:iagree: perfect example is the 60's muscle cars with skinny radial tires. Put better tires on them and times are much improved.

Stock LS3 08 Convertible, Centerville Raceway, AR, 1000 foot track, 102 MPH, 10.3 sec.

Took my 2008 MN6 out last night. I'm about a month in to driving a manual transmission car but I did manage to knock off a few 12 sec passes with the stock run flats. Best time of the night was a 12.7@114 with a 2.2 60'. Track conditions weren't the greatest but with more seat time I'll keep getting better and once I put drag radials on the times will only improve as I do.

That's pretty impressive!I KNOW I couldn't have rowed a stock LS3 car anywhere near the 12s a month after I learned to drive a stick. :lol:

Thanks bro. I have video of all the passes and the slips. I'll get them posted after I watch these playoff games. :cheers:

wow this post still goin?

This is impressive.

I admit I have never done an official 1/4 mile run.

When younger back in the sixties we did rolling start runs a lot.

I can appreciate the art of launch and speed shifting.

I do have lots of drive time in Big Rigs with 13 & 18 Speeds. No clutch requires precise rev matching and in the hills some speed too when shifting. Also lots of dead launches up hill with 80,000 lb. loads. This takes smoothness or something brakes real quick, like the driveline.


This gives me the experience to say. Good job!

I ran a 12.1 at 113 with ET Drag radials... '60 was a best of 2.0. Stock otherwise.... I thought it was decent. Car in an 08 MN6

Pretty good. I figure on street tires if I can get the 60' down to a 2.0 it should put me in the 12.5 range

Where are all those super fast dry sump Grand Sports? They should dominate the stock LS3 listings with their hidden horsepower and big tires. Only three times shown for GS, 12.3 to 12.8 for GS in their seperate chart.

Here we go again....................

:lurk:

I ran a 12.24 @ 171 , bone stock w/ run flats! :rock:

Cant imagine if I had some DRs! :rock:

Damn u trapped @ 171 ? 12.24 . you must have stopped and had a cigarette at the 1000'

For those who have coupes running sub 11.49's, I was just reading where NHRA has changed the rules. 2008 and later unaltered hard tops running 9.99 to 11.49 no longer need roll bars/cages.

Please don't revive old threads.
