Fun race with a Cobra Ran at the track friday at baytown, it was kinda funny cause I happen to line up with a 03 Cobra and he's running on drag radials doing a nice burn out and all, an my vette is using bfgs kw with a hard *** 300 tread rated compound tire. So I' am thinking he's got the upper hand . I treed him at the light and were running hard to the finish line , I look over as we near the finish line and I only had him by a half a car . IT WAS A DAMN GOOD RACE , WE BOTH RAN MID 12'S AT 116MPH. O YEAH" I WON THE RACE with a regular street tire.

Mods are patriot heads, comp cam 238/242 fullexh fast92intake etc ... the problem now is I need $2000.00 clutch upgrade (labor included in the price ) next in order to trap higher on the topend. My stock LS2 clutch has 45,000 miles on it now. the higher the speed the more the slipping clutch is noticed ( shifting from 3rd to 4th ).**** for vettes ain't cheap
Get 'er fixed though and back to raping at the track.
