Default Vettes In The Valley

Went up with a friend to the musclepoloza car show and drags at Lebanon Valley yesterday.

There were several c-5 and c-6 vettes in attendance.

What surprised me though was the 3 stock c6 coupes that ran and the poor times.
They both ran low 14's.

Even stock, the c5's let alone the ls2 and ls3 c6's run low 13's in the 1/4.

My 00 coupe which is almost stock,except for exhaust and intake,ran 12.6 @ 110.5 (best) a few weeks ago,and a buudy who went up there with me ran 13.3 with his bone stock 99 vert, with an auto, and no drag experience.


Has to be driver inexperience. (But 3 different cars?) Ken

ITwas a good time, a bit hot in the sun but oh well.

This z06 ran several runs in the low 10's! Definately not stock,but it did look and sound almost non-modified.

The last shot, was the car show winners parading in front of the stands and encouraged by the staff, and crowd to do burn outs. Really wimpy burnouts on most though.
