Default Officially a "low 12 second" car!

Made a few passes at Ennis today in my '01 vert and ran a 12.39 - later backed it up with a 12.38. :party: 60' was only 1.92. :rolleyes: Gotta work on that...

Mods are intake/headers/gears and tuning. Stock internals. :hurray:

Bill sprayed himself to a mid-ten run. By the way, here's an action shot from today's festivities. :D

Traps were 113.6. There was a pretty hefty headwind all day unfortunately. Car usually traps 115'ish. Wish I had captured some in-car video today. :(

While not a C5 owner...I can relate to your feeling! I did a 12.02@118.4 yesterday on COMPLETE street tune/tires drove in, drove home. It felt fantastic, I'm sure you had the same feeling. Congrats! :cheers:
