Nice runs. You just edged him out on the bottle lol

how are you trapping 126 with 420 wheel? Did you do some weight reduction?

Seems very odd that a 580 rwhp car can't beat a 420 rwhp car...even with the weight difference

Thats was nasty with spray. Like to see you run the 5.0 again with the spray.

Atco then?

I mean...stock C6Z's trap low 120's and they make 440ish with a better curve. Whatever you're doing is working that's for sure...if its really a cam only stock weight car its one of the fastest I've heard of.

That doesn't seem right considering my 460whp cobra trapped 122-123, I'd be pissed if I whippled my car and didnt consistently trap over 130. Your car deff moves out for what it is for damn sure tho.

I wasnt saying your car had weight reduction... I was just saying i love it and this is why i spend thousands to get my car lighter lol. Other people just like to add HP. Im all about the weight. Hell my GTO was 3300lbs lol
