Default New best @ Richmond, SI, full weight, 11.968

1.6543 =60'
4.8532 =330'
7.5845 @ 89.14 =1/8
11.9680 @ 112.61 =1/4

No race weight available, I haven't put the car on a scale yet. It's heavy: full interior minus spare and jack, power everything and T-tops, I weigh 290 lbs, and 17x9 chrome ZR1 replicas at all four corners. Yank PT4000, Kooks LT and ORY, and Magnaflow c/b. No tuning yet other than shift points. 275/40R17 Nitto 555R IIs at 25 psi.

Thanks man. Prep was good, but it was 40-50 degrees F outside and the track got even slicker after the sun went down. I couldn't leave as hard as I wanted to. I'm going to order some M/Ts after the Nittos burn down, I had some on my old car and loved them. I bought the Nittos for $120 for the pair though and they were almost brand new so I couldn't turn them down.

Also going to work on the suspension, it's all stock except for UMI LCAs right now. Even the sway bar was in place. Plans are for all UMI stuff: LCA relo brackets, full length torque arm with relo bracket, SFCs, and PHB. The back will get the hose mod, stock springs, and comp eng. shocks, and the front will most likely get Strange single adj with 275# springs and the sway bar will be removed for the track.

Thanks! Was your car the clean black SS? Mine was the dirty black Z28 with the SS spoiler. I was going to say hi but I never saw anyone standing around the car.

Thanks Jamie, you know I want to start pulling weight out of it now and buy some skinnies again right? Hell with TT2's! Cut out my junk food eating habits, do some tuning, tires, suspension, and gears and I can see some easy mid 11's SI in my future.

yeah that was me and same here....was gonna say hey but never saw anybody around the car. Saw you make a couple of 12.0 passes, but left right after it got dark. Again congrats on the number. I'll keep an eye out for you this season if you plan on coming out anymore this year. I'll know the liscense plate...cool by the way.

Cool man, I was shocked when I saw 11.2's pop up for your runs... your car is quiet! LOL I assume it's an SLP dual/dual muffler to go with the CME? Your car is a major sleeper.

yeah dual/dual muffler...kinda like being a sleeper. that 11.29 was a new best for me. It would have been nice to get into the low to mid 1.5's 60ft like it normally does. Not sure what the time difference would have been if it would have hooked.

da calculator says at the time of my best pass(6:50pm) the da was -1084

Those TT2s sure would look nice, but some 15" Billet Specialties Street Lites would look nice and weigh a lot less.

I forgot to mention up top, this is my daily driver. My wife literally drove it to get groceries this morning. On the way to get a haircut today, I busted a guy's *** in an SN95 Mustang with a built 351W. On the way back, I went for a ride and wound up in a pack of cars returning from a local car show that I didn't know about. I barely outran an ATI Procharged Mach 1 Mustang. Poor bastards would probably shoot themselves if they knew I was driving a car with just exhaust and a TC.

Both were roll races from the worst possible mph too (35-40), good thing the TC = no real dead spot. The one guy said "let's go from a dig", I said "you really wouldn't want to do that"! LOL! He believed me, and jumped in the turn lane.
