raced my c5 for the 1st time i took my c5 to the national corvette challenge yesterday. it was my first time out with the car and i was satisfied with the way it performed. i got 3 runs 2 at 12.9x and the final run was a 12.68@112 mph
Thats awsome. Did you have any issues with the clutch? My best time in mine is 12.68 @ 111.98 mph and my first and half of second gear was useless because the clutch spun over. I think I can pull a low 12 sec pass with a new clutch, new upgraded hydraulics, and some stickier tires.

thanks for the kind words everyone, i will be going back in a couple of weeks, but probably to mason dixon, im hoping to get a little deeper in the 12's, maybe a 12.4 with a good 60'

That's awesome man, and your rwhp in your sig is pretty close to a stock C5Z06! Factory freak? or have you done more to it than your sig indicates?
