My best pass was 8.258 @ 87.38mph 1.98 60' My best 60' was a 1.95 but that ET was 8.27.

I got murdered by a lil red racecar thing that ran 6.25 that pass

I had fun, wasn't expecting much on bald street tires and no tune. I'm thinking about picking up a set of Toyo Proxes TQ DR's anybody use these?

I'm only giving you a hard time! My car is nothing special either maybe a little faster than yours. Bring some other cars with you next time you make it to lakeland. You’re from the Orlando area correct? We need a few more fast street cars over here.

I'm from Daytona beach, actually just moved here about a month ago. So I don't know many people yet. And lucky me Bithlo closes right after I move...

What mods do you have?

Side note, it seems like everytime I drive my "slow" car I get chances to race, but when I'm in my camaro (less slow car) everyone shys away. Its not that intimidating...it has a single exhaust tip so that makes it slow right

Example: this morning I drove my wife's 13' Altima to work to save gas since she's out of town and I had two mustang 5.0's rev at me trying to race at a stoplight....WTF? whenever I line up against one in the camaro they won't even look over at me....

The price was pretty good too, bout the same or cheaper than 555r's. Plus they have odd sizes, I was thinking about running a 275/45r16 on my stock wheels. (same height as my stock tires)

The taller 255/50r16 might mess with my ABS if i leave the shorter 245/50's on the front. IDK

Next project: remove ABS & trac-control!

Yeah man get a lid on that thing! haha, not sure how much difference it makes tho. I have a feeling my weight reduction may have made more difference, I pulled all the passenger seats and anything else unneccesary.

What gears do you have? I have stock 3:23's I would've expected you to trap higher with the M6 compared to my A4.

Unfortunatly I'm not guna make it out Friday for test n tune, I'm getting dragged to a christmas party.

I've stock internals, so it will be detuned alot. Thinking about lowering my limiter again. We'll see how it goes on the dyno. Just looking for 600 and not making any repairs for awhile.

.....and if that doesn't help, I may have a NX MAF kit for sale. Already set up with a 150 shot! It's got everything you need(purge, bottle heater, extra jets, nitrous filter, safety stuff and switch panel). Thought about turning it into a intercooler sprayer : )

I am thinking about trading in my 06-jeep, 02-Z28 and my 95-Bronco on a 13-ZL1. The only thing I owe anything on is the Jeep and well they would just have to make it go away. I dont think there is any equity in the jeep yet being I just bought it about 6-7 months ago.

Or just selling the camaro and bronco outright to put down some good cash.


What do you guys think?
