Something special?
Hey guys, new here and somewhat new vette owner (June 05). I've seen a wide variety of E.T's for fairly stock cars with ranges of high 12's to even low 14's (kinda sad huh). I've got a White 99 Coupe with a 6 speed with 321rwhp. Mods include B&B bullets and a Mti ram air induction, nothing else. My first time to the track was as follows:
Indianapolis Raceway Park- Car And Driver 50th Anniversary-July05
Conditions were horrible, about 98 degrees with very high humidity
R/T:.056
60':2.185 -horrible i know, but a was spinning through 2nd everytime running some cheapo Kuhmo Estca All-seasons
1/8:8.459@87.26
1/4:12.888@110.97
2nd time to the track- Brainerd International Raceway-Oct05 (good ol MN)
Conditions were great about 45 degrees no other issues.
R/T:.019
60':1.719
1/8:7.980@88.87
1/4:12.462@112.90
My point/question to all this is do I have something special with this car?I know some cars just run better out of the box or Do I just know what I'm doing? Any input? I've taken down a few 02 or newer Z06's, 1 01 Z06, 2 C6's and other C5's dont even come close. (take into condsideration and that all were stock except the 01 had Corsa and a K&N-not bad eh?).

forgot to mention....best e.t i also missed 4th and and was completely off-throttle through the gates and however long you'd normally be in 4th (maybe a 12.2-12.3 was in order?).
