Probably can pull out a 11.4 with lower tire pressure

Yeah, with 123mph traps, you can definitely run low, low-11s with enough traction.

I just laugh at some of the completely moronic comments on the vid page. "Yeah, its fast, but a ZR-1..." who, the heck cares? Do people think that you or I or anyone with a fast car doesn't know what a ZR1 or some other car runs?

It is what it is... a very mildly modded, 3950lb 2+2 performance car running mid-11s on street tires. That's impressive. Great job. Tell the ricers to try that with a 4-banger and a fart-can exhaust.

Nice times.

I pretty much have the same mods and run the same times.

I also think that I can pull off an 11.4. I reved the car to 3000 and slipped the clutch to launch it! I had a 1.80 60ft 11.66@121.30mph

croz98gt,

That was at National Trails right? I live literally, 5 miles from the track in Granville. I'm waiting on my Black/Red coupe to be in shortly. Are you from the area?
