With that burnout I'm guess drag radials too. Stock tires don't do well with a burnout. I know, I just tried it last weekend. 9 runs and the ones with burnouts were far worse then the one without a burnout.

Yes it's a bad video, but it's still proof nonetheless.

I looked the DA up and it was -1615 at 38.5 degrees on that pass. What is the weight of an LS3 corvette? When i ran at Bowling Green KY. the car with me in it weighed 3950 with no weight reduction.

Here's a video of the car while at the track. You can the stock tires and the black crap from doing burnouts at the track.

I wasn't there so I can't say anything for a fact. But his 60' time is very common for guys running the stock Perellis.
I've also seen some pretty impressive burnouts on the stock tires. Why they do such a burnout on the stock tires I don't know. I do a short dry burnout (stay out of the water) and pull easy 1.9x 60' times on the stock Perellis.

As was said, when a :
A: Freak Car
B: Freak Driver
C: Freak Track
D: Freak AIR..

Get combined, you'll see unworldly passes. Thats really impressive, but something tells me its not as stock as is claimed.

If the Corvettes best is a 11.7x at 3250 lbs and roughly every 100 lbs is worth a tenth of a second. Well in therory that means a 12.4x could happen! A 12.61 wont be the record by the time this year is done.

I heard the same rumor last month and they never posted a time slip? Its hard to believe an auto car would run that fast but who knows.
