Default almost in the 10's on street tire - how to post on fast list?




This is with the following mods:
- Halltech killer bee
- American Racing headers
- Tune
- Street tires (PS2)

I am just surprised these beasts run this fast right out of the box.

For the non-believers, TAILWAG was there in his blue Z...

That's not a ZR1. The top is not CF black and the rotors don't look ceramic. No badge either.

Very nice run. That is a good 60', but if you can improve on it then you will hit 10's for sure. Congrats

Launch it at about 3100 rpm then waited for it to hook and rolled on the throttle soft shifted 2nd so not to spin to much same in 3rd power shift 4th.

Now I just have to find some drag radials.
