PRE-Z06

I picked this 2000 up for running in B-stock SCCA autocross class and took it to TNT as I was curious what it'd do. Was just looking for a 12 sec slip, but it did that the first pass on a 2.2 60' and no cool down. 2nd pass was a 12.6@112 on a 2.0 hitting the limiter hard before the traps. Was blown away at how deep into the 12s it ended up going with only a K&N drop in filter and the mufflers deleted (as that's all that is allowed) on a mild 3500rpm launch. I pulled the passenger seat out as it's easier to haul the drag pack I swap on there, but car was surprisingly light at 2950lbs with the reserve light just coming on. 130k mile LS1 had 15w50 in it along with 85w140 in the diff for the road course, so probably left some ET on the table there. The right lane was a bolt on gen2 coyote Mustang GT, also ran a bolt gen 6 camaro 1LE that went 12.1@118 for reference. For 18 years old the C5 still does alright, a vararam and tune to raise the limiter to keep from having to shift to 4th right at the traps would probably have it knocking on 11s in a little better air.

nice run!

You still got it after all these years.

C5 Pete

Holy crap you’re back!

Nicely done sir. As Gary said, you still got it.

That must be one of the fastest FRC LS1 Corvette "almost" stock 1/4 mile passes ever recorded.

I have a 2000 FRC, no tune, headers, Vararam... 12.52 @ 113.5

Audibly, from the video... my car sounds ALOT faster in the 1st and second gears than your car.... but i have to say your 3rd and 4th gear acceleration rate sounds quicker than mine........ ??? unusual

C5 Pete

The OP has a lot of seat time and knows what it takes to get a corvette down the track.

pit-man

He should be too old by now to remember the gear pattern...lol

Good to see you back !!!

Sorry I don't venture on here as much as used to as others who've been around know I'm not a stranger to making passes at the dragstrip though have gotten back into autocrossing and instructing at the road course later. I shared the results as I was impressed as well, what was the DA when you went 12.5@113.5 and what tires were you running?

holley505

Well... that's faster than my 2000 FRC... and it has mild cam and headers. Must be the Driver MOD... but I have only cut 2.0 60ft as my best also... your MPH is a lot higher also.

This is very damn impressive. I also have a 2000 FRC, with LT headers, magnaflow exhaust, deleted pup cats, ziptie mod in intake and an LS6 intake manifold, no tune. But I have a cam I will be installing along with a valavspring kit and hardened pushrods. Then a tune. I'm hoping to break into the 11's. Remember, the 2000 corvettes had a little bigger cam that year than all the others(except z06).

That is a quick time for basically stock C5

edram454

very fast for such little work done to it. 319 rwhp and 12:44 is excellent.

daggum! nice
best i could pull when mine was stock was a 13.29 @ 109... granted that was my 2nd-ever time at a dragstrip, and i was still on worn-out all-season run flats
