I understand your plight about beating fast cars on the street and beating yourself at the track. Happened to me my first time out with street tires and no experience at Milan Dragway. I run 12.3 at 121.6 mph with a couple of bounces off the rev limiter and an early shift to 4th. A pro could drive my car to 10.9-11.1 with proper traction. I will be happy to hit 11.5-11.65. Would like to see 123-125 mph through the traps.

me and nahaspeemapetalon or whatever on here he hits 12s barely off the spray. and he is only half a car or so faster, there is really no track prep. they rarely set you up to start in the groove, and there is so much rubber from people running street tires its just garbage. yeah i am tempted to make a road trip to a bigger track and let a better driver take mine down the strip just to see what she is cappable of. oh well i am getting a plate kit and ported blower for next year with some cooling and rear end mods so if i dont get a 12 sec slip after that i am going to move my z06 purchase up a few months.

[QUOTE=unit213]True, but the trap speed is what I'm referring to. 123mph isn't
all that far off 125-126mph providing the C6Z driver isn't all
that great with a stick.
My Cobra went 122mph with 455rwhp in mineshaft air. I put the hurt on 2 low 12-sec c5Z's the same day. I bought a Z06 4-months later.
