First 1/4 mile in the Z!
 
Well it was the first time ever racing in the 1/4 mile for myself and the Z. My first attempt was quite sad. I sat thier hovering at the line for a few seconds before i finally cought traction. Second run the launch felt good but i missed second gear. Final run of the night everything thing seemed to line up and i got my best time of 13.7 @ 105.7

Had a blast out at pacific raceways! Next, install of my LSD, tune and gears! And im going to shoot for high 12s! I think ill put my 18s on as well next time :tup:

Side note, left lane on my first run as a C6 Vette and he had a decent run at 13.5. So im feeling pretty good about putting a time down close to the vettes, even a higher trap!

I hope you do realize the C6 is a lot faster, you kept up due to a bad driver. It doesn't have to do with your car at all...

i hate to rain on the OP's parade but cossie is right.

completely agree.. On that note i consider myself a bad driver. Im pretty sure i can still improve my times. Was only my first time out :tup:

Also i have heard rumors that PR is hard to get good times at.. But who knows.
