Got my Z28 into the 10's....
For anyone who cares I took my car to Richmond Dragway yesterday.....
Made one aborted pass on the motor after I accidentally crept thru the lights and redlighted when the brakes wouldn't hold the car against the converter... I sat there for a brief instant unaware that I had already started the timers by redlighting then I mashed on it....
11.92@117.6 MPH...... Oh well at least it's an 11.....
There was talk in the pits about making Run Tough class go immediately into eliminations. Since I hate bracket racing and the cutoff for my class was 11.50 (which the car can run on motor alone) I decided to let it all hang out and run the TNT Nitrous system with the smallest jets in the nozzles.... So with the 100 shot flowing I left off idle to avoid the rolling thru the lights fiasco and hit the bottle when I was about 10-15 feet from the starting line.... and ran:
10.77@128.8 MPH with a 1.59 60 foot time....
Needless to say after that pass I was booted and sentenced to three days trimming mullets at Richmond Raceway... Can't wait to go back there and try the 150,200, and 250 shot jets...

You're confusing Scott and Me.... APE did some of the work on my car but I built the car originally and did the majority of the work. The White RS you are referring to is Bobby Carpenters and AFAIK it will be hitting the streets within two to three weeks last I heard. Scott would be more likely to give you a better timeframe for that though....
Alot of people confuse my car and Scott's car cause other than wheels they look the same...
