4. Will you be racing during the day or at night...?
5. If its a stick what RPM do you leave the line at ...?
6. if auto do you have DR tires on it...?

8. How many times have you raced a car ON the track before...?
9. Do you know nay "HOT" chicks that can distract me so if its a slow time I won't be paying attention to the ET

There were no FRC automatics made, from the factory at least.
Not sure of the 1/8th mile splits but a bone stock automatic C5 should run anywhere in the 13.3 to 13.6 range at roughly 102mph-106mph range in south Florida summer heat.

If it's 100% stock, it depends a lot on driver and track.. IF you are at a good track and you are able to launch hard (and it's not easy to launch those C5 or C6's with stick shift) you could hit very low 13's or even high 12's in winter. The average joe will probably run in the 13.3 - 13.8 range... I had both, a bone stock AT '98 Vert and a bone stock MT '98 Vert.. The AT Vert ran 13.30's - 13.40's in winter and 13.60 - 13.80's in summer.. I didn't have the 6-speed for too long.. My best run was a 13.40's @ 107 mph in hot weather on a bad prepped track (2.15 60' time)
