Oh well... Cool stuff regardless

Agreed but it seems like an ~40rwhp advantage that the manual has would more than compensate for this and produce quicker 1/4 times?

Thank You,

That burnout hopefully grabs the cover! LOL!

If we had my good ole NY air I'm sure that car would have ran a .40's....

Much has been said about the auto vs. manual and I can say that the 2012 6L90E trans is a fast shifting piece. Its a bigger factor then you think...

I may have missed it but was the stock 12.0 on stock tires or the drag radials?

OP, you have a video of the DR's and CAI run. Why no video of the bone stock 12.04 run? Time slip? Anything lol? Was it posted and i missed it or something?

Hate to keep asking, but i think it's pretty obvious most everyone here are more interested in the stock runs, not the modified...

Also on the stock runs, how many passes did you make to get the 12.04? Or was this the first pass? PTM mode you were using? Traction control on or off?

We need more info please... Did i mention the video...

Honestly when we work with the magazines they don't like to expose the jist of the articles...at dinner last night I got them to agree to let us post that video......the car is not the same as it was yesterday that much I can say!

We are hoping the weather holds off tomorrow and we are gonna squeeze it again.

I can tell you the times were very good considering the conditions yesterday. Thought the car was a turd but the times proved me wrong.

You can't expose the video of the bone stock run, but you can tell us what it ran? What harm would there be in posting a video of a stock Z run?

You would think if they didn't want you to post a video, it would be the one with the modifications done to it...

Alrighty then, it is what it is i guess...

Nice runs by the way!...

Well, since we are posting times with no time slips or videos, i guess somebody could just claim they broke into the 11's stock and the debate will be over...
