Went to Byron Dragway to watch Speedinc and Z8s car and a bunch of others run. I also brought my car to get some more baseline numbers b4 the real mods start this winter.
My car has a catback and a couple suspension mods and on Nitto DRs with a half tank
It ran a new best of
60 1.971
330ft 5.589
1/8 8.575
MPH 82.13
1000ft 11.148
1/4 13.324
MPH 103.05
:metal:

Not to shabby for catback only! Only .325 away from 12s
Now Im thinking Maybe go back one more time pull the rear seats & fold down, the rear hatch thing, all the floor mats,pull the front swaybar, STB,descreen the Mass air,TB bypass and only 1/4 tank and leave alittle harder and try for 12s. Should only get cooler out side as well so that should help. Think I can do it?

That is REALLY moving for just a cat-back. Quite impressive actually. Sure there's not an LS1 swap there?

i may have missed it but is your car an M6 your mph suggests that?
real nice times you have gotten,your altitude and DA must be awesome!

Its a M6, temp was in the upper 50s not sure on the DA and Im pretty sure the track is like 815 Above sea level. If the track stayed open untill 9-10 lastnight im sure a 13.1 or 13.2 would have been possible with the dropping temps.
