Hopefully the driver is a guy or at least a girl who is impressed with big ****.
You should take 'em buy a car or two.
that would probably make the race dead even cuz he would want to stay rite next to you..

I was mistaken the Vette had a Cold air intake, and Tune (330rwhp). It was at Camaro/Firebird day at NED. A lot of people on the board were there for it. 12.3 with runflat Eagle F-1's at 30 psi.

Stall&Cam&All Bolt on's

I figured out how to solve my problem and it's going to be a TrEX cam and a 4400 stall and a set of ET Street's w a 4:10 and maybe a little spray

NOOOOOO!!!!
STOOOOP!!!!

No 4.10s!! No 4400stall!!! You would have to get slicks to harness the slam on the drivetrain. :yup: First off the gear is too high for the track. Second the converter is too radical for the street. It WILL DOG on the street. You can get away with it with a lower stall without problems, but you are look about 400-600rpm to high. Get 3500-3800stall.

You will find the converter a bit too much. Ask in the Automatic Tranny section. If you are driving this car everyday, you will hate it, if not then you will love it.

As for the gears......ask in the rear end section. You will be shifting in the traps. Tell them waht you want, what you do and how you drive, and they will give you the gear recomendation you will need.

Or get lcuky like me and the first time i took the SS out after i got it dude just got his Z06 with a 6spd and did not know how to drive i ran a 13.2 he got a 13.0 i had him for about 1/8 but he came back no problem he was just spinning and not shifting good at all but since they did not post the times on the board everyone thought my car was the shiznit that night especially as quiet as it sounded being all stock. I had to leave the track after that

I am still not sold... what was the trap speed? 330rwhp is like 10-15 more HP than stock, at best.

Still, I'd have to see it to believe it. 12.3 from a 330rwhp C5 on stock radials?

You didnt have to be a ******** about it, but every mag. ive read have run 2002 and up Z06's 12.4's-12.6's on a good run. Thats just mainly what i see at the track also. I guess the mags (ive read up on) are somewhat correct.
