Video from Woodburn Sorry for my little cousins commentary 
I beat this stang pretty bad he's got 500 hp on his license plate and a 5.0 drivetrain with Nitrous. pretty neet car actually. Funny how at the line you hear him as I'm launching off idle then all you hear is my car all the way down the track. Lot of comments on the sound too bad I suck soo bad at driving it

Its just Friday night trial runs really, you get to race again although that was my last run they kept screwing up time slips it was really pissing me off. You could hot lap though from 4-8:30

LOL headers??? Try headers, cam and intake with 401 to the wheels...yeah I know I suck. Actually the problem is not heating up the tires, after a conversation with DTE about burnouts heating the rear brakes and causing differential failure I just don't do it. I have a line lock then I need to install that should help. But my best 60 ft of the day was 2.15 on that run. But I still spin a bit going into second. Most my runs were 2.2 60ft with 116mph. I just think I'm babying it too much you can hear how long my shifts are....
Thanks Tru Ice for not making too much fun of me...miss my auto I had in my 93 at times like those I like how you say "THO"
Aw well I'm drag race challenged what can I say

You didn't have to edit your post Ice I wasn't offended, I make driving bad look and sound good
I had Nitto Dr's on for the day with no burnouts. I'd lug it off the line spin a bit then let off a little and it would catch then go you can see it in the vid really, then shifting into second I have to let off a bit before getting into it or it will spin pretty bad. It really picks up steam after the 1/8 though there was not a car I went up against that I wouldn't have caught if the track were just a little bit longer. Even one that ran low 12's I was coming up on him pretty quick.
Plus I think I'm not shifting it hard enough you can hear it pause when going into 3rd and 4th in the vid. Just need to practice. I will say the car is downright scary on the highway...

Hopefully I just need a better tune from Ellis to solve that. Next mods for me will be 90/90 w/ a aftermarket MAF, and probably some better fuel injectors. I'm leaning out up top w/ my Vararam, w/ the amount of air coming in. So I can only imagine how much more fuel I'll need after the 90/90 goes in.

So if the tires aren't sticky and I'm just going to spin there is no reason in my mind to beat the crap out if it for a little better time. I'm thinking a linelock and some 16 inch et streets, and a textrilla clutch next year and launch the bitch.

On a serious note, have fun and congrats. I've got about 2 yrs left before I jump in to that pool. If you ever need help or advice on the married life ask Mark. lol Apparently he's doing something right, when he's still walking after removing his wife headlight on her car.

Kind of hard to hear if we are hearing your car or the mustangs. Also looks like you took a little nap on the staging lane.

I know what you mean on how hard it is to do a burn out with stock clutch and no line lock. The Textralia is much, much easier, and now line lock has moved down on list of wants/needs. Don't worry, these cars were made to run hard, and hard is what i am doing. Check out my sellers rating in header for insight on stock Z06 clutch and what it can take. I think I had 89 launches and then sold it for 200 bucks, and it now works fine in an F-body. Come on up and join us sometime, lots of fun. glad you got the stang, as I didn't saturday. Great run by the way, just keep at it, we all started somewhere, and if you watched me Sat you would have thought man aren't Z06's faster than this.

Thanks for the encouragement! Well you got me thinking about having that line lock installed next week then trying to make it to the track a couple of times late sept... The car should be capable of 11's...maybe I'll buy some BFG DR's too for the rest of the summer
And Nathan you keep up with the fat jokes, just watch it I'll go all Jenny Craig on your *** and you'll have NO advantage
