Default Performance Rules! Ha

New IHRA 2002 Rev. rules state all convertibles running 8.59 or faster in the 1/8 mile, a roll bar is mandatory. I thought I might go to the new 1/8 mile track next week and work on my 60' and launch, well thats out!

Any C5 can go that fast running on 4 cylinders. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Time for a Z06 or Coupe ;)
:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:
Paid cash, want to stay debt free!
It's time for a removable hardtop, not a coupe or a Z06.

Its funny, when you run the 1/4. they don't care how fast your 1/8 mi time was, only the finish! :lol: :lol: :lol:
