Default Where's my club jacket?

I can technically talk **** now!!!!

Finally slipped my way into the tip top of the 12 second club today. The weather was awesome and the track was hooking pretty damn good. Everyone that I went with murdered their previous personal bests.

Pacesetters, ORY, 18" Sweet Thunder and a lid on stock 16" wheels with 245s. I'm also still working with 2.73s.


60....... 1.985
330...... 5.544
1/8...... 8.437
MPH..... 85.92
1000.... 10.889
1/4...... 12.984
MPH..... 106.80


It ran real consistently throughout the day. My youngest brother, who's about 50lbs lighter traps 107, but runs the same times. I'm happy with it for now. If it wasn't so rich, I'd think 12.7s are doable. Smells like raw gasoline when sitting still and puffs a little black under hard throttle.


My friend ran his '04 A4 GTO today and managed a 13.4 at 104. The car's bone stock with catback ripped out. It matched what my Z28 did when it was stock and muffler-less. I was impressed with it.



-_-;; The police managed to **** in my parfait with a ticket for seatbelt violation on the way home.

Nice to see something under the name instead of "Launching"


My little brother ran even quicker than I did, but I don't feel cool with claiming his times.

60......1.994
330....5.527
1/8....8.410
MPH....86.19
1000...10.853
1/4.....12.941
MPH....107.30

I 60 slightly better than he does, but he's got a 55lb weight advantage over me. I'm contemplating yanking the front sway bar and seeing if we can get a 12.8.

Congrats on the new time. It just sounds so much better saying you have a 12 sec car doesn't it?

Congrats!

Jackets take 4-6 weeks, depending on name size and stitching times.
