1000 miles is time to open it up! Had the C6 going down Redline at 501 miles and on the dyno at 1010 miles... lol

MidWest281 03-15-2013 12:34 AM

I am going to baby this one....

....my 2002 GT is now the one that is getting "beat on"....but that car still only has 66k miles.

GrabberMatt 03-15-2013 12:52 AM

What were other 5.0s running tonight?

MidWest281 03-15-2013 01:18 AM

8.4 seemed like a pretty consistant time for the 5.0s

MnemonicGhost 03-15-2013 02:10 AM

So that's helmet territory?

GrabberMatt 03-15-2013 07:54 AM

Helmet territory or Helmet_Club territory? :bigbird:

Pepperinyoureye 03-15-2013 08:10 AM

I ran 8.4 @87 mph. Pretty much a stock car though. I had a great time and I'll probably try to make the next one.

Midnight11 03-15-2013 08:34 AM

8.4 at 91 my suspension sucks for drag lol

Bearded Banger 03-15-2013 08:39 AM

North Star tonight?
 
8.4 at 91 is improvement. Dial your suspension in and seat time will get you faster.

BLK2012GT 03-15-2013 10:46 AM

And some drag radials.

I don't know why you keep getting go fast parts. Stop being lazy and get the adjustment tool for your coilovers so you can soften them up. If you turn the rebound and stiffness down in the rears, you will be able to squat and hook much better than trying to catch traction with a spring board.

I promise if you dial your suspension in and get more seat time/passes, you will start cutting high 7s.

Midnight11 03-15-2013 11:47 AM

I don't need a tool I'm just lazy

JDBishopArts 03-15-2013 12:01 PM

And you can take a nap between 1 and 2. lol Get the 1-2 shift down and you'll knock another .1 - .2 off. There is a big gap. I should have recorded it so you could have seen and heard it. The nose would drop big time.

My first run was a 8.5 with a 2.1 60ft but at 90MPH. I never got above 88 after that. I'm curious to see if the gun was off on that run.

My best was an 8.33 with a 2.0 60ft at 88 MPH. Stock motor with almost warn out INVO's on the rear.

^ What he said. With the mods you have you should easily be in the 7's. And if you plan on going to the track on a regular basis you can find a set of rear tires/wheels pretty cheap.

Were you spinning worse on the first run, that would explain your MPH. My car stock went 8.43 at 88 but it's an auto so your best would be consistent with a stick and a lot of times I've seen from others. It shouldn't get any slower than a stock auto w/3.15's other than driver error.

Hope to see you guys at the track sometime, my best is an 8.07, looking to be in the 6's next time I'm home!

Midnight11 03-15-2013 12:39 PM

Yea I want tires... Anyone want to go in on a set haha
