PB... 11.77@ 124 mph
First time using nitrous, 100 shot, ran 11.77 124mph , and 11.80 125mph and a few 12.00s. Was running 12.5 at around 111 mph, n/a, with crappy 2.0 0-60s. Still getting the crappy 0-60s, mostly in the 1.9/2.0, but damn, the car MOVES!!! 
Currently running Nitto d/r on stock 18s, still cannot get 1st gear to stick without a lower rpm launch. Will work it some more... Any ideas what time i should be running with that trap speed?

Have fun with the nitrous!
Get better tires and you'll see better ETs.
Low 11s at least.

Yes, i was there till around 4:30... not many cars there, but lots of Vettes were there through the day...
I will tell you what, there was a dude in a new 5.0 black stang running low 12s. He said that it was mostly stock, with a tune, cat back and CAI... I did not realize they were that quick!!!

my main reason for not going with some better d/r's is keeping my rear-end 
intact. I fear that better grip = dead rear. Other than tires, I just need to work on me being a better driver
