Don't you have a Z06?

Yeah I have a Z06, but I had driven my dads car over to beat on while we let the SS cool off between runs... But we were so busy I never got to run it during the track rental. But at 5 they shut down and re-open at 6 for a street night so we decided to stay and run it a couple times... It's has the auto-on headlights... and we didn't bother to pull the fuse... So we left them up

Wish I had known that...
But my Z06 doesn't have that...

Best run of the night was pic #3... 12.4 at 120 on a 2.18 60'
I know with that trap it should be easily in the 11's... but here's the problem... It put down 500 at the wheels.. it's got a P1 blower, 224 cam and a ripper shifter, thats it... It is the hardest car to launch I've ever driven... there is a very fine line between massive bog and wheelspin... It doesn't have alot of power down low... but from 4k up it an animal.. so off the line if you don't leave hard enough it just falls completely on it's face before it starts to build boost and if you leave a little too hard the stock F1's melt.. You could concievably use the clutch and feather it around 3800-4000, but the problem is on the stock clutch I don't have the ***** to do that to my dads car... It's just his weekend beater that seen 6k miles since he bought it new 2 years ago... It's a fast car if you've got room to open it up and he can stomp my Z06 on the highway.. but I can embarass him at the track, it's kind of like driving a modded supra
