This^^^. You have ta which is the heaviest of the fbodys. My camaro weighs right at 3480 and I've seen ws6's push high 35xx. Still though 100lbs is only going to be roughly 1 mph so I wouldnt worry. Adam is right though My car weighed 3480 bone stock
. And I had it weighed the other day still at 3480 however there is a stereo system in it now with a sub an amp and a replacement jl amp for the monsoon system and new speakers. Just taking the sub box and amp out netted me -65lbs. So I'm at 3415 when I go to the track which is lighter than stock but literally nothing taken out.

I know its do able and he can drive. Just have to wait for good weather since its starting to get 90+ out here. Remember his car is heavy. I bet its 3600-3650 race weight so if he got it down to notches weight then he'd easily go deep in the 11s.

ls1rob you should try and go as far as possible with a bolt on setup and then drop some internal mods into it down the road and itll be ever so worth it when you do. That's what i plan on doing, i put off doing a H/C and just bought **** to lighten up my car and some bolt ons.

That's exactly what I want to do. Hit 11's how it sits right now, then do a few more things to it and see what I can get out of it.
The car still doesn't have UDP, has a stock LS6 intake etc. There is a little power left on the table. It also has almost nothing for suspension, just basic UMI LCA's and panhard. Doesn't have relo brackets, or a tq arm.
With little more weight pulled, hooking better and maybe a little more power I could see 11.8@115 for sure like Bayareass said. Then go cam only, H/C etc and look for 10's.

This is one reason you don't put 4.10's in these cars. At 105mph your already past your power peak. You can't make it go over 115 if your max speed is 115 in 4th.

Yea really though. We need to get my car on a scale and see what it weighs. To be honest I think my car can hit 11's exactly how it sits, just need good weather and a little better of a 60'. Should have no problem hitting 11.9ish
Yea I feel the love, always see you clown on ppl for driving. Glad I made the cut lol.

nothing major really. A little of this and a little of that. Suspension was 130k stock, a ported ls6 intake me and friends did years ago, one of the new 7.25" spec clutch's, a little porting on a set 00 exhaust mani's and about 200lb of weight reduction. 3.73 gears

It was at the track two weeks ago and ran 12.0. It could of went a little faster but that was his first time out in a long time so he was getting back into the swing of things. Plus the head wind wasn't helping. It def can run 11.90s the way it sits.

Thanks man, it came down to the R8, Maserati Granturismo or the 911 Turbo
inB4 the why no 13' GT500, ZR1 crowd. The R8 isn't the fastest thing but overall its a great car and fun as hell to drive. Only runs I've had so far are a chopper from a dig at a light and a bentley GT from a roll lol
