The C4 actually had a red light.. I still had him way before the 60' mark... I believe that he ran about 14 seconds or so...

Good job man! I love putting the smack down on cars that cost double what I've got in mine. Went to Speedworld the other night and didn't see any of the vettes that ran do better than 13.1 A couple modded Z06 even!

The intake didn't seem to make too much of a difference, but that's very likely because of limited airflow into the carb because of the low carb/hood clearance. There's les than 1/8 inch between the front bowl vent and the hood. Ordered a hood scoop to solve that problem and to be able to run a spacer. Will experiment with 1 and 2 inch spacers and see which one will give me the best performance..

I was wondering why you always line up in the wrong staging lane? Is it an ego thing to beat slower cars out of your class?

That video is from the Corvette Challenge.. Only Corvettes race in that category and my Vette is probably the fastest car of all the regular participants..

George, come to the next Cruise In! We could race each other there! That would be fun! 2 badazz C3's going down the track

I believe that I would have somewhat of an advantage because my suspension is setup for drag racing and yours for road racing...but I believe that you have more power and torque..
