I now weigh 170 as I also put myself on a 5 day diet and lost 3 lbs. Both previous times I went with more than 3/4 tank of gas, this time I had less than 1/4 tank. Did a 13.066@108.23 and a 13.078@109.32 on a 54 degree day. I drove a 2014 Corvette on Friday that felt alot faster than my car. But in the November issue of Car&Driver or Motor Trend it said the new Vette does the 1/4 in 12.5@116 so my Z is only a half second slower for half the price. |
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed.
Have you thought about helium balloons attached to your car? Maybe 50-60 really big ones? You could really lighten your load and maybe run mid 12s. Don't put them all in the back or you'll never get it to hook-up.
Target has Hello Kitty mylar balloons on sale; would be a nice accent going down the track. Nutin says MEEEEEOOOOW!!! like Hello Kitty balloons.
