There are more than a few that have done it. We have one that is shooting for 8.XX this year. A few weeks ago it went 9.2x at Real Street Drags at Union Grove Wisconsin. I know this Friday they had another event up there. I'll have to see how it did and report back. It is a full weight and full suspension C5. Here is an old photo of the car from two years ago running in the 9's.



Here is another that ran 9.6x full weight and suspension.


And yet another that ran 9.7x full weight and suspension.

Really looking forward to his results. What is his set up & how much rwhp is he putting down?

Iam planning to do 9s next season, and depending on how much my FLT trans can hold up I might shoot for 8s

sweet anymore im just curious. Any vids of these cars out there? The guy above man there are some great tranny builders on here. Im sure FRANK OR VINCE could help you out. Every time I drive my car Im just glad im not worried about the tranny taking a dump on me. I went through that about 2 years ago with a local tranny shop. In that summer my car only ran a 11.6 n/a no juice and the tranny blew up 3 times in 3 months
I pulled it out every dang time and took it up to them and they charged me parts everytime finally I got fed up sold the tranny and called performabuilt and I think my exact words were this tranny better work. lol and Frank assured me it would and it has. My buddy had a FLT tranny that he bought from Vince and ran there tranny for over a year with alot of 10.7 passes on it he sold the car and last I heard its still going strong. These guys reputations are at risk there not going to give you a crap tranny.

For some reason it seems the 4l60e's hold up better in the vettes maybe its because there alittle lighter but either way 9's or low 10's is fast with a 4l60e I got sick of dealing with them and just threw a 4l80e in hopefully it holds up so far so good.

That is a twin turbo car making I'm pretty sure well over 800rwhp. I have to get in touch with him to get the exact numbers. Really busy at the shop currently so today it was really not a top priority. I will post back up when I get the info or even maybe have the man himself post up.

That is a level 5 and his name is Ed. I know you might see him on the street more so than the track. Last I talked to him was about a year ago when we freshened it up. Really nice guy! Vince

yes we ran 9's Best was a 9.49 at 3700lbs most of its life.
Does 18,000 miles in 2 years make it DD car lol


I also built Dave Moss's (Caveman) 4l60E in both his street cars, His Red 98 TA has over 80 passes in the 9's right now with out a single issue with a best of a 9.72 i believe

We have ran 9s and lost count on how many low low 10.0s. It is absolutely possible. The right converter and properly built 4L60E is key to low ETs and strength.

This site has the right people to make sure you achieve your goal.

Circle D Specialties and Transmissions got us there. We maintained a/c, heater, radio and both front seats when we first broke the 9 second barrier.

Good luck!!

10.97 @ 124 is my best with a spinning 1.57 60'. I think it should 60' in the low 1.4x range. We'll see if I can get traction next week.
