Congrats to you my friend. You and Snoreman are really getting these C7s to haul the mail. I will be in my Z06 hopefully this time next year so I will be meeting up with you for some pointers. My current CTS V is pretty fast but a totally different beast, Damn I love these new Stingrays. Will you be at next weeks Palm Beach event or the event in Lakeland in Feb Florida Street Outlaws?

You are correct, they haul the proverbial azz.
1.73 60 ft time is good! 11.61 at 120.17 is better. I think there is more in this car.

Snorman has been a valuable asset in my racing. Thanks Sean.

I will be in PBIR on Feb 1st for a track day.

May make the 1/8th mile Lakeland Outlaw event.

Very nice job, Craig.
I am at Sebring this weekend, otherwise I'd have been at OSW taking advantage of this cool weather. It sure was cold in the paddock this morning!

Impressive for sure. My 7speed z51 does not feel like an 11 sec car. more like high 12s @ best.

I guess the Autos are that much quicker or my 4000DA is really killing my power

My cars will get the added power soon enough

Have you tracked the car? Maybe it's because of how refined the car is, that it doesn't feel like you're going as fast as you actually are?

Nice Run. It appears that the Z51 and Non-Z51 are very close regarding the 1/4 miles times and trap speed.
