Default Hi all, New here.

Hey guys, New Vette owner here.
Just bought a White C5 auto for the wife for Christmas. She doesn't know yet and its in hideing.
A little about me. Die hard car guy, had everything from 66 Chevy II race car to a 78 Dodge "Lil Red Express" truck.
Last few were Mustangs includeing my last one. 96Cobra due to ease and cheap $$ of mods.

Back into all out drag racing now that the kids are a little older I have some time and $$$$.
Wife put up with my "Car stuff" long enough I figured it was time for her to have a little fun.

The Vette will remain stock for now though.

This is My sig on the few other sites I'm on and a shot of the race car. (Its really not that fast.)


And a shot of the C5 that the dealer had on their site, Will get new ones when it comes out of hideing.

Stampede3 what will your rail run?

Sound like you found the right lady, and she found a good guy that takes care of her.

Welcome to the CF

Thanks Dave, yes she is a good one. She puts up with me. lol

The rail really isn't that fast, its set up for 32" tires and for consistency and reliability reasons I'm on the 33.5s right now.
On the 33.5s its 9.40-9.50@137 1.3 60'
On the 32s it goes 8.80-8.90@143 1.2 60'

EDIT: I have a old vid of when I made my license passes, where would be the best place to post it?
