Look at ROJO99 60' times under 2.0 12's IMOP all vettes will go 12's bone stock just takes the right driver not saying I'm the best but I race motocycles and cars and have been doing it for awhile a good burnout traction control off tire pressure around 18-20psi 4000 rpms or more launch should yield sub 2.0 60' that should put you into the 12's I see alot of C5 guys do a small burnout or none at all tire pressure stock and wonder why the car is spinning or doing whatever if the car bogs it needs more rpms or check the tire pressure take some out it works trust me I'm not a pro just a guy who watches and understands dragracing to a certain degree-Vern

BIG HOSS hit it on the head. Its all in the launch. on my 58 run I was able to sticka 4.5 K launch. If you can get the C5 moving quick you will have a fast car.
I just installed LT's and LS6 intake, but I do not have the DR's mounted now and I can not break into the 12's. On the positive side I am ruinning 13.0's at 109-111MPH with 2.1-2.2 60' times. I am going to mount the DR's for the cool fall weather coming up and I am hoping for low 12's. If I can manage a 5K launch maybe even a 11.999, cross your fingers for me on this one.
