Being a 6 speed, I would think it would trap a little higher Jason.

Explains everything!

On a side note, you would have to have everything done to run that time.

That made me LOL!

I'm sure your trap was up there around 110mph too.

I'd rather see the 500hp car that runs 12-13's at the track, then the car wrapped around a tree or telephone pole.
Or who don't have a car that is track legal.

I am not putting a cage in my car.

Wrapped around a tree is for those who can't drive. There are plenty who can't drive wiping out at the drag strip, too.

iirc you have to run faster than a 11.5 to need a cage, <13 only requires a helmet. I believe Hennessey's track has no rules though if you're concerned.

I'll take a prepped surface with no cops + EMS on hand over a night in jail, car in the ditch, or explaining to the police why you slammed your nice car into a highway barrier.

That 11.5 was on Hennessy's poorly prepped track. This is a high ten second car.

Ten years and four high performance vehicles (three of them Vettes) and counting. And the only ticket was in my Honda.

That would be me..

Me and Caleb (the op in this thread) sadly did not get to run while he was in. I'm sure we will next time he comes up though.
I think it would be a VERY good run for me a Caleb going off what he trapped the other day. Although it was no where near everything his car has it in. I think he would pull on me up top, probably just as much as that C6Z did.
