ran my car friday

1st time in probably 3 years....added probably 300 lbs of sound deadener and stereo, and leather wrapped allot of the interior parts since.

ran it on 20 inch wheels with 305/25/20 conti sport's

managed a 1.84 60 foot and ran a 12.37 @ 113.5 which was kinda suprising considering everything.

best on drag radials before weight addition was 11.84 @ 115, so i guess if i put a set on again and had some good air, it would run in the 11's again.

not too bad for an old bolt on C5....

mods:
yank SY 3500
3.42 gears
WCC Hurricane intake
Kooks 1 3/4 headers and off road x-pipe
corsa touring
electic water pump
computer tune

nice run, pretty good 60' seeing as how you have a converter and 20" street tires. All that weight in the back must have helped the traction issues. None the less this was at capitol not too shabby at all.

I used to get funny comments from tech before i started going regularly with the vette. Never used to get checked for anything till it started running deep into the 11s.
