Gear heads have to stick together, we are a dying breed. I still hope to see your Z06 run down the track soon, it looked mean as hell yesterday.

On a positive note it happened at 1000 foot mark and she still coasted the extra 320 feet to a 12.30 @100mph.Not bad for 6psi
I seen your car but the plates messed me up, your screen name/plates don't match lol

Sucks about the headache. Glad you got it worked out
I would be more inclined of him running mid 140's +

lane change's cam only ls7 traps close to mid 130's

but the track never lies lol

glad every thing worked out for everyone.

My supercharged Viper traps 133-135. The Z06 has put 2-3 cars on the Viper already, and that was 60 rwhp ago. If the two were to run again, the Z06 would probably put 5-6 cars on the Viper. Z06 puts down 616 rwhp hot, but still is making 600 rwhp at 6000-7000 rpm.

Always nice when people lend you a hand like that. I think the car community has a brotherhood beneath all the **** talking.

Damn, I was going to go but I had my own dealings all day yesterday picking up 1 of my Camaros. Anyway, some people think I am crazy for trailering my cars, but the smallest thing can happen and cause big headaches. One of my philosophies is if someones stuff breaks they can use my trailer to get it home and I can just drive my car home. Tony if I would have been there you would have been more then welcome to load it up on the trailer and take it home, just bring me my truck and trailer back the next day. You wouldn't have to worry about the splitter since we have the same one and the same wheels, I use extra boards to clear it all, along with the winch. When you decide to go next, let me know so I can roll out there also. I got the boot last time, but what is new.

I won't be rolling out there again without my trailer and truck, LOL! What sucks is that my open car hauler is still too steep for my Z06, so I'd have to drag the enclosed trailer around. I actually prefer the open hauler, easier to load up and tie-down, and I can haul *** with it behind me. I may end up selling the current trailer and finding one of those rollback type trailers to replace it. Something like this: http://www.rollbacktrailers.com/

I love the car community, reminds me of the Navy family I'm around now. Sure we have our disagreements at times, but we're always there to help each other in a time of need.

Sorry it didn't work out for you, Tony. I offered my pedal after my 1st pass of the night from my 08. Hope to see your car out there soon. It is a great looking car.
