Bested My Previous Best ET
Friday I was shocked when I ran 12.33, but Saturday I was even more shocked when I got this time slip:
r/t - .505
60' - 1.896
330 - 5.224
1/8 - 7.967
mph - 90.62
1000 - 10.295
1/4 - 12.253
mph - 114.75
I think I've finally maxed out what this car will do with it's current mods. I tried to top this on my next run and ran a 12.27, so I don't think it's got much more in it. I wanted one last great run before I do heads/cam this March and I think I got it. The weather was pretty good, about 50 degrees, low humidity.

Bill,
What can I say? You are the man!
I think this makes you the fastest "Untouched Motor" C5.
Congrats!!

Sweet runs Bill.....Better make an appointment for that roll cage also unless you want to slam on your brakes like Stealth and C5pig do.....I like it better when the run is a full run, makes the price of admission worth it!!! Cliff

Re: Bested My Previous Best ET (BillY2KFRC)
Thank for the kind words guys. :bb
JD, I'm going to have the heads/cam done in March or April, I'll try and fit it in between Challenge dates so I don't miss any.
A cage is in my future for sure, but it may have to wait until late summer... need $$$$$
Scorp, 6k rpms through a tunnel is just too much fun. Just wait till I get the cam! :eek: It was great driving back with you, made the 2 hour drive just fly by. :cheers:
