This is the third time I went to the track since I got the car 3 months ago and from my first race to this day I dropped almost a second.
My new best is 12.981@109.87 with crappy 2.071 60' due to my $56 Kumhos on the back. All car has is intake and exhaust. Stock weight and everything.
I'm very pleased with the results and knowing that this car is capable of being in 12s so easily :)

2000 Z28 powered by LS1 mated to t56, 6-speed tranny. LS1 is the same engine they were putting on regular vettes until 2005, my camaro is rated at 305hp at the flywheel, but in reality it's underrated for insurance purposes and produces 340-345hp at the flywheel :)
I got my tires from www.tirerack.com I think there even cheaper ones when I was buying them. I did have to pay $8 for shipping and $10-12 for installation and balancing.
Cypher, I'm probably gonna go one more time before the end of the season. I'll try to put my front tires on the back and see if they are any better.

Yup, GM did a very good job underrating those cars :) T/As have the same engine and tranny, just look a little different and weigh just a little bit more :)
