Great runs for an ever so slightly modded '99

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.

Nice times, especially for your first time at the track with it.

in regars to the clutch, no i never had any trouble with it at all, however it does have a z06 clutch in it thats fairly new, and i dont slip the clutch at all so that helps im sure.

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?
