Default Shift S3ctor

So haven't really posted on here at all since i got my C5 Z06 so thought I should post up how i did at this event

Only mods i have are : B&B Bullets, Callaway intake , Nitto 555R DR's, Lowered on Stock leaf springs.
First past did (all runs were alittle short of half mile Fyi) but first pass i did 141
2nd pass : 140
3rd pass (fastest) 144
4th and last : 139


Probably important to say, I ran on couple occasions fasters speeds than a Stock Lamborghini Gallardo and That aston Martin V12

Both of those BMW's i raced, The white one was making around 420whp, and The 135i was making 460whp

heres a vid of the event. (skip to me racing at 3:58)

Great video man, that's my buddy in the black TTG @ 3:15, he ended up setting the record @ 224.99. Awesome runs with your Vette brother! Can't wait for next year!
