Took my 02' LS1 to the 1/8 mile Track Today
Today was my first time at the 1/8 mile track with my new Z28.
Only mods are a lid and 3" cut out. So I'm pretty much stock.
I spun out of the hole almost every time. My 245 street tires were horrible. I pretty much had to roll it out at half clutch to make a decent pass. I broke it loose going into 2nd almost every pass as well. So there is defiantly room for ET improvement with some traction.
One run I broke it loose twice in 1st and then half assed it to the finish line and ran an 11.60
I raced my buddy in his bone stock '07 GT all afternoon and ran around him every time. He always got me out of the hole but I would pass him once I got into 2nd. It is sick how these LS1 cars start flying in 2nd and 3rd gear. I ran TBSS as well and the result was much like the GT.
Anyway here are some of my better times.
60': 2.36
1/8 mile: 8.95
1/8 MPH: 83.0 mph
60': 2.34
1/8 mile: 8.89
1/8 MPH: 79.6 mph
Best Run
60': 2.13
1/8 mile: 8.59
1/8 MPH: 85.3mmph
My best I got it to hook a bit better for whatever reason.
Anyway I just thought I would share my first track times with the new Z.
