Orange ChevyII, a few questions... Your car has a raceweight of 3800lbs, its an M6, makes 425ish to the tires on motor, 60fts a 1.67, and will run 11.83 at 116? This is a 2010 SS M6 with headers, exhaust, tune, airbox and thats it right?
A 2002 camaro M6, making 425rwhp, with a 1.67 sixty foot, rolling 4 deep weighing 3800lbs (because thats what it would take to get it to that weight) should run the same time or close? Hasnt happened.
Im just trying to understand something here. These cars STOCK are running at the best 12.90 right? So add the best headers/exhaust, air intake system, and tune the hell out of it and you go from an average of 365-370rwhp stock, to 425-430. Thats a total of MAX 65rwhp gain. Since when was 65 rwhp worth OVER a full second deduction in ET in the 1/4 mile?

1, he took 4 tenths off his 60ft, thats worth 6 tenths by itself...
2) he lightened the car, thats worth a few tenths...
3) he added 50+ hp, thats worth a half second or so...
and since when did 425hp 4th gens not be able to run an 11.80?? i remember a few stock engined cars running 11.50's with just some lightening, bolt-ons and a converter, yeah, autos not sticks, but still a bone stock engine...

plus the fact he is running in the high humidty and heat in TX..
I think with it being a nitrous car he is spraying a little here and there...and a little more when needed, if you know what I mean.

Ehh, the vids speak for themselves.
Car has ran consistantly faster every weekend, I dont guess I understand whats so hard to believe. Driving is the most part of it, every .05 you take off the 60ft is a .10 on the big end. My 60ft is better then most out there. Watch the video of the 11.80@116. Launching the car at 52-5500 rpms takes a toll on the clutch, listen real close. I dont dump it, as soon as the car moves I hold the clutch till to keep the rpm's up in the power band.
To me it's not that hard to do, I think I could jump in anybody else's car and run the same et's with the same mods.
With the weight reduction and the mods including the 3 inch shorter tires I run, its not that hard. I went from being in 3rd gear to 4th gear through the traps with the tire swap.
I have posted every mod and every video of my fastest passes. I'm showing every body else how to do it. The car made 427/428 to the wheels with out the cam. Its making alot more now, I plan on running some low 11's tonight if I go to the track on motor. I dont even have the plate on the car right now, should I video that before the pass?
The car will run 10.50's next time I spray.

Personally i dont find it too hard to believe. This isnt an LS1 car, so being cam-only i dont see 11's out of the question since its running 12's showroom stock. Plus 1.67 60 ft's already dictates atleast high 11's, and plus he's spraying also.
To Orange ChevyII great 5th gen, keep up the good work/driving. Hopefully it'll be in the 9's with a little time.

I've been doing a lot of practicing launching my heavy car. The clutch may not be happy, but I can hook pretty good and not spin on the street. That's with the 20" Nitto's, I'll have 18" Toyo Dr's soon. Everything is here, just waiting until I go to the track on Wed for some testing.
