Wow, awesome ET for the trap speed, but what's with the low trap? Obviously you didnt' let off with that ET as low as it is. Sounds like some awesome driving to me!

Nice. Now when you say exhaust, do you mean just catback or do you have longtubes, or headers, as well?

I really have to start driving my cars more, I swear these things get MUCH quicker with miles on them...that's has to be one of the quickest ETs I've ever heard of from such few mods on a manual LS1 F-body, and from a stick driver no less!
Any serious weight reduction done other than the wheels/tires?

Good job Kels.

I know she has a full interior, but I'm not sure if the jack and spare are still in the car.

Thanks Marc!!! Well your milage theory went down the drain with my car then.....shes got 117k on her And she is still very happy! LOL. I actually took the spare and jack out last week - other then that I am running full weight. I wish I could afford lighter tires for my skinnies......the ones on there now weigh a ton compared to Robs!!! Are you going to be out at the track any more this season? I haven't seen you down there since our new bests (when I had the Firebird) Miss ya!

That's what I meant, I knew she had a lot of miles on her and yet she's running VERY strong times so my new belief is that the higher the miles the better!

Not sure but probably, was going to run the Z28 one more time again but now likely not, the C6 might make one or two appearances though. Miss ya too!
