Smile New times for the 91 RS!

My best motor pass was a 13.4@104 and my best N20(100 shot) pass was a 12.9@112.

BFG Radial T/As(245-45-16) gave me some 2.15 60's. That is the best 60' I have gotten so far with my car.

The car would have gone quicker but my stock clutch is quitting. One pass was a 14flat@110 with a 3.0 60'

Well, a new clutch is in the works I guess.

Pix of my rides!
Finally have some pictures of Y2k Vette wheels, motor, etc.

I have a stock 96 LT1/M6 with SLP headers and 3" exhaust. Also, a Moroso CAI.

The times were slower and the mph was down 2-3 mph because of the temp(85degrees and 100% humidity). I was looking for a 106mph trap speed but didn't get it. My car usually runs 84-85 in the 1/8. Also the clutch may have caused some reduction although it held good on the motor passes.

I had a 3" cowl and my Vette wheels on but decided to go sleeper last night with the stock hood and wheels. It was fun. I remember when it ran 10.3s in the 1/8 and it is a totally different feeling to actually get to the finish line before the 5.0s. My buddy who was there watched this one guy that raced me get out of his car very mad. That was after the second time I beat him

There are some pictures in the sig. Follow the link to see them.

Later, Mike

Hey thanks man. The pictures don't do the wheels any justice. It looks a lot better in person. The car has a long way to go but at least I have started on it.

Thanks again, Mike.

I have to agree with Guido, hell of a nice ride man! Those wheels look sweet on your ride! I always wanted to try vette wheels on my ride.
