Well I took the ZR2 to the local 1/8 mile track tonight. The conditions weren't ideal being that it was 90° and humid but she did pretty good. The only mod is the GMPP Borla S-type exhaust. My best time was a 9.62 and I was able to hold my own with this vette!

I was able to do a 9.87 in similar conditions 2 years ago, like 85 degrees and 90% humidity. It just wanted to spin off the line so I had to leave in 4AUTO. My trucks a 5.3 though.

You had quicker response off the line.  Vette caught flat footed.  Congrats on the time.

 

 

Actually the vette had a better reaction time. .6689 and I had a .9784. These trucks are terrible to launch. If you brake tq them they bog, and when you just release the brake and stop the gas there is a delay. I always leave when the last yellow lights up but you almost have to leave before it.20220616_073649.thumb.jpg.32918f5d4f20585de6f5c6fdba2ac4bf.jpg

Were you in sport mode and AUTO?  My best times and launches have always come

from those to combos.  Nice run and truck sounds good.

Thanks! Unfortunately the ZR2 does not have sport mode. I was in 4auto with traction and advanced trac off.

The Vette had a near 2.9 second 60' which is HORRIBLE, with a good driver you'll see 1.9 60's from the Vette, which will knock a minimum of 1.0-1.3 seconds off the big end.  Don't let that detract from your trucks performance though, the truck had a great run and it sounds really good! 

 

PS, AUTO 4WD and traction control turned off are your biggest helps when drag racing the truck.  It should dang near hole-shot everything out there.  Peoples reactions when you put 2 cars on them in the first 100' is awesome, its just the remaining 1220 feet of track they drag your ass down that isn't quite as fun :).

Especially below, at, and reasonably around sea level.  That’s why I wish TFLTruck would go to sea level and do drag races some times. The ecobust has such an advantage in higher elevations.  Reading the comments the Ford fanboys always gloat.  I just chuckle.

Ha, I think the same thing! We are right around 600'-700' above sea level.

I’ve never had an issue racing an ecobust or 5.0L. Neighbor at my old house had 5.0 and bragged how fast it was.  It was decent but not a 6.2L.  They just “pull” so well all the way till they hit the limiter. I’m at 1100 here in Iowa.
Now a Raptor is another story. But they are geared differently and that helps them.  A Ram Hemi is no contest. Buddy has had 2. After first one he refuses to race again. And new one is ETorque. Doesn’t help anyways.

 

If GM had retuned the refresh to 450+ HP I would have jumped on the high trade in value and got one. Just didn’t do enough for ME personally.  I don’t mind interior of my truck. It suffices!

My '21 6.2 Trail Boss would eat 5.0's for lunch on the street light to light. It also felt faster than this ZR2, but I only have 1200 miles on it so it will probably losen up some.

I would have been happy to keep the TB, but the dealer offered me almost 7,000 more than I paid for the truck on trade. I would have been foolish to keep it.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
