I went to the drag strip and got a new best time.

13.422 @ 101.89 with a 60' of 1.932

A 1.9 60 foot makes me think that you had grip and the pass was "well driven". I guess I'm just surprised that you only trapped 101.xx on that pass. My only pass in my 2002 was a 14.04 @ 102.5 with a 2.6 60 foot and granny shifting each gear. I guess there is a HP difference that is greater than I thought between the cars (based on trap speed and my less than aggressive driving style). I'm guessing that you were ringing "most of it" out of your combination to get those numbers. I really didn't think the LS1 cars were that much faster in the real world (non magazine test times). Of course, I don't go to the strip these days. It's too far away and to spend 3 hours for 2 runs is worse than all day at an autocross for 4 runs (as more people have joined our local chapter, I've been less interested in running with them....bummer).

13.4 is a nice run!
