Phunk was a big part of that IIRC. It's all about getting that extra power to the ground. Not difficult. Just takes time and effort to figure out the limiting factors. Then add money and parts

They were right around the low 10s several years ago I believe.

Color me impressed. Damn... I gave up my Z cuz I couldn't see myself putting $30k in mods for an 11 second car. But it's awesome that the Z was finally figured out!!! Makes me happy! And knowing it was done without a 4.2 stroke kit makes me ecstatic!!! Good shyt!!!

Joby and my best friend Brian have been wanting me to take mine to the drag strip. Maybe one day. I am just not a big drag racing kind of guy.

It's great for shyts n giggles. A good day out. It doesnt even have to be about track times.
Enjoy your car.
