Hey ya gotta look at it this way...an 11.000000000000000001 is still better than an 11.000000000000000002, right?

Man Nick...that was Brutal

Bruce, your still closer than me right now (finally pulled mine off of the trailer to put the diff in tonight by the way). If I can figure out how to get traction...without snapping the ring and pinion again...I would help you out !! Hope to get back to the track in a couple weeks for some new slips (of the clutch and a time sheet)...lol.

GET BACK OUT THERE ZTURD !!

Well Nick you have sunk to a new low you SOB!!!!!!! LOL!

Just a FYI as Nick knows last nite I realized new Z06=fast, and Fartpipes H/C/I=slow!!!!
A friend purchased a 2006 Z06 all stock. 2nd gear roll from approx 45mph we were even till top of 3rd and then hit 4th i was approx .5-.75 car ahead to 125mph on a closed course. The 2nd race I slacked on the hit and we were dead even all the way till i missed 4th gear My buddy came out with a single turbo 6spd supra and his car runs 10.9's at 133mph and starting pulling about a car in 3rd gear from a 2nd roll and blew his transmission to pieces. So basically new Z06 bad **** and me 11.dohh PO....S!!!

Who's got the bottle? I need a equalizer! 444rwhp just ain't cutting the mustard here.
