Default First Time to the Track with my Near Stock SS

I ran 6 passes. My best was 13.5 @ 107 with a 2.13 60ft. I ran pretty consistent between 13.5-13.7 @ 105-107. It was pretty warm and humid out I believe it was over 80 degrees. I think I did OK considering it was my first time out with the Camaro and it was pretty warm.

Good job for your 1st time. Congrats. Now get back out to the track and race that thing.

Thanks, if I had a few more passes I may have been able to get it into the lower 13s. Every pass I improved.

Nice job, how are you launching? I found a big difference (but no change in 60fts) by lauching from 2200rpm instead of near idle and slipping the clutch out.

Congrats on your first time! You ran the exact same as I did my first time out with my stripper SS. I ran 13.5/106 though. I'm sure I could've gotten it down some more, but I don't go to the track and practice that much. Plus, my car does not like being hot lapped.

Looks like a pretty descent first track trip. Get that 60' down some and you'll damn near be in the 12's
