Im extreamly happy and impressed with the way the car runs for what it has done to it that is for sure. I cant wait to get the heads and cam done to it this winter and see how much of a beast she is going to be next year!

No I only have skinnies on the front/zr1's on the rear... and that was just for the last couple of outtings. I still trapped 121+ in the heat with zr1's on all four corners. I plan on taking it in good weather and running on both wheels to see the difference.

That sounds right. Your camaro should be at least 5mph faster at the track then your c6. It's time to cam the c6!

2mph would be huge. More like .5-1.0 mph. You would have to have tank tracks on your car to pick up 2mph.

Every track and street race is different. People cant compare 2 cars with similar mods that are clear across the country. Different track, weather and DA.

What's a snowflake on these cars? 3rd gen wheel? I would think there would be another variable on your run to gain that much comparing those wheels.
