Default My WS6 versus 01 SS at the dragstrip

My WS6 with mods in sig versus my bud's (mtnbkr81) 01 SS at Cordova dragway. It was his first time at the strip and my first time with the cam. We happened to get lined up with each other. My time ended up as a 12.7 and he ran a 13.5 (correct me if I am wrong Tim).

And yes I granny shifted it due to the clutch sticking to the floor problem I was having.

damn your car has a lot left in it, that was some major granny shifting, i shift faster daily driving. Hope you get your problem fixed and post a video with your new times.

Ya, my clutch really sucks at the moment.

However, a new textralia is at home waiting to go in.

Nice man, with some better shifting you should see low 12's! Good going!

Thanks for the comments! I think the car will definitely run a 12 flat, maybe even high 11s, but not without a good clutch and some stickier tires.

I think 113 was my best trap speed that night. I need to check the timeslip to be sure.
