Finally!!
Finally!! This is actually a late post as I hit the 12's last year. Back in Oct actually. Anyway, all day i was hitting low 13's and even hit a 13 flat. On my last run of the night I finally hit 12.81 at 111.28mph. I was stoked and very pleased. Of course someone rained on my parade and told me that doing it once may have been a fluke. Unfortantly it was the last run I could do for the night. After a month later I was finally able to go to the track again and I ran not one but two back to back runs of high 12's. This was at Richmond dragway which is 76 ft above sea level. The DA at the time was -50. Anyway, mods are very little. This is on a 2000 Chevy Camaro Z28 with a oem SS hood and aftermarket SS rear spoiler. Mods are as listed, off road y-pipe, SLP LM1, LS1 Motorsport LID with K&N filter and a mail order tune from Frost which allowed the off road y-pipe egr delete and AIR delete. I have the SLP Bilstein shocks and SLP eibach Springs as well. OEM C5 Z06 17x9.5 wheels all the way around using a 6spd with the stock 3.42 gears. The spare and jack was removed. This is also a t-top car as well.
Time Slip shows:
reaction: .1050
60ft 2.02
330ft 5.5284
1/8 et 8.3726
1/8mph 85.67
1/4et 12.8182
1/4mph 111.28
Again, I'm very happy with the results and pleased to say that this is the fast car I have ever owned.

nice job!
your 60 foots and trap speeds indicate your car could be a LOT quicker with some traction. Get or borrow some dr's for a pass.
also you dont need to wait till the green light comes on to go - your reaction time leads me to believe you waited for green , this wont give you a quicker et but can give you an advantage against the car in the other lane , try leaving on the 3rd yellow next time and google "shallow staging"

i do agree with you on my 60 ft and my trap speed. main reason I havnt tried using DR or slicks is because of the famous nightmare of blowing up my 10 bolt lol. It does have 92k miles on it. Trust me I would love to hit low 12s with the little bit of mods I have and be proud. As far as shallow staging I'm aware of it but everytime I get to the tree my adrenaline sky rockets. My personal best R/T is .098 I believe lol and my Personal best 60 ft is only 2.01. My street tires are the sumotimo htz 2. I get them pretty cheap on a mustang website lmao. Thanks for the info and maybe one day I wont care if I blow the rear and get some DR and try for low 12's.

lol ya everytime i got towards the end of the track shifting into 4th was a bummer cause it was so short lived. when i first started driving it on the track i tried the very first run to stop shifting in third i was very disappointed when the motor was bouncing of the rev limiter lol. looks like i need to do some math and see what size tire would work so i dont have to shift out of third. I might be SOL though. The tires I have are not the best in the world by no means. Unfortantly I did move and looks like all the tracks around here are 1/8 mile tracks. Guess I will have to focus on beating my 1/8 time.
