My god... yesterday went to a Dutch meeting-rally... there was a acceleration test for which you had to subscribe ahead... so i didn't got the chance... damned.
But the weather was fine for the time of the year so we had a great day ! 
now.. the tests : from 0 to 100 km/h ( 62.5 mph ) what a bunch of amateurs ! 
Ok, the C6ZO6 
did it in 4.7 sec but... it was with a Porsche club and them Porsche Turbo won in 4.4 sec....

Seems to me that they were really babying thier cars. I like the idea though. I wonder if our club would get into something like this? Great idea. Would be good bragging rights for the next year.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.
I agree they were babying them...especially the C6 Z06. It should have made it in less than 4 secs.

Woooops !....Sorry buddy. First time I watched it, I didn't think much of it either. Didn't comment 'cause I didn't want to offend you, but it looks like fun. At least you don't have to stop before the end of the ship comes up.

If they ain't smokin, you must be jokin.
Translation- If you don't spin and smoke your tires, you aren't serious about seeing how fast you can accelerate your Vette.
Maybe we can try this in the hotel parking lot at Hot Springs in April and see what happens.
