A few months ago, WS6JJP said he had run
12.41 @ 113 mph with a 60ft time of 1.83s.

Given my own abysmal experiences at the track,
that 60ft time is astounding. Don't know what tires
he was on.

i doubt that im the fastest one but here are my best 2 runs. These were with the car completely stock EXCEPT for the Corsa catback (which im sure gave me all of about 5 hp if that)...also there was a decent headwind that day so my times *couldve*, maybe been better....???? (also explains low trap speed)

Can you remember what you did to get such a great 60ft
time? Obviously I'm just a hack but I can't get mine below
2.1s.

im no "expert" at drag racing but im definitely a good driver and have probably a 2 inch stack of timeslips, almost all from Norwalk Raceway so i know that track very well. It has to be one of the best prepped tracks ive seen, so thats part of the secret. The rest is in just getting used to and knowing your car and how it reacts. I know that sounds stupid and if you were in the car with me and watched you probably just think to yourself " This joker's just riding the dog **** out of the clutch!! "

Just curious as to how many time you were able to repeat that, that is if you had the chance. What were your other runs as well? I'm just curious as to what your 60-ft and 1/8th times were as well for that run.

Temp 69, humidity 56%, elevation 300 approx (whatever Atco, NJ is) and no wind. 614 miles on bone stock. Lowered air in rear tires to 25 lbs and running cold. Lined up to a nice sticky patch freshly laid by a pro streeter just prior to me. Droped the clutch at close to 3500 rpms.
1.879 (60'); 12.422 (1/4 mile)113.9 mph. I've had years of practice with my '94 LT1 Formula. BTW, I do lose 3 to 4 tenths when running hot. Forget any good starts without a good line-up on a sweet spot!

Here are the runs - top line is 60', ET on second line, MPH on third. As you can see, my ET's were directly related to my 60' time. The last run I lost a lot of trap speed - can't really explain it except that the car was pretty hot, and I was in a different lane and running next to a pro street car of some sort and I actually think I may have not hit fourth gear very well. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I don't put my 1/8 times on my spread sheet, but on my best run it was 8.15 at 89.95

2.035 2.032 1.955 2.026 1.943
12.632 12.618 12.499 12.629 12.561
114.3 114.66 114.88 114.41 112.73

Great times and impressive 60-ft times.

Looks like some excellent times, you guys look to be good drivers. When the weather cools off a little I will take my Z51 six speed out to the track and see what she will do. My 02 Z28 six speed went 8.41 in the 1/8 completely stock except for a k&n on a 2.03 60'. The vette feels much stronger, hopefully I will be able to match some of the times listed here.

My STOCK automatic Z51 ran 12.5s @ 112-113 with 100 mile on odometer. Same thing a couple weeks later.

#91 with 100 miles #111 less than 500 miles.

stock automatic at 113??? That seems hard to believe.Do you have a time slip.I would like to see how you got an auto to get that much top end stock.

These slips all say 111 or less mph. Not trying to be
nit picky, just precise. 111 mph puts your C6 at the
high end of the C6 auto distribution but 113 mph would
make you the fastest stock C6 auto I've ever heard of.

Didn't keep the high MPH. Only quickest ET. I may have spun my tires, which will cause a higher MPH.
