Sometimes 1/8th mile tracks are all you can get. Most Iowa guys only have MAM, Cedar Falls, or Cordova/Byron as options. Eddyville is the closest 1/8th mile track only an hour away.

It shouldn't need a big stall with a pd blower to cut a 1.57 60ft. And several bolt on 5.0's cut 1.5-1.6 60ftswbt/kdanner autos cut 1.5 60fts and auto with bolt ons. Add a pd blower and can get them 1.5 real easy, centri is a little harder with no stall.

Mustang redlighted. Either way the ZL1 was losing.

And haha at another heat soaked ZL1. You sound like termi/ GT500 owners.

Minus the red light and both cars with equal mods it should be a better race. I agree on the 1/8 mile track stuff. Better off street racing.

Hold on just a min.... I'm a fan of 5th gens & ZL1s no doubt. But you owning a 5th gen & calling a ZL1 a "pos" is just pure comedy

I would hope a drag radial and tuned 5.0 could outrun a vert Zl1 with stock tires.

it is a piece of ****.

im sorry that I believe a $60k car should have an easier time cracking sub 12's and not suffer from major heat soak
