Danno SS versus me

[2000LS1Z28]

well we met at the track, and ran his SS versus my Evolution. Here's a run down of what mods are on each car:

2002 Z28 SS
All SLP options (catback, air lid, and some other stuff I didn't catch), Z06 cam, and Nitto drag radials. Dynoed at 338 rwhp at LAPD

2003 Evo
Xede piggyback, HKS catback, Helix downpipe, clutch master's stage one clutch

I ran my 91 octane gas like a moron, as I had too much gas left over to make it 100 octane. Oh well. I was really stupid and gave Danno advise. He was quite insistant on running 25 psi in his drag radials, but I talked him into putting it down to 20 psi on his 2nd and 3rd runs (Notice 60' times on those runs). On to the runs......

Danno Bobby

330' 5.830 5.645
1/8 8.777 @ 84.50 8.724 @ 81.27
1000' 11.297 11.374
1/4 13.448 @ 104.59 13.6 @ 101.27
Winner Danno

Well Danno beat me. We had some close runs, but his car was clearly faster. I don't feel so bad though. I picked up 7mph on the new tune. The track was rather hot at first, and the headwind didn't help anything.

P.S. Some fat dumbass challenged me to a boxing fight, and then walked away when I pulled up next to him. Go to the track to race, not to fight.

That's pretty cool man. You guys had some very close runs, and DanoSS is very consistant with his car, he'd make a good bracket racer.

BTW, is that a .500 base tree or .000?

[2000LS1Z28]

Well that's what threw us off. Subtract .5 from the R/T We didn't know that they changed the tree to a .000 light, instead of a .500. We took off leisurly due to this I think (I was like, man I suck, how could I redlight). The new timing threw us off, but we were pretty close reaction time wise. We both launch at the third ember. I always seemed to hold him off until the 1/8 mile, then his SS would just power by me, and then nudge away.

13.6 @ 101 eh?

Well, we'll have to see if the Z can best that when we meet in September... eh Bobby?

[danno_SS]

Yup the 0.000 tree thing really threw us both off. After the first run, Bobby was like "ha ha, you redlighted I win". That totally screwed with my head. The next run I hesitated and sat till the green.

The third run was probably the best. We both cut damn near the same R/Ts and were neck-in-neck at the 1/8. If you factor in my 0.050 head start that put us right next to each other at the 1/8, 8.727(me) vs. 8.724.

All in all, fun times. We'll have to do this again.

Nice time's!

Im trapping around 99-100mph but with horrible 60's im still in the 14's

[kittedb18bt]

dang guys! i bet those races were exciting. i would love to see what a stall would do for danno's 60 ft times.

Don't you think it's rather odd Matty, that i'm only trapping 3 mph less then a 338 rwhp car. You wanna run me from a roll with probably around 70 whp less Let alone from a dig. Danno will tell you that he had to play catch up. Besides, it's C16 race gas and the 100 octane map for you. P.S. Danno thinks my car has around 300 awhp.

Yes, 338whp... pushing around a 3500lb Camaro.


Remember, I'm lighter... Don't need as much power to go as fast.


Why do you gotta run Race gas? Nervous?

[2000LS1Z28]

No, I wanna school someone that has never set foot on a track, and that has only street raced. Nothing like teaching the younglings
I hope we run from a dig. I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised.

Never had a reason to set foot on a race track. Never had a car to run. I see no problem with that.


Run from a dig.. a roll.. whatever you'd like.

I guarantee nothing though, due to set backs on parts. I may decline even running. The way things are looking, I might not get the car a week before the monthly meet. Hardly enough time to get adjusted to the new power plant.

I felt the clutch today, shit that thing is stiff. The reach to the shifter is kinda awkward too, a bit far. It's going to be like learning stick all over again for me. haha. Although I do have a new Razo shift knob... ooo comfy!

But enough excuses.

[SR240Z]

evo guy, there shouldnt be a need for you to run race gas if you are so conifdent my friend. or are you scared that he might give some stiffer competition than you thought?

[2000LS1Z28]

Hmm, hasn't anyone ever heard of run whatcha brung. I guess you guys tell people to not use their nitrous, cause it's unfair
