told you the 10 bolt would survive! with that 60 i can see that it wasnt a question! MPH shows lots of room for improvement...sweet baseline.

oh, and congrats rob.

Thanks. I slowly kept raising my RPM so I didn't go into wheel hop. Theres ton of room for improvement. It was my first time out with the car, I am not used to it yet.

I'm a little surprised that you bolt on vette didnt do quite as well as j0n's bone stocker. Is that the driver mod?
DadsZ28
05-09-2008, 08:36 PM
Who's bone stock vette ran 12.40s.......what year? 6 spd. or auto?
BillFromTR
05-09-2008, 08:38 PM
j0n's 1999 auto bone stocker. That thing is sweet!
BillFromTR
05-09-2008, 08:49 PM
My bad....he's 12.6. For some reason I had 12.4 stuck in my head. Congrats JerseyTA.

j0n's vette is a 6 speed also.

and it was tuned, and on sticky tires
BillFromTR
05-09-2008, 09:07 PM
you's all is correct. Next time I'll check my facts before I post. For some reason I thought he was a bone stock auto.....ooops. Thanks for clearing this up guys.

12.40s....very impressive, sounds like he can drive, some of the 6 spd. cars can be sneaky fast, anyone know his 60 fts.....mph?

j0n was on a tire and a tune. I was on stock run flats with an intake and tune. 6 speeds do typically run .4-5 faster than an auto out of the box. Besides j0n ran that in 40 degree weather. It was 75 tuesday when I went to the track. My car's got 12.2-3s in it in that weather.

Exactley what I was thinking Rob that it had to be in the fall and that the 6 spds. can be faster, or that the car can be a freak. (since I know what that feels like, shamless plug ha ha). Given the same air and da i know your car will see 12.20s. I was just curious hearing about Jons car so thats why I added to the post. And Bill is that ask and shall receive suppose to be a clip....it didn't open?
