Im not a very experienced driver, it was the third time at the track ever driving that car or any stick shift for that matter to the 12.2

Was that you??? I was referring to Jim Schindler, who I thought ran a 12.23. If that was you and you are a drag newbie on a stick...damn.

God, your car is so beautiful brutha. I love looking at it..

Do you have HID fog lights, too? It almost seems like it in the pics. If so, where did you purchase them from?

Yeh, I changed those lights also, but I don't remember where I got them. I had them in my 2005 C6 and switched to my Z when I got it. I still have to get more for my other C6.

I'm still waiting for the vids you were talking about Fadi. Hurry, I need some new vids . Later. Scott

Yep, that was me....Jim is a buddy of mine, lives right down the road from me, but I ran that time!...I do have over 1000 passes down the track in automatic cars, but this one is my first stick shift. I have also ran a 12.26 since the mufflers and tune (20 rwhp more)...couldnt get the damn runcraps to hook that night after it got cool. It should be in the 11's on the right day and right track prep.

Scott, if you ever remember where you got the HID's for your fog lights, please let me know. I really want HID fog lights.

As far as vids, you will see some soon. Stay tuned man..

Like I said...first runs with a stick...that's . These cars aren't easy to launch to begin with...even if you have plenty of time on the manual! Those are some wicked times. What track are you running?

I run at HRP in Baytown Texas. It is at about 8 feet above sea level. The DA that day of the 12.23 was about -2000 ft. Perfect day in January. I have a video somewhere of that run. The best 60' so far was 1.82 and it was on the 12.23 run. I have had several 1.88's. This is on the runcraps.
