At the strip
Could not get the 60 ft under 2.016. but the car was flying, it made an 11.98 @120.04 bumping the rev in 2nd and 3rd with the 2.016 60 ft. 
Has a lot more 
Got to meet Buffalo3 with super sharp black lt-3 2008 auto running 12.45-12.55 I just blew it my first run before and ran a 13.59. But I came back with a 12.30 118.5 to his 12.50 116.5. I was a little nervous

If you had 4.10s and the clutch assist spring removed you would have done better.
J/K man I hope you don't take it too personally.
Seriously though, nice runs. A little more seat time and I'm sure you'll be able to hit consistant mid 11s.

The shift to second, an easy shift to second.The nerves was racing a forum member
with an 08 Auto hes runs 12.50's every run. I blew the run right before him, but managed the 12.30. All I did was give a enough pedal to stay
with him till every thing settled.

Very impressive. Back in high school a 10-11 sec daily driver would have been unheard of. That car has the ability to go high 10's, low 11's.

Nice meeting you and Trisha Thursday. You've got a terrific car and wife, what more could you ask for now that you got an 11?
To those on the forum who don't know Bob not only is he fast, but he's got lightening quick reflexes enabling him to stay off the wall when his motor outperforms his street tires, and he fishtails at 80 mph! A hairy site!
Best I could do was a 12.457 with a 60' of 2.086. I am totally base stock with 2.56 rear and the OE tires. Used S auto in Competition mode.
My top mph was 116.51 at 12.515 seconds running S auto with TC and AH on.
BTW Woodburn is at 170' elevation per my Garmin GPS, if you ever wanted to know.
Hope to see you there again.
