Default Corvette C5 in the 9's again--stock bottom end 346 n/a

I thought it was noteworthy that one of my customers car went 9.98@137.8 backing up his previous et's and mph. Car was driven to the track and back on drag radials and ran flawless all day. Planning on going faster in the near future.

I don't come on here and post often, but thought it was another great accomplishment.

We've been this road before on two threads concerning the guy I'm "guessing" this regards. Don't tempt fate by showboating, bashing or the like. Keep the thread clean.

Nice going on this, Troy. We scientists like to see replication of results...it's called N=2 and it makes the first result all that more believable.

Not exactly, not sure what that car has done as I didn't work on that car. Impressive pass though as well.

I was just sent a link from someone at the rental that caught the pass on video.

These results were backed up all day by Rob running 10.0's @ 137+ and then as the air got better at the end of the rental, Tommy took some passes and ran (2) 10.0's and then the last pass for the 9.98 as well.

Same car two different drivers and two totally different techniques producing the same results. Can't argue with that.

Well, there still will be the few "haters" saying that it's not possible and that you're hiding a bottle some where. The only bottle that might be in Rob's car could be the one filled with baby formula from his newly born daughter.

Anyway, you've more than replicated the results and those who know you guys well will attest to the validity...so congrats again.

Congrats on running a 9 sec pass with a Gen III or IV engine powering it running on a fuel or power source of some kind.
