So finally 11's with bolt on's I was really excited and was not doing any more mods until i did.
Thanks to the forum and all the guys who posted there track advice and experience as it greatly helped me get here. Also thanks to pit for last minute advice and thanks for posting pics on the pony wars thread

 

Congrats! I need to get back out there really effin badly.

 

Congrats.




Yes you do dude, there is an 11.6x (11.5x?) second time slip out there somewhere just waiting for you to pick it up.

 

First gotta put the catted x on and get it inspected... expired in November

 

Way to go Cody, that was some good driving !

Pitt

 

Great feeling to break a barrier. Congrats.

 

115mph with a LS1 with only intake and exhaust is moving..


Congrats.

 

Congrats! You should post up on the C5 fast list.

 

congrats.... keep at it and have fun!!!!!!!

 

Thanks the tune by MTI racing really picked up on my mph, and it was fun, thanks guys. Now the real work begins i was have been thinking about some other mods but may just shave some more weight and work on my short time and shifting a bit more.

 

Congrats on the 11's. I hope to join you soon with by bolt-on car. You running the LS1 or LS6 intake?

 

ls6 intake, you will! seat time and advice from the forum is how i got there, its a great feeling to set a goal and drive it there.

 

Yeah I think I am one 1.7 launch away from it... we'll see if I can slip this stupid spec twin clutch tho.

 

It can be slipped...go out there and learn the clutch release/release point and work from there...be VERY smooth on the left foot and modulate the gas...dont let it bog or itll kill your 60ft...I did this last time out and found mine to be very slippable (PT Trim Twin) just gotta find that happy spot. The first 3 passes I made were at 3500 and the 60 kept getting better as I kept working with it...pass 4 i upped it to 4000 with the same technique and i pulled a 1.63 on my 10.93 at 128 pass HCI C5Z all of the lauches were super smooth/nothing violent like my first time out when i went out there ***** to the wall on my first 2 passes and sure enough it was so violent i broke my trans and diff on my 3rd pass

 

Congrats! Just curious what rpm you launched at and was this with skinnies, also do you know the DA?

 

We were going to bolt on my Skinny's, but they kept him at near hot lapping speed playing the elimination games, so we couldn't slap them on in time !

Pitt

 

Congrats!!

Sure is fun to brack into the 11's with a stick car.

For the longest time, Jon was the only m6 bolt-on guy there. Seems a few have joined him now.

 

As pit said that was without skinnies we were gonna try but there wasnt near enough time between passses I am running zr1 wheels out back with mt et street radials and chrome wagons up front so i am gonna try and buy some gto spares again. I had a set lined up a couple months back but had to back out. I am not sure on the DA, i know it was around 45-50 degrees and the humidity was 70 % at 10.30 am the track and its 242 feet above sea level

 

Thanks, it is i was thinking about switching to an auto but banging gears is too much fun. Jon and the few others helped with their info on launching techniques.
I launched around 4 grand with a quick release on the clutch and quick push on the go pedal. The launch felt relatively soft and non violent, i was surprised to see the 1.6x times, Thanks to all the tips

 

skinnies would have been an easy tenth to tenth and a half...so on the same launch/run possibly high 11.70's - low 11.80s
