Waste of money?

At the track on saturday, a man showed up with a corvetter Z06, just got it back from ligenfelter the night before, they did the cam, heads, headers, and supercharged it, and on a set of slicks, he ran...... you guessed it a whopping 13.28 at 123 miles an hour.... any idea what coulda been wrong there? I find it funny that he had 477 RWHP but was only mustering 13.20 consitantly

It's all driver there. My friend pulls 12.20's stock on an 04 all day. With a 123 trap he must have had terrible traction snd 60 foot time.

Re: Waste of money?

the 123 trap tells you he has traction/driving problems

Re: Waste of money?

sounds like a guy locally here

got himself a lingenfelter vette and was running 13.6's @ 125mph

he was an old guy though just there to have fun not set any new ET records.

Re: Waste of money?

Like what was said, he either can't drive or he is having terrible traction problems, or maybe even both

What kind of tires was he running?

My wife ran a 13.19 @ 106.8 mph in our 2002 Z28 on stock tires and wheels and backed it up with a 13.3 @ 104.4 mph before the tech guys at Route 66 in Joliet stopped her because she was faster than 13.5 and no roll bar or 5 point harness.

You need a rollbar to run faster than 13.5

Re: Waste of money?

No,if you run 13.5 or less in a convertible you must have a roll bar. This is during bracket racing at Route 66 Racway in Joliet Il. During test and tune they'll let it slide
