HOW MANY OF YOU WILL ACTUALLY DRAG RACE YOUR CAR - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've gone several times but the stock F1s aren't that good for drag racing.

Modern07 · 09-03-2013, 08:31 AM

Had it to the track in Stock form several times already, and will be going back to test out my new mods as soon as the weather plays nice!

I've been to the local 8th mile a bunch of times. Made probably close to 100 passes. Just a social thing, a bunch of us make the 25 minute drive on Thursdays to hang out.

I've been at the drag strip.

jessrayo · 09-03-2013, 12:04 PM

If I ever get a set of rims to mount my drag radials.... I'm hoping to put up the top time for a manual trans. My best on stock tires is 12.08....no traction. I'm going to run on road racing tires this Friday to try hit the 11's and try my new line-lock and clutch.

AquaSSRS · 09-03-2013, 04:41 PM

I am going with the z for the first time on the 20th. Been a busy summer and my second child was born. Otherwise I would have been there already. I ran my SS several times and will be using the same DRs. Hoping for 11s. I will post up my times once I go. Oh and I am doing some road course time in November at a HPDE event at NJMP.

AquaSSRS · 09-03-2013, 04:44 PM

Just noticed I am still on the list for LS3 with bolt ons. I thought I would have been bumped by now, down to number 29, so it will happen soon.

AZ-ZL1 · 09-03-2013, 05:48 PM

Just waiting for the strip to reopen in Phoenix. Can't wait but got get off my @ss and order my replica wheels and DR's.

Once it gets a little cooler here in the DFW area, I'll be at the track as much as I can. I have two 1/4 mile tracks and an 1/8 mile track within 45 minutes of me.
And if I can keep myself from spending a bunch of money, I'll be datalogging and getting all I can out of the car bone stock....
Then with stock tune friendly mods....
Then finding out what bolt-ons it takes to get consistently into the 10's.

I also plan on turning corners in this thing too, since that's what it was actually built for.

Would be impressed for a bolt on only 10 sec pass!

looks like you have a wheel spin problem. if you figure your wasting a good .4 sec in the 60' you should be seeing 12.7-12.8 in the 1/4 with a solid 1.9 60' . its possible, I ran a 1.99 60' with my stock 2010 SS tires with mild bolt ons and a tune. these 305's should get you there with an easy launch

I sure hope you guys who say you can make your cars 10 second ones with bolt on parts please post up what you installed on them and the time slips so we all can see.

What he said,

Plus the pics with installed roll cages as per NHRA rules. (<13.5 sec for verts and <11.5 for hard tops).

I finally passed break in and got 3 runs in on a crowded day. Totally stock and didn't heat the tires as these runs we're test and tunes to learn how the car performs under its various modes.
