Default Track Last Night

Went to the track last night, due to some cars breaking and lines moving slow i got 2 passes in. First pass 1.68 60' (best ever) 11.75@116.9, second pass spun a bit 1.74 60' 11.69 @117.3 (new best) so i was happy, that was still on the heavy zr1's all around. I was thinking i'd gain some mph with cooler air than last time, but i mph about the same. Noyzee pointed out though this time i had my cat back capped up, probably worth a few stupid neighbors complaining about noise. Getting the weld's soon, and back up

Hey man congrats on the times. I was up ther with my gto and managed my best so far of 13.61 @ 106 with a horrid 2.25 60' with a 6 speed all stock. I envy you guys with automaticas and solid rear ends haha. Hopefully i can get up there with some better track prep and get a good launch outta this thing. Whats your car look like? just wondering if i saw it there.

Anthony

the car looks stock really, stock t/a hood, chrome zr1 wheels, borla exhaust, if you look inside i have a 6pt cage... the only real thing that distinguishes it is when i fire it up
