Ran the Z last night...

[79CamaroDiva]

I wasnt going to, but couldnt resist.. had a hard time getting it to go anywhere off the line at first because of roughtly a 30-40º track temp (not proven, didnt chekc.. but there was ice in the pits) and terrible off brand tires.. i finally dropped the air in them and came up with a 13.43@105.73.. hows this compare with most ls1s? this is a bone stock 02 z, 6 speed, no lid or anything, flowmaster muffler is all it came with, which ive heard is actually restrictive?

slip:
60': 2.166
330: 5.789
1/8: 8.760
MPH: 83.37
1000: 11.292
1/4: 13.432
MPH: 105.73

nicejob

[BigAls87Z28]

Good stuff sis!! Now, lets start robbing banks so you can get the some LT's, a good exhaust, short throw, lid, get it tuned....
I think even with minor things, 12's wouldnt be that far off.

[Bandit]

Not bad times at all..

[Savage_Messiah]

crazy trap! nice

[baddest434]

very nice. a few bolt ons and 12's are right there

[Tru2Chevy]

12's are there with sticky tire and a touch more practice....

WERD ive witnessed 01 and 02 M6's pull 12.9s BONE STOCK

some guy (cant remember his name) pulled a 12.89 at atco or E town in a 99m6 camaro bone stock, stock tires it was in GMHTP magazine i believe


practice practice practice! youll know when youre really bangin the shifts when people ask if your car is an automatic, after losing to you in a race!

[GP99GT]

i dont know how you people can drive with those clutches...it was like stepping on a very soft pillow

[enRo]

I ran a 13.3 @ 105 bone stock, A4 tho :shrug: Good job tho

[Ian]

i dont know how you people can drive with those clutches...it was like stepping on a very soft pillow

try driving jakes car when its back up and running....his clutch is FAR from a soft pillow :lol:

[iamsickofitall]

i did 13.56 at 104 when i was stock

the flowmaster is still less restrictive than the stock exhaust, just not nearly as good as the other aftermarket mufflers

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

Clutches what clutches?? you don't need to use the clutch! especially when its not your car. :)

13.00 from the Hawk 2 weeks old.. A4

[qwikz28]

:w00t: nice runs dood! for comparison sake my car ran 13.2 at 109 with a lid/catback with alot of weight in the car. that was at atco 60'ing to a 2.20 and spinning the even numbered gears. i think you're car is running great and come a better track day you'll see those numbers drop. LS1 FTW!

[WayFast84]

un hook the sway bar and better tires, ur practically in the 12's

her clutch does not feel good at all. lol

i happen to like my cable clutch, it has a good feel to it, and i can bang the gears just as well as you can

no offense matt, but run has been around ls1 fbodies a little longer then you have, i think thats what hes alluding too. he can outdrive me anyday and i have no problem admitting that. it doesn't make me any less of a man. heck, i'm sure the majority of the people on this board could get better times out of my car then i can. but i don't mind. i enjoy doing what i can and having fun. melissa's car is a runner, thats for sure. i'm proud and happy for her and i can't wait till she hits the modding bug :twisted:

i really don't see how letting you drive/break someone else's car makes it any faster. lol
i woudl take a hydraulic clutch over any of the mechanical set ups. you can have a much stronger holding clutch without having to be a body builder to push the peddle down like in the old days. lol

i don tthink the modding bug is gonna hit with this car.. as tempting as it is to try and break it into the 12s, i want to keep it as stock and as nice as possible, even still.. the clutch took a beating and a half this weekend, i ended up running it on saturday too, just to stage it in the class i usually run my dragster in and get my first roudn points. the class break is 11.99, so thats what i had to dial in.. knowing i was a sitting duck, i just wanted to stage first round and be done.. by a twist of luck, the first guy i ran never lifted and broke out, so i was on to 2nd round, that guy red lit, so 3rd and final round it was.. i also made it to the final round in street, after 9 runs, 6 of which were round robin, i could smell the clutch horribly.. time to start using that warranty!!

i dont want any of the problems/rattles or expense that come with the modding bug, thats what i will have my 81 ls1 swap for after i make some payments and get myself situated financially.

thanks for all the props guys :)

[GP99GT]

please get a new clutch and shifter

[qwikz28]

if nothing else, at least a lid and some free mods please :)

[Batman]

I'd leave it alone Diva, too nice and too rare of a color to F it up. For the track i think when your clutch is shot get anice upgrade like a centerforce or something just a little better then stock, maybe some drag radials and do the drill mod on the clutch master just to fix the hydraulics. Apart from that' I'd leave it alone unless something breaks on it. That will get someone with your driving skills easily into the 12's. Hell Iw ent 12.899 in mine bone stock and I am not that good of a shifter so you won't have a problem.
