Im going.. anyone else going?

Lets line them up!

 

Hey man,

I didn't see this message until this morning, but I saw your car out there .

Did you see a pewter fixed roof coupe C5 and a black C5 Z06 parked together? That was board member "Jim S. '95 Z28" and myself.

How'd you run?

this is off subject...but 96speed...i dont know if you reaised it but the parts i bought from you went on jims car.....im the one who bought it..

 

it was very hot and humid.. my best run was 13.3@106.. that totally bit.. I had fun. My girl got to try it and made 4 passes. I did 5. We had fun which was what was important.

I couldnt get any traction with all the damn trucks doing burnouts and tearing up the track..

 

Was that a 2.1ish 60'?

I haven't been out in my C5 until this weekend. I have to say, I was impressed with the traction - not sure if it was the car or the track, but by what you're saying, I'm going to assume it can be attributed to the car.

Jim S. has a really nifty gadget that tells temp/humidity/DA/correction factor among other things. Really neato . The DA was around 2900 at 94 degrees and around 40% humidity. Yeah, we were sweating our ***** off!

I'm glad they are showing times now (*as an option)

2.192 60' - 13.366@106.94
That was without running rpms up.. when I tried just a 2500 rpm launch.. not even a full drop. just easing into it.. I would get nothing but spin..
One such run was me spinning almost all of 1st. 2.4 60' - 14.444@104.23 <-- 104! haha sad..

Thanks for the weather info. I knew it was bad, just didnt know how bad. HAHHA

Yeah.. I miss Wednesdays for racing.. prefered that over all.

What were you running? or if you dont like to tell, what ball park?

 

No, I am not a street racer or anything .

Best was 12.97 @ 112 2.13 60' and most runs were 13.0 @ 111.xx 2.2x 60'. The car is an '01 Z06 w/ MTI induction. Weight w/o my lard butt was 3090 . I ran 10 times and still couldn't get myself to get more aggressive with the launch. Got to go back and practice!

Mine weighed in at 3600 with me in there.. 3405 without. I had 3/4 tank of gas.. I normally run with a full tank but didnt top off since the Mobil is no longer there.. Its now a Texaco.. Grrrr..

 

Thats a decent MPH for a bone stock car at that weight, especially in the heat. No lid or anything?

 

nothing.. down to an AC Delco paper filter (3rd one on since new.. I replace them every 30-40K miles..)
Tires are Yokohama AVS ES100's.. street tires..
The car was just built fairly well.. it doesnt look good with all the beatings its taken. .but pfft.. I dont care. .as long as it runs..
