Yeah I was happy to see how soft the sidewalls are too, being only 2 ply.

Thanks man, he's been wanting to run since he got it, C6 minor weight reduction, 416 LS3, RPM 6060. Cars were just about dead even, I'd edge him by only a fender each race.

Finally got into the 10's. Will be tuning the suspension and working on the 60'. Trap speed was better also.

I'm definitely happy with how the car performed. I mounted my gopro to my helmet. Will be working on a Youtube vid as well as vids of my runs with the C6 vette.

i gotcha. I know who Marko is. The trans am is an ls1 with low boost for now. Guy is new to tuning a boosted car so he’s trying to ease up in boost with baby steps. The car will end up in the 9’s before too long. He went mid 11’s at like 122-123 on I think 8psi but his afr was like 10.5 and his timing was super low. I was trying to guide him in the phone while he was at the track. He’s got a holley terminator which I have no dealings with.


so you outran marko?

He has a nitrous kit on it too doesnt he?

That's badass, the TA isn't Schexnyder huh? I think his boosted TA is dark green though.

I edged Marko by a fender 50-140 each time, he had a passenger in his car though. His car is NA, don't think he's ever spray'd any of his cars.

Both had stock intakes, the yellow C6Z looked completely stock besides the headers. The red C6 base looks stock besides the CAI and headers too. He asked about me doing an LS3 rod mod intake for him.

Both Vettes were a close match with my car, he thinks the yellow vette had a better top end though.

That’s a safe assumption being that mine trapped 131mph. He’s never been to the track.
