Talking New Best

My best pass:

8.58@79.42 1.86 sixty

That was on Kuhmos, 17 inch ZR1s on all four. The front sway bar was in. I think on skinnies, drag radials and no front sway bar I can crack a 13.1 in this 11 year old TA. I made 10 back to back passes, alls I can say is, great practice. I can actually say I know how to drove this car. All the suspension is 100% stock 93, including the Deadcarbons. Only mods are a Vigi 3200, MTI Cold Air and a SLP Loud Mouth. I'm very happy with it, I'm very happy I finaly learned how to drive a car. My goal is still a meak lil 12.50 with a full bolt on car. Good bit away, but I know I can get there with a bolt on LT1

Re: New Best

Its a good mod, I bought my converter used. Its worth the .5 off your time, do that, some 3.73s, skinnies and a set of Long Tube headers, you should be well in to the deep 12s in your Z28. You already have a tune, thats some thing I need, my car doesnt run cool at all.

Re: New Best

Nice times

any idea what thats is in a quarter mile?
I put down a 8.59 at 81.8mph with a 1.9 60ft, quarter was 13.33 at 103.7
DA was 3600ft


I am also going for low 12's all bolt on's

Good luck to all in the quest of a 12 second bolt on LT1
