nice job, what did she run!

I was bracket racing and dialing mostly around 11.7's..
I was most consistent in that range. although she runs 11.50's..

Always a good day when you make it to the money rounds! Congrats.

Car looks great.

FYI you can buy black Grand Sport emblems now from GMpartshouse.com , I think they look better on a black motif car and are easy to change out.

Doesn't appear as if you have enough benji's in your hand to quit your day job. Glad you're having fun with your vette. That's what it's all about Bet that four door station wagon scared the hell out of you.....didn't it?

That's more like it. That is what I paid iirc.

captainbob

The gmparts site wants $390.. OUCH!

Yikes.

Give Gene Culley or Patrick Trageser a call at 484-949-2099. They have taken care of me for years.

Looked at your pics I thought, hey that looks like the tracks around here. Then I saw Bremerton, and oh that's why, lol. I hope to get out there this year. Nice job drilling the tree and gettin paid!! So I'm wondering why you dialed 11.35, and amazed you won that round.

So in summary let's not call each other morons or liars there's no need for it. Magnuson(Maggie) and E force provide great street power and very safe but could be limited at the track . A&A, ECS have awesome power and very expandable to make even more power but with power comes caution. A&A sc are much cheaper than eforce or Maggie . Personally I would go with A&A . I can't justify spending $1000-1500 more for eforce . Now if all things were the same then eforce/Maggie would be my choice just for safety reason .

Yea, I was down to a couple of final rounds and wanted to try something different.. Opposite of dialing slow and fender racing.. It worked (a little luck there) I wont do it again.. That's for sure..

I really think it's about preference.. I've owned both types.. I just like the feel of the bigger low end torque.. Lots of PD's at the track.. ZR1 killed Nurburgring.. Is there any C6's with centri with those kind of times? Would love to see someone run there with a nice centri set up..

The new ZR1 7:19.63 lap time was set by Corvette engineer Jim Mero and is a solid three seconds off the Viper ACR’s best, but its just shy of the production car record set by the Porsche GT2 RS at 7:18. (Faster lap times do exist by a Radical and the Gumpert Apollo, but it’s not hard to argue that those cars aren’t true production models).

Yea you caught that guy napping...that's pretty rare past the first round.

Of course, I did that very thing to give away the second round last time I was out!

A general rule of thumb an old track rat taught me is to never dial too low...you can't beat yourself.
