 foot. Still broke loose in second pretty bad. I destroyed a Supra. It was NOT a turbo.
