Throw some 275s on your car and they will be for sure.

The 7.0 class is fun. There are street cars and race cars there. The class is pretty tuff. Those guys are on their time every time and have good reaction times.
There were only 2 street cars left after the first round this weekend and we're both regulars. The other car is an 08 gt500 with a stick. He always goes a few rounds and has won it before. Excellent driver. I went 4 rounds, which i was real happy about and lost to the guy that won the event. My times were 7.02 6.999 7.004 and 6.97. I got treed on the last one and was having to play catch up. The 6.999 pass was a double breakout and obviously i broke out less.
It's all about getting your car to run a 7.0 and then you just being on your reaction time and driving game.

Sounds like fun to me. I like that it takes the big money players out of it too. No electronic aids either, correct?

Correct. No transbrakes, throttle stops, 2 steps.

Racing sounds fantastic, but after reading a lot aboit cars like mine with similar motors, i think my car will be wayyyyy too fast for the class. And a stick car where i have to hit the brakes at 600 feet is going to be impossible to judge and be consistent. Id be better off in the c6 with a converter and headers. Itd run 7.0s like clockwork. Lol
Im way ahead of myself as the car isnt running, but just thinking outloud about it. Class racing is fun as hell, just hope i can partake soon.
