I dont see why it would be that hard to break 11's
I ran a 12.3 @ 113 with intake, full exhaust, untuned PFC at 12-13psi on a set of Nittos, yea I know Jim they are drag radials but they last 15K miles which similar to alot of other performance tires. I drove them all the time so in my opinion it can be compared to a regular street tire.
Then BFG's on the other hand last about 3k miles so I dont drive them all the time.....I throw them more into the slicks category eventhough they have similar performance to the Nittos.
Anyway, I'd probably only been to the strip 5 times before making that run so its not like I'm some kind of special awsome driver with 20 years experience.
my 60 foot was 1.8x(I think 1.87 but cant remember the last # for sure) which is similar to the z06 you mentioned but like you said there is quite a bit of ET difference for only 1 mph trap speed.
Still though, I've yet to see a stock z06 beat my 12.3 in my area.
Area makes all the difference in the word, you guys cant judge what one car runs when you dont know the track and weather conditions because it have a HUGE effect. I'm sure my car wouldnt run 12.3 in 100F weather or in a very high elevation. When your comparing times over the internet your comparing apples to oranges. Plus the moon was out that night I ran my 12.3 so maybe that had somthing to do with it...lol
I'm wanting to hit the track again as soon as I get tuned. I've added IC, fuel upgrades, 15psi, launch kit, clutch, and cant wait to see how much differnce it makes.
Oh yea when I ran the 12.3 in was with seq twins.
