Turbotrio Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Went down to KilKare last night with the Black SC Z06 since Chris was back in town for a few days. First pass he went 9.80 @ 140 and then 10.1 @ 141 off spray and then two passes on spray he had to lift on -- one due to the car getting away from him and the other he blew off an intercooler pipe. We were hoping he would be able to run out a spray pass to get into the low low 9s (And 150mph range) but it just wasn't hooking up for him at all last night. His 60-fts were much better back in March (Also at Kilkare) but he had a good time and it still ran a 9 right out of the gate. Nice thing was our client with the Procharged Camaro broke the driveshaft again on his second pass (First was a 12.0 @ 119 with the traction control on) so since Chris' car was fine he drove the Z06 home and we trailered the Camaro back to the shop instead. He said it averaged 22mph driving home and it feels like he could have driven it back to TX if he wanted to lol. Nice seeing many of you out Jeff PS -- Any stories about street racing on the way home are 100% fictional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow he averaged 22mph on the way home? What'd that take him 4 hours? lol Also my buddy said he saw my old vette there n took a pic for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vette drove home, Camaro had to get a lift lol. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is putting the FAST intake back on it and calling it a day or so he says. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hows the TB SS doin? He hasn't had any time to look at it today so probably won't know anything until the weekend.

He should know by now how much power those vettes make with a hair dryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should know by now how much power those vettes make with a hair dryer. I have tried and he just loves the current blower/spray set-up on the street. He wants us to do a custom water-to-air intercooler system next with a rear spindle kit to sport a set of 15" slicks. That should cover the traction issues lol. For top-speed mode we are going to put a built 6-speed with a triple-disc clutch in to see if she can't go 230+ next year Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I was thinking of Peanuts truck when I made that post. Tell Planters boy to get the biggest turbo that he can fit on that TBSS. We saw one at the Shoot-out that was identical to his (Color / Wheels / Etc) but had a big single sticking through the bumper. Guy said it ran 9.80s but we never watched it make a pass so who knows. That would be a bit much for a daily driver as I doubt he has any thoughts of making his TBSS an all-out drag project.
