Default M6 SS goes 12.22 on street tires.

Still only boltons. My only change from last year's best time is the new valvesprings and higher shift points. The weather was around 45 deg. with a 30.19 bar.. My new best goes like this.

60'.....1.866
330'....5.180
1/8.....7.908 @ 90.15
1k......10.24
1/4.....12.221 @ 114.31 (new best time and mph)

I weighed the car after the pass and it came in at 3675#.

Congrats Dave, good seeing you and Larry there. That's a darn good 60', and ET on a cold track with street tires. I wish I had thought to check my car on the scales.

Nice mph and ET for the setup. I'd say put some skinnies on it, run a decent dr and cut your 60ft down to a 1.6 and you will be 11.9@114-115 mph.. What are you waiting for?

Awesome runs today.-Fred

WTG!!!! Dave. Nice times especially with 140,000 miles. And you can stop all the talk about you can't drive. It doesn't hold water.

Those are awesome numbers. I have similar mods and it would be awesome if I could make a run like that. But I cant make it to the any track in time because I got a cam goin in at the end of the month so we will see.

Also when you launch do you drop the clutch or kinda slip it a little?

So easy even a caveman could do it. lol. My flatshifting only goes to prove that there is even more time to be picked up in driver skill alone.
