Hey guys!! Okay no vids b/c I forgot my camera, not to mention we didn't even get to go against each other. It was a horrible day at the track for everyone that went, the track just wasn't prepped properly. The best I could do in my car was a 13.9 which obviously is bad b/c I beat that stock. I let my buddy Jamie drive and the best he could get was 13.6 at 102. Josh's car ran a 13.2 and when Jamie drove it she went 12.9 at 113 I believe. So ya last night was def. a bust guys sorry to build it up but nobody at the track was doing anything impressive. Not to mention we got rained out 2 hours into the track while I was in the staging lane going for another pass. So hopefully while I am home we can get this going again. Thanks for checking in.

Yep neither did what they were supposed to do, the camaro is faster though. Ryan will just hace to get some seat time in the Z I think itll run high 12s. I got a 13.6 out of the z @ 102 but track prep was horrible and it had a 2.3 60 foot. I got one pass in the SS and it ran a 12.9@114 2.25 60' but I left the t/c on DOH! All in all we gad a good time and the z will be out next week with d/r's

I love my 114 trapping car! Good time Ryan! You'll get it faster with seat time.

Nice trap, DTH. :tup:

DTHPROOF 09-17-2011 11:18 AM

Thanks! That's going through the traps in 3rd. I shift at 6200rpm but my limiter is set at 6900 so it's just a matter of staying in third. I hope it goes 116 with better air.

Very good!

I have always appreciated the LS1s. My first performance car was one of the 260hp 4.6L V8 Mustangs... I had that thing geared to hell (4.10s) with full bolt ons; I could hang with you LS1 guys through the first couple of gears but by the time you'd hit 3rd it was over. Nothing was more intimidating for me than seeing an SS or WS6 in my rear view mirror. When I got my Z i'd still get a chill when I saw one... and even with the 5.0 I just assume that any LS1 left on the road is probably modded to hell. :bowrofl:

I know the race is for fun, so please take my prediction as also in fun.

After listening to the camaro, & watching him drive & excelerate, & reading how you're not sure of yourself/needing practice driving, my prediction(sorry)is, he'll beat you by 5/6 car lenghts. :stirthepot:

sorry.....

With your own driving, or with Jamie driving, it was a difference of 7/10s. One car lenght =1/10, 7/10=7 car lenghts.
I was pretty close, no?:)

Thanks man. :tiphat: Mine definitely isn't modded like most, lol. Truly just LT headers, small cam, and a tune. Thanks again!

I believe the OP wants a rematch.

V8Killer 09-21-2011 04:14 PM

Josh how is it a rematch when we didn't even run? LOL

DTHPROOF 09-21-2011 08:14 PM

Want to make a collage of timeslips? lol

V8Killer 09-22-2011 09:48 AM

Ya we could just make sure you take out the ones Jamie did and that will be cool.

I think you all should just put on some boxing gloves and go at it and not speak through the cars :tup: I LOVE boxing

They'd still be faster, lol. I drove my black car to a 13.2 @108 with garbage 2.2 60' times 4 consecutive runs. This car is no different, just a lot more on the deep end. And no boxing here, I got nothin' but love for the man; plus, he'd beat my ***!:tiphat:
