Default bolt-on 97 --11.939 @114.86 mph with 2:73 & 325 HP!


The slip on the bottom was (probably) my best ever; however, due to a "spider glitch" neither the 1/4 time or speed was printed on the slip .
The 1/8th time of 7.597 is .052 faster than my best recorded (7.649)1/8 mile on the top slip. All things being equal my real time was 11.887@115.?+mph.. Oh, well.



New BEST.. Gateway International Raceway 11-01-08
11.939 @ 114.86; 60' time was 1.717; 68 degree temperature.


The 1997 Arctic White coupe is a daily driver with bolt-on mods only.

The engine is the orginal factory-stock longblock; the valve covers, heads, balancer, oil pan and flywheel have never been off. The car was running the original wires until the MSD 8.5's were added with the NKG TR6 spark plugs on 8-16-08. The 2:73 geared differential is also original.

Intake mods include: Callaway CAI / LS6 intake.
Exhaust mods are: TTS LTs with a Corsa X-pipe; the stock mufflers have homemade cutouts for track use.
Other mods include: PI Vig 2800 TC; 160 stadt; and for drag days, M&H Race Masters on GTO spares for the front, and MT DRs on Z06 17" wheels for the rear.
