It's a pewter WS6 with Torque Thrust II's. Not sure if we've ever met. I don't go to the track that often. I've been to T/A and DD a couple of times. You sold your WS6 and bought a Z06 right? Nice!

My new best with the new set up is 11.33@122mph 1.57 60'. DA that day was 6000.

Hi shaulimathvader, thought it was you. You can probably get the times you're after at Thunder Alley, the track is better prepped there and bites good. I personally like TA better but I can't race there anymore, I was told I need a 6 point roll cage. They're enforcing IHRA rules this time around. You better hurry though, it's getting warmer and denstiy alltitude will be through the roof soon.

hey firehawk00,

Are you the dude with the silver hawk? How's the CF Dual friction clutch working out for you? I am thinking of getting the same clutch for my car.


Peace

What's up Ever, yes it's the dude with the silver hawk....Saul. I like my CF, so far it's held up to everything I've thrown at it. Two things that are a must if you get a CF though, First: You're gonna need an adjustable master cylinder such as the one I got from McLeod, the stock one will not be sufficient and you end up with shifting problems right of the bat. Second: Make sure you do what the instructions say for a CF and break in your clutch, make the sacrifice and put in those 500 miles on it. I made the mistake of not doing that with my first one, raced it with less than 100 miles on it and blew the disk. If you follow those two rules, I'm positive you'll be very happy with it.

new best for me, 13.28@105.8 with a 1.98 60', 3530lb raceweight.

I am running on 7 1/2 cylinders, hope to take care of that really soon. DA is going to **** real quick though, we're already hitting 7000ft . Hoping to hit high 12's come Oct.-Nov with next round of mods.

I don't even know if I'm going to run it at all this summer. We probably only have about two weeks tops before it gets too hot to get the best times.
