Default back to back 11.0s....

Well... its bitter sweet tonight.

Improved by almost .30 over my previous personal best.

I was finally getting some kick *** 60' times and i gotta say... it feels GREAT coming out of the hole that hard. freakin 1.55 is sexy!!

Unfortunately i was losing a lot on the big end, and the my tuner and I couldnt really put our finger on it. We're pretty sure we know the deal, but dont want to say for sure yet Dont worry.. nothing major

anyway....... the 10s remain elusive for now. The car sure did get a lot of attention tonight though

thanks!

As far as I know all the late model GTOs in the 9s/10s are LS1 based....


I sure would be happy to be the first LS2 sittin in the 10s.......

Great ET for a heavy GTO in the heat, it sucks to be that close and not get it.
