Trapped 130 mph last night!

Well, I am apparently getting slightly faster, but my driving is getting worse since I'm not at the track as much haha.

Right now my specs + mods are as follows:

2008 Corvette M6 - Non-Z51 (no options)
AirAid Intake
Kooks 1-7/8 Inch Z06 Headers, no Cats
Z06 Exhaust
SpinMonster Cam (230/234 114)

and

E85

There was a nice tailwind last night and it most certainly helped... and I'll take it haha.

Off of a 1.84 60' I managed to run an 11.21 @ 130.24 mph. I'm extremely happy with that MPH, it is the first time the car has seen it (through the traps lol).

Once it gets cooler, and I learn to get back down to an 1.7 60' I'm fairly confident I'll be seeing those 10s.

Oh, and they booted me out of the track because of those times... love it haha.
