Great air, low ambient, sticky track...and, truly, a "hero run"...and a launch the Factory 285-tired 500 probably won't match...which doesn't mean the Camaro can't/won't...

Now, if Evans reported such a launch in the Stang, SVT-Nation wouldn't leave a microphone unhooked, tellin' the world...would they? Yet, there hasn't been an infestation of Comrades attacking SVT-Nation sites and spreading this, has there? ALL the news comes from your butt-hurt buddies whinin' 'n snivelin' 'bout it...

Thanks for the opportunity to chart you and yours on a proper course...
You're a funny guy

Good Work!
so 0.151 is not a big difference in 60ft times? I bet if I could knock off another 0.151 from my 60' I'd be running high 10's instead of low 11's.

I agree with the good work part at least.

Now that DA is better the times are coming down and pretty much validates the OP in this thread. Not saying there wasn't a whole bunch of other things discussed after but running 11's on stock tires was a huge debate this summer. I think we can put that to rest now.
60' was also part of the debate..
I'm happy that someone other than GM finally hit 11's stock
