Good luck, one can get carried away on the mods. I also assume you meant 103, not 113 mph.

Mod fever is a mother.

My first goal was to crack into the 12's with my M6. Barely did that (12.99 @ 113) with a Vortex Rammer and Kumho MX's. Next goal was to crack into the 11's. A 150 wet shot of nitrous got me 11.99 @ 123). My next goal is to get kicked out of the track (<11.50). Weather's getting cooler and I should have my wide band soon to dial in my tune with the new headers so that should happen in a month or so.

I was always jealous of you A4 guys at the track. They could throw a set of gears in and a convertor and run mid 12's all day long.

Good job. I only got to race a track once in my '02...got kicked off for doing 13.6 (on a really dirty/slick track) in a convertible without a rollbar.

It's fun doing that first day at the track! You realize how fun going fast in a controlled environment can be.

Now we need to get you on an autocross course!!!

Enjoy going fast on tracks in your Corvette. That's what they were made for.
