Thought he had an easy win...
You should figure out how to hide those coil packs with some stock looking valve covers and see them scratch their heads!

The newer ones, with LS super charged motors.

Most older ones are defenseless unless its been worked over a lot

Thats because u have no information.

On cooper cobra all season tires , from an idle of 800rpm no hole shot just drop the hammer when it lights up Green

That guy let you win too, and the timer didn't start till you hit the 60 ft.

Yeah you'll spank a 5th gen ZL1 (12'-15' models)... The 6 gen ZL1 is going to give you fits.... I just saw a brand new one with paper plates run 11.20@125 last friday night and he had no clue of what he was doing with it. They are 10.90 cars in good air and a good driver, on stock tires.

Get notified of new replies
