I want solid 12 second car...
I know it's achievable with bolt-ons, but what would be the quickest way to get there? Traction I know will be a vital part of doing it. So i'm planning on buying new rims anyways, maybe some 17x11 with 315 drag radials. Lid and Exhaust obviously. What else could I get for cheap that would get me into the 12's? or would I already be in the 12's.
By the way my car is a bone stock 2001 SS, 6-speed.

Some people have lucked out over the years, but a LOT have not.

Not really sure how great of a driver I am...I try not to destroy clutches left and right. I can launch pretty well and get through the gears quickly but I doubt i'm what you consider a "good driver." I have thought about rear end gears but 3.42's are good enough for me especially with a weak rear-end. I have raced another ls1 m6 car and I was pulling on him and he had exhaust/lid/headers and I am bone stock. He was a 99.

3.42 is a pretty low gear to have in a 6spd man....i'd definitely get AT LEAST 3.90s or 4.10's. with dr's and of course the driver mod, they would definitely help you a lot on your quest for 12's
