New best again! WooHoo!! 12.853 @ 110.45

Went out to play again this weekend... The only change to the car was I got a set of 18" c6 wheels and mounted some 285/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires (same 220 tread wear rating as the P-Zero's)... I had planned on running these on all 4 corners, but one of the tires I received was either damaged in shipping, or was a blem right out of the factory mold, so I was forced to run with only 2 on the rear.

Went to the semi finals Friday night; nailed the dial in but lost it on the tree :-( It was cold and we had to take a 30-45 min break for rain, after it rained I couldn't hook up worth a crap.

First pass out Saturday I ran a 12.865 @ 109.56mph with a 1.988 60' on these street tires! I was super stoked, I'd never gotten under a 2.0 60' with this car yet... Sad to say that was my only run with less than a 2.0 60'... 2 runs later I ran a new personal best of 12.853 @ 110.45 mph w/ a 2.010 60'...

Super stoked, I'm done beating on the car, all I wanted it to do was run a 12, and it ran high 12's almost all weekend, so I can concentrate on trying to be consistent now rather than getting a 12.

The last picture is the aftermath of scraping the wheel wells after 3 days straight of drag racing; about 30 passes on the new when I started Friday Goodyear tires.

*EDIT* DA corrected according to dragtimes.com: DA was 1215 above sea level, corrected time/mph is 12.689 @ 111.898 MPH

I'm continuing to reduce rotating mass... Couldn't believe how much rubber I scraped off. I put it in a ziplock back... I'm thinking of collecting it...

Can't wait to see them on all four! Looks good so far. Will your center caps fit? I heard they do. Is your car lowered?

The car is stock height... The stock 20 center caps do NOT fit these wheels... I thought they would from looking at them, but they aren't even close in real life. I'll have to buy some GS center caps I guess??

Thats a good MPH and time. Is the car stock other than the rear 18's?

Mods in sig, however I think the only actual performance enhancing mod is our new prototype cold air intake, can be seen here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219913
