Default 12.7 @ 111

WTF ? i thought my car was faster than that-

got eliminated at the vette/viper shootout by a convert. that ran a 13.2

Your car is faster than that. If it was as an auto would you get as much of a charge out of getting the times? It takes practice and developing your skill, but for me when I get it right the reward is worth the pain of the days when it doesen't go so well.(most of the time anyway;) ) Ric

I agree with Power Shifter.

It was nice meeting you at the track. If I can do a 12.5et with a 00'. You should be able to do it in a Z06. When my 02' comes in, I expect to be running times like Power Shifter.

I have seen two 01 Zs run at KCIR here in KC. Both ran 13.xs at 112 mph. Maybe I will take the 02 down there some day when I get brave enough.

What are your 60'? and are you shifting near the rev limiter?

Hey KDubb, I was in the stands watching everyone run....12.7 was not that bad,considering you have not had a lot of practise in that car....there is a guy here at work that had the white zr1 that won his division...10.99...serious motor in that car as it was previously owned I believed by one of the members here.

This was my first drag race ever to attend......maybe next time i will race also, as my vette comes in 2 weeks.

Good looking Z06 you have
