Thanks, that was the best we could do! Track prep by Johnny Davis & his guys was outstanding. We ran 11.385 11.384 11.373 11.372 . We left the track really down thinking thč A-8 had run 11. 370 only to find out it was 11.377. Snorman said 30s were possible he was right. We new the A-8 could out run the A-6 with almost 123mph. But we thought we saw a weakness, with its 4:56 1st gear they might have trouble hooking with stock tires. Only way we could beat him would be 60' it worked today. Thanks to Zack, Matt, Justin. This has been alot of fun !

Congratulations to Vengeance, for the Straight drive the way we did it in the 60's , nice pass!
I only had one opportunity at the track to go for the record at this power level. After numerous oil-downs and track clean-ups, it took me until the 3rd pass to get there. Unfortunately, I now have to return the car to stock because I have another project car coming and I am running out of time.[/QUOTE]

But It's run so good I would feel guilty doing that, maybe retire him & put him out for stud !

Congrats to you guys as well. Definitely getting it done on your end.. Like you, I wish we had more seat time as I really wanted to put our car in the 9s before we sold it, but one track outing was all we had time for.
Our C7Z (M7) arrives today so we will have to settle for putting it in the 8s

I don't get why it's .013 slower in 1/8th and shower in mph then 1/4 still .013 seconds slower but gained 2mph..
Wonder if timing a machine messed up. Just weird ..
But damn those auto are fast..
So you use launch control on auto or turn traction control off?
On manual the PTM modes suck on drag strip pulls power on shifts

Thanks everyone, I would like to think it did. We went a 11.31 with great weather conditions a few weeks ago, bone stock and today ran a 11.32 with weather conditions not the best so im assuming maybe it made up for it.
