Then your driver sucks.

There had to be something wrong with that. It didnt sound right, almost like the revs didnt sound proper. I just thought it would have run better. Still an amazing car.

yeah i am not a very good drag racer. but this was the first time i ever ran a corvette down the dragstrip. i think the stock car could have gone 11.3 and the ZR700 10.7 with a better driver. my point about the 6 mph difference tells the story on power whereas the et is all about traction and driver.

I'm sorry John, but you have got a long way to go to gain credibility in my eyes, and i'm sure a lot of the board feels the same. You've screwed too many people over.

F-body's are capable of a 12.9 maybe 12.8 on a GOOD day, but not all DRIVERS are capable of the time. Is it that hard? really?
