I told you on s197 I was going to be there. Seems you are full of excuses. Not sure why. My car is far from gutted. As kdanner said, it has the passenger seat removed, rear seats removed, and trunk liners removed. Maybe ~65lbs. tops from that. The car is NHRA legal down to 10.00 which means all that equipment only adds weight to the car. It still has A/C, stereo, and is very streetable. Not anything close to being a race car.

Now we hear your car weighs 4,000+lbs. without any heavy superchargers, turbo kits, etc. It must be the heaviest non-power adder s197 on the planet. I would be horribly disappointed with the times and trap speeds your car ran based on the dyno numbers. This is why you shouldn't get wrapped up in racing dyno's. The track is what counts.

Thanks man! Enjoyed meeting and chatting with everyone. Now we aren't so bad in person are we? :P

Onto the track conditions.....this was my first time back to the Motorplex in 13 years. The facilities were in every bit as good of shape as they were in the late '90's and only second to Houston Raceway Park IMO. The track was fantastic all night. I never had a traction issue. The car hooked and was straight as an arrow down the entire track. I was highly impressed and will be back to run more. It's a long haul but worth it.

On the times.....I made quite a few changes to the car in the past few months and our goal was to work on the tune and any other issues we ran into. The car ran great in crappy air and it showed great potential for when the weather starts to cool in a couple of months.

Since last November, this car has run 10's every time it has been out in varying conditions. It has run 10's at every major track in Texas. I am super excited about that. No other street legal N/A stock long block car has done that.

You got me confuse with someone else cause you never told me shit on s197 about you being anywhere. And I think anyone can drive an auto down a track. How hard is it to push just a peddle? Usually people who get autos can't drive a stick. But enjoy your chick tranny. And never said my car was 4k plus. Said it was 3873 with everything in it and 4k with me in it. So learn how to read.

I don't think so....

Driving a stick.....I suppose I didn't do that in my 2011.....


Anywho, get some tires on the car and hit the track again. No reason a 500WHP 2011+ 5.0 car should run 12's.

Were you on slicks? Cause I wasn't. I even had the shop owner drive my car last night and he went 11.8 at 119 but only a 1.9 60ft. That was my first time down the track with that car since it got finish, and first time I went down in over ten years. I wasn't expecting much until I get better tires and slicks.

That car hasn't had a slick on it in well over a year.

I got it right.

My '11 had ET Streets on it. That car never made a pass on a full slick. As you can hear in the video traction was terrible with those tires. Even at that it ran 11.6 in 2'500' of air and dyno'd 432whp. No reason for your 500+whp car to be running 12's.

Less talk, more production.
