I just realised I never updated this page after the 1/2 mile event. I ended up breaking the record for a ZL1 in a 1/2 mile with a best of 173.6. The car started the day on 17" wheels with a M&H Racemaster in a 325/45/17 on the rear & went a best of 171 mph, I switched the rears to 20" wheels with a 305/35/20 MT DR & closed out the day with back to back 173 mph passes. I never started from a roll the whole day, I ended up doing standing starts so it was basically a 1/2 mile drag race. The car would trap alot higher but the airstrip surface is horrible & I was having big traction issues all day on either set of tires, it was a pedal fest trying to get it to hook for the 1st 100 yards. The car hasn't ever had a single hiccup & pulls like a freight train, but like I've said a million times it drives & sounds like a stock car, I love the stealth factor of it.
