Part installs never go as planned. Take expected time and double it. That is about where I average.

This will be my first time out with the Z06. I am hoping for some low 11's at 120 + .

We will also be testing my Dad's NX kit on his 01 Z/28

so who went? i learned the hard way, stall and street tires don't mix well.

15.621 @ 102.56 - spinning and fishtailing half-track
13.098 @ 107.97 - lowered tire psi, bigger burnout, still spinning for the 1st 100 feet
13.448 @ 107.26 - even less psi, thought it was spinning, let off and hit it again

i have some cleaning to do -

and who was with Speed Inc with the blown Corvette 'vert, that thing looked pretty mean
