Speculation based on Corvette times at Ringer tracks, like English Town back on the East Coast. Bone stock C5 ZO6s with 405BHP turn in 11s on crap tires (great drivers), Imma figurin' my 455~bhp on DRs has gotta be good for 11s at an equivalent track.
Also, Sean's Cobra, which is almost identically as fast, runs well into the 11s with the identical setup at those tracks.
CSW is a slow track for a few reasons: bad prep (on street legal days, therefore crap 60's), higher altitude, sometimes some sand on the track, it's often hot on track days, rumor has it runs ever so slightly up hill, and I think it might be built on an Indian burial ground . . . okay, I made that last one up.)
I'll tell you this for a fact, I'm 4 tenths faster and 5 mph faster(!) at the 1/8th mile at Irwindale.
I don't have all the conversions memorized, but to crack a high 10 with a typical C5/6 Vette you'd need 125 - 130 mph with a solid sub 2.0 60'.
