    lol, i'm definatly new to being on a strip but dont think i could manage that... although i am swapping to a 5 speed, so i'm sure i'll embarass myself somehow or another. So those that go keep an eye out for me so you can do this to me afterwards

    That's funny... When I seen that he was backin' up, I knew what was gonna happen... Don't ever under-estimate the power of a GM w/ an auto transmission... ....

    I just talked to GM "know-it-all" the other day... He insisted that his 98' Camaro ran 12.8 bone stock, auto, then went on to tell me that if he had slicks, it would've ran 11.8...

    When I asked where the car was, his answer was, "I wrecked it after I done did a doughnut after installing a programmer and slammed into a telephone poll..."
    90' lx coupe.... stock cam'd explorer combo.. 11.80 @ 113


    99' Cobra.... work in progress..... cold air... and a free catback... 12.93 @ 107.3mph on Sumitomo tires- (1.89 60')...

    I hate to admit this but I did that once with my Charger back in the day. I just laughed it off but was embarrassed as hell.

    I think Even Smith from MM&FF drove a stock LS1 Camaro with a manual transmission to a 12.80 but I think he is a freak of nature when it comes to driving ability.

    I can see how someone would make that mistake at the track, especially on their first pass ever. I know it sure seemed like there was a lot going on when I pulled up to the line the first time. That still doesn't change the fact that its funny.

    That was hilarious!

    As if staging with the back tires was not enough, then the reverse launch
