Default My car was such a tease today!

After reaching a PB of 12.09@109.6 in December, I got my first shot at the track this season today. I snagged some Weld Prostars with leftover ET streets and sportsman fronts out of the classifieds over the holidays to use instead of my c5z clones on Nittos.

Figured they would be enough to get me into the 11 second club right off the get go this year. Well...the car had other plans, and decided to be a tease:

12.03@110.9 1.59 60'
12.07@110.6 1.61 60'
12.05@110.7 1.61 60'
12.01@111.0 1.58 60' New PB
12.05@110.8 1.61 60'

She just refused to give it up today!
I'll have to wait a few weeks and try her again.

Pay attention to the weather and drop some weight if you can

I'm planning on running a few different tracks in the area this year, so I'm sure I'll make it down there. Only been to cecil so far. I think I saw your TA in someone's facebook pic at delmar today.

Lol we ended up pulling my passenger seat, spare and jack were already gone. Prep was pretty decent again since I was able to leave at around 3500, even flashed it to 4 grand once. Gotta get a fresh set of rear tires and try again. If all else fails, the Fast 92 I have sitting at home should do the trick.

that is weird...I ran 11.94@111mph on a 1.69 60ft

I would think with your 60ft and trap you would be running 11.8 easy.

same trap as him but you had to make more power to get to that trap pushing a chevelle through the air at 111 than a 4th gen , I bet your 1/8 and 1000 foot were better than his by a larger margin than 1/4.

love chevelles btw had several back in the 80's 70 camino , 71 350 malibu ,71 350 SS , 72 malibu 350 , 73 ss454 4gear they just arent as slippery at speed as the cars that came stock with LS engines.
