Me, meanwhile, am happy the C8 is out and am hoping it does really well and drives down C6 and C7s to poverty prices.

I'm at my 10 year I bet, but my dumbass forgot my password (new computer) and forgot my old e-mail password for that e-mail and my backup e-mail linked to that e-mail is a now defunct college e-mail that no longer exists... yay!

6gmarc it is!

Can honestly say Pray has taught me a shitload on the platform and we have all progressed through much testing/tweaking etc. Maybe my OCD'ness for datalogging and details helped some of the the cause too. LT platform is doing very well NA right now. Biggest holdback is obviously needing dual Port/DI fueling.

Nanner went a best of 11.27@121.5 with boltons. E85 did not help MY car much as I stated before. Others have gained a little more but mine was tweaked to death and the 93 side was already hot. Gained 6rwhp same day same dyno showing up on 93 octane and 1/8th tank. did the pulls and drove 25miles to the nearest e85 station and filled up tank drove back to dyno. Both 93 and E85 pulls were hot. 6rwhp. So at the track, i may have gotten a tenth or 1.5 tenths at the MOST from it. Probably closer to a tenth over 93. Just never got the hard data because I wasn't driving 2hrs to the 1/4 track and wasting runs on 93 octane. 28mph backhalf in dat bitch doe

Here is vid of the 11.27 run

On another note.. the C8 Vette is pure sex...and that is only the base model Stingray. I anticipate the GS/Z06 variants will be unreal awesomesauceness. I am having a hard time right now deciding if I want to get a base Stingray and trade again when GS/Z06 come out.. or just wait a year or so for them to work bugs out and dealers get out of their greedy adm mode(I refuse to even pay msrp for a car, let alone additional markup)

PS. You want to do a heads up slip bet for 2019? You're TT GTO vs WhiteWhale © for $20USD?

If he doesn’t have rawkers then disregard.
