I have seen bone stock C6Z06 on street tires, not drag street tires, run 11.2 in the qtr.... so be careful who you mess with.....
A max effort pull.

My 80 was no where close to max effort. I had to come out soft to not destroy the dana 44 for a 3rd time

Please pardon the intrusion on the racing side of the conversation, but on the ascetics side, what hood do you have on that 80?

Thanks for sharing i think its extra cool you did this in a later c3,

Your plate reminds me of a first gen camaro back late 70s he hung at our cruise spot his tag read " u lost" everyone who tried him did.

Do you recall up in the NY area about 20-25 years ago an 80 style that was a total sleeper, looked bone stock but pulled like 10s on bottle?

Anyhoo, please keep sharing.

Anyway thanks for posting you have added nothing but maybe ur keyboard is happy .
Im not talking crap. I have watched your build and respect it thoroughly. I was equally insulted by the gentleman that insisted that the other car wasn't driven properly.

I apologize if it came across as anything other than that.

Thanks for the info. Do you know the manufacturer or supplier of that hood. It looks like it give good clearance without sticking up real tall.
