I know, not a big deal, especially with a slow vehicle but a photographer friend (Mixtography) was there along with a few other guys I know so figured I'd share some pics and vids with y'all.

I started off shitty and then after I lowered the psi some in the tires I started to get some much better times. My mods are quite light: 2.8 upper, 4lb lower, intake/exhaust, valvebody, Randy Tune, Hankook All Seasons. lol

Here was my best of the day:

Part of me didn't want to show this slip cause of our forever-pending race but oh well...who knows if I'll have it too much longer anyways lol.

CTS-V had a best of 12.05 @ 116.

M5 had a best of 11.72 @ 124.

Both of those cars weigh a ton and are stock.

Which 'stang? And not sure regardless...don't think I know him.

Some videos... I wasn't working on reaction times and was simply just trying to get some clean launches. I of course forgot to record my better runs.

Playing with that LS3 C7 (intake/exhaust/tune):

Wow, did not think that heavy M 5 would run that kind of #. Not bad.

Dang I didn't think the M would go that fast either.

11.72@124 sounds weird. I ran a 10.81@124 in the truck.

Did he have traction issues?

those new M5/M6 cars are rated at like 550hp... they usually dyno at over 550 to the tire.

Since you live down the street from me. If you're going to the track again let me know. I've never been to the track here.

If I don't "accidentally" trade the truck for something else then I'll probably be heading back in two weeks. lol

:hysterical: You would have me! I would def kill you on the launch but you would run me down no doubt!

How am I supposed to over compensate with a miata??

I should just get a G8 GXP and drive around revving my exhaust at people while avoiding my friends who do race...yeah, that's the ticket! :finger:
