time for a roll cage went to track, 3rd time ever last night, ran 2 runs. got booted on the second one. car is 07 Z06. mods are CAI, LG headers, Borla cat-back, tuning, DRs. temp was 82, humidity horrendous, at Texas Motorplex in Ennis.
results are shown on slip (i'm #378, the SC stang from the video is #381), my friend (
) recorded my first run 11.79, but forgot to turn on camcorder for my second run. i posted the 11.79 run here.

Way to go man !!! Imagine what she'll do with a built rearend and some tires that hook even better. High 10's for sure. Then with the cam you'll be in the low 10's, and only a spray away from 9's. You are doing great at the track. I wish you the best of luck bro. Gotta love those LG Pro longtubes....

I just had a roll bar put in my car w/ the swingouts. But, I don't own a C6Z06 either.

Nitrous should offset the weight nicely
