I'm tired so I'm not going to tell the best story. I'm happy w/ the results seeing as it was 95 degrees today and only cooled to 85 at night...
First, I accomplished two of my goals...
1. Wanted to run better than a 12.5 (ran a 12.37)
2. Wanted to get under a 2.0 60-ft (1.99 on the above run)
Here's my runs... I was super happy w/ the car, esp considering the weather.
1. 12.535 @ 115.79
2. 12.506 @ 116.31
3. 12.401 @ 116.25
4. 13.760 @ 77.55 (crazy run... more on this later)
5. 12.425 @ 114.38 (left AC on!)
6. 12.372 @ 115.82 (1st round of eliminations, I won)
7. 12.617 @ 115.81 (2nd round... I lost and the margin of victory was .0231 seconds!)
Apparently (I posted on this in Gen Disc. a week ago) I have a C6! People at the strip were trying to figure out how the hell I got a C6 early. One guy came up to me as was super impressed that a C6 could run 12.4's... had to explain that it was a Z06!
I felt pround representing Z06s/C5 tonight (I was the only one) People kept comming up asking if I was spraying or what I had done to the motor. Not much
just an air filter, headers, and catback. Very shocked people! I even had a kid and his dad come up to me telling me the were routing for me every run, father was stoked that he could hear me chirping the tires into fourth and the kid loved the car.
OK.... the crazy run. I had just run a 12.401 and came back to the staging lanes. Gee there was a beautiful GTS (black/silver) next to me. I egged him on, "I wanna piece of that!" He had been in line seeing me run a 12.4 (people were talking...) "That's no way near stock!" me, "Just a catback man" him, "Well I'm stock" me, "Dude you've got a V10". So we line up and he does no burnout at all. I did I nice smokey one to heat up the tires (have new one ready!) We staged and I launched at 2300 rpms. I smoked him off the tree and had him by a car through first. I nailed 2nd and put another 1/2 car. I was watching closely for him to start gaining, then I realized he wasn't. "where the hell did the viper go?" I glanced up in my rear view mirror only to see in horror that the GTS was spinning and
SLAMMED in to the wall. I felt sick to my stomach and let off the gas (ran that 13.7). My buddy taped it all and after watching it was a great thing I was ahead of him or I could have easily been cought up in it all.
People were in shock... My buddy is going to burn the vid for me and I'll post it as soon as I can ( a few days)
Back to my car... I'm confident I can drive the car to 11's w/ a 1.8 60-ft and some colder weather so I can trap 118+
:seeya
I can't wait to see the video. That was some night.
how many other vipers did you race and what was the outcome? how did you match up with the 2nd generation viper times(with similar mods)? how did you match up with the 3rd generation viper times(i know they are faster but how about bone stock ones?)? finally, im glad you werent the guy that crashed the vette on a viper day
