i was VERY surprised. I had a buddy with a 3.8 5 speed '98 Stang. He thought i was full of **** that it was quick. i raced him and told him i'd wait 'til he hit 40 mph. He tapped his lights at 38 mph and i took off. By the time i hit 75 i was starting to pull by him. I had a 1.5 60' and a 14.1 at 98mph. at least that's what i remember. Can't find the timeslip as i am on business in Atlanta. My 60' is what helped me

i'd bring it up to about 1800 to 2k rpms and the *** end would coil up and as soon as the last yellow started to go out i let off the brake Front end comes up and away i go i had launching that thing down to an art. My buddy had a modded Thunderbird SC and when i raced him, he said he's never seen somebody launch it like i could i had V6 Camaro launchin' skillz.LOL My Z28 is a little more tricky. I haven't had it to the track yet but i'm expecting a VERY low 13 to high 12 as i was told it HAD hit a 13.2 with less mods then now from a previous owner. I've got a LS1m Palm scanner that allows me to time me 0-60 and i hit consistance 5.2's 0-60 and a best of 4.8 once. Pretty good with a 6 speed as they are notoriously hard to launch. I launched bad against a HEAVILY modded stang GT and he had me off the launch and i just couldnt reel him in. Next light i told him i had a shitty launch and that it wouldn't happen like that again. It didn't... i tore him a new ******* everytime after that

no i just power brake to the point JUST before the tires would break loose.i was holdin' the brake and holdin' the gas to about 1800-2100 RPM. then when they say go i let the brake off an hammer it. mine usually NEVER spun. I had real good sticky 245/45/17's on it. I am the first(that i know of) that torn out a 10 bolt in a V6i ripped it completely apart and i'm had an auto
