Mine is not a daily as far as every single day. But I do drive it whatever day I choose because of having 3 vehicles. The daily driving is divided up amongst them all.

AFR225's
232/610 cam
LG Longs
Fast

I am posting pre maturely but I am hopefully in the 10's, and I don't actually DD the car but pretty close. To and from the gym during the week on nice days, and to work and back on the weekends. Lots of trips too. She's quite reliable/dependable.

Mods in my sig. Will post back with track times if/when OT slows down and I have time. BTW hit 201 mph near the top of 5th this morning !!!!!

PEACE !

No et;s as I never made it to track but, I did for years, drive this car hard, daily and nightly.

fast,afrs,cam TNT100shot 550rwhp

fast afrs cam procharger 615rwhp

fast afrs cam twin turbos 787

The car worked well in every situation except steep inclines(which I would avoid regardless of traffic). Other then that, drag radials that are near there end suck *** in the rain. Besides that, I didn't mind driving it everyday. Happy though, to now own a truck that I can comfortably drive instead everyday.

I don't drive mine everyday but atleast a couple of times a week. The mods are sts twin turbo kit, comp cams valvetrain kit with 214/224 cam, ls7 clutch, dte strut brace, hardened shafts in the rear and c6 z06 clutches and springs, vacuum pump. Since the videos I have added the vacuum pump, bigger turbos and converted to a 3 bar map. Right now I am back in the 11s trying to get the tuning straight.

Awesome pics man !!! Two sayings, 1. No replacement of displacement. 2. If you can't do it N/A, then go ahead and spray !!'

Either way kicks ***. Love the photos, nice job.

I dont have a corvette but when I do get one, I plan on going with a LS3 with heads n cam setup and I hope to run 10's. So you might as well put me on the 10 second list too.
Heck, I might as well start telling people now I have a H/C vette that runs 10s.

Point being, some of you people might have the power to run 10's but actually getting that 10 second slip in your hand is ALOT harder than you think.

When you get one come back and talk to us! And an LS3 heads cam wont put you in the 10's on a base C6!

I know what you mean ! My posted runs are in SLC,Utah and DA on the day in question was approx 7700 ! I figure if I can slip it into the nines with the six speed up here,the car should be a reasonable contender anywhere in the US ! I would love to run Englishtown,Atco or somewhere with 300 or LESS DA ! BTW,it took me a FULL season at the track,learning the car,the proper(or best for me) launch technique and fine tuning the combo to be able to make the runs it does now. I believe based on the MPH and the fact thats on about 12.5 psi that their is enough left(esp if I can improve my poor 60fts) to get me a single digit timeslip. Time will tell. Best of luck and congrats to ALL of you that dip in the tens in a street car,it takes alot of work,time,skill and money !
