12.4 - [ Video ]
Hey guys, just got back from the track again. THANK YOU SO MUCH Chuck aka Enderz06 for letting my borrow your DR's. I owe you buddy.
Anyways...went to the track today and ran a 12.4 with a 1.876 60' time.
I was running consistent 12.48's. Man, i am so pumped.
here is the break down on that run.
60' - 1.876
330' - 5.257
1/8 et - 8.05
1/8 mph - 90.72
1/4 et - 12.42
1/4 mph - 112.76
My mods are bfg's, cai, and exhaust. I am putting down 345 rwhp. See, 01 Z06's arent THAT slow :lol:

:D
I should be able to get a 12.3 pretty easily. In that run above, my tires were spinning in 1st. So i know there is more in it.
Next time i will try to let go of the clutch slower, rather then dump it like i did in the above run.
Not too shabby for 345 rwhp..:)

Nice run.
You sound surprised that old 01' can go. Don't be, after a few of the same basic mods, they are all the same Z06's.
You need to set your target now and don't stop until you run it. My 01' ran a 12.17 with a zip-tied air filter and no cat exhuast. Once I broke the 12.20's I actually relaxed and enjoyed the car more.
(car has over 40K on it and seems to run better all the time)

Re: 12.4 - [ Video ] (moparmike)
LOL..i am just sayin that out of sarcasam. I say this because a lot of people say "only an 01" when they are talking about a racae, track, etc...making it sound like it is sooo much slower then an 02, where in reality, a cold air intake will make up the difference.
Yes, my goal is a 12.2 for now. We will see what happens next time. i will keep you guys posted if anything good happens.
while i am at it, i have a question.
do the bfg 315-17-35 bfg dr hook as good as the new 295-35-18 bfg dr??
I have the opportunity to get a set, but the 315 set is $500 cheaper. is it a waste of $ to get the 18's when i can get the 17's for 500 less??

Re: 12.4 - [ Video ] (moparmike)
I think if your chooseing between 17" or 18" DR, the first question is do you have an extra set of 17" front wheels for the 17"DR? Yes 01's are quick, I ran 11.9 with mine, F1's,Stock air box cover on, not to take anything away from the 01 but 02-03's are an improvement on an allready grate car!! Ric
