Irwindale tonight! Anyone going? I'm going just to see what weight reduction and 275/40/17 Nitto 555R's will do at the track with my V6. On 275 street tires I wrangled a 1.944 60' one run.

Hope you do better than a 7.2 next time! Trending Topics

Best 60' of the night was 2.08. The guy in the 6spd LT1 said he had intake, exhaust, and an LT1/LT4 hotcam... But it was his first time at the track and he didn't hook for ****. The guy in the Cobra said he's been to the track before but the first time in that car and also didn't hook for **** and I won that one too... My car hooks like a pirate! Arrrrrr!

I have a K&N filter, whisper lid, delco rapidfire plugs (not really a mod...), aluminum driveshaft, stock LS1 muffler (only) from an 01ish WS6, 275/40/17 Nitto 555R's in the rear on Firehawk wheels all the way around. I also have canyon-type suspension done like 32/19 oem swaybars that have poly bushings/endlinks, kyb adjustable front shocks, bilstein hd rear, "autocross" alignment and a non-adjustable panhard bar... Car came from the factory with 3.42's, TA equivalent steering rack (ratio is the same) and dual outlet exhaust - but V6 sized. The stock TA/WS6 muffler is the same chamber design as my "special" V6 muffler but larger ports and possibly more air space. It's a little bit louder than stock but most importantly it sounds a lot better inside the car. It still has that factory sound quality (or lack thereof).

It feels like a Syclone with less horsepower!

Some guy in a late 90s Mustang GT (that bright blue one) was running 10s... I thought that was great...
