One thing you guys need to keep in mind is this was at a VERY fast track under dream conditions. This run was performed on MIR (Maryland international Raceway) which I'm personally very familiar with as its only 30 mins from my house. Many records are routine broken at this track during the professional events held there.
It's a sea level track (literally), that's surround by water (potomac river) that had high barometeric pressure (well over 30.00) at a low 45 degree ambient air temprature...which netted a
-1200DA !!! This is also a well prepped NHRA sanctioned track. So, sea level with perfect barometeric pressure, perfect temprature, great traction on a well prepped track and a great driver...netted the time. Great achievment on Jamie's part, hardly representative as far "stock C6 Z06" numbers are concerned*
