10.57 @138.64. with a conservative 1.67 short. This is a pleasure car and is used mainly for fun. It could be a DD if necessary. See mods below. OOPS. I ALREADY POSTED ON THE THREAD...SORRY.

9.79 last fall, turned up the boost a month ago, hopefully I'll see a 9.2ish out of it

It WAS my DD for 25k miles when I had the 6speed in it, it now has an auto, and is driven every sunny day I can find

How much money was invested in modding your cars to get to 10's. Excluding the cost of the car?

12k = motor
2k = 4.10 diff
1200 = clutch
600 = slicks
all other mods = 10-15k (suspension, hood, lights, 3 diff sets of wheels, shifter, tunes, ect....ect....

Looks like C6's are superior, for busting 10's. Some serious road rockets out there. Awesome rides everyone!

Same here, I'm at 11.1 right now and shooting for a 10.9 by mid December with no other changes to the car.

Not all that much relatively speaking, my car has only bolt ons (and not even all of the bolt ons either) on it.

My best was an 11.0 at 128 mph.... LS2 A6 maggie 112 and exhaust. Car has a forged motor, stall convertor, cam and should be in the 10's with the stall alone.... Will have some updated numbers soon.

Car runs like stock until you hit the loud pedal.
