Default made the 12's!

How I got here... well, let's just say the best mod I ever did for the 01 cobra was trading it on the vette :-)

Car has CAI, 160 thermo and a tune. It is an a6, so I bacically launch it from idle at 500 rpm.. this SUCKS!!! Somebody needs to tune this TM **** out of my tranny so I can launch this MF!!!

Weather was freaking hot and humid today, so I'm pretty happy with the 12.7. I don't know what the DA was, they don't put it on the slip. Any body know how to calculate or find out?

here is my best run:
r/t.............. .326
60'............. 2.030
................. 5.536
1/8 et......... 8.349
1/8 mph...... 87.77
1000'.......... 10.775
1/4 et......... 12.788
1/4 mph...... 111.94

It was the pewter one. I told the guy staging us to go ahead and let you go first. I knew I was gonna get killed and I wanted to run the LT1 behind you. He made me stage with you anyway, lol. I see you pulling the fronts of the ground when the tree hits green. and I'm like... damn! then I just follow you down the track rofl. Nice car!
