Josh,
Good work man! The car looks simply awsome and the dyno numbers are amazing! I'll see you tomorrow and you can demo me that wraith!
Benny is your car ready? And if so how are the dyno numbers looking? Will have to join you guys and video tape this event!

Dragon,
Cograts! Looks killer. I woul also debage the entire car. (I did mine)
Enjoy the car for a couple of weeks, get used to it, and then let's put the event together. If the car is as strong as the numbers you claim - you should break 12 seconds 1/4 mile...

WOW, you really need to take it to a drag strip.. you think <12.5... Well if you do anything over 12 sec you dont know how to drive it! You should be in the ~11.5 range!!

You are coming and giving your keys to the "Key Master" (which is me of course), and you will be getting belligerently drunk and allowing me to drive you home. Oh and I'll throw in a hot chick too. Worst case scenario, I’ll settle for a car ride.
Oh and what time to you get off work?

I'm off this whole weekend, and planning to meet up with JamE55, probably at Mandalay Bay (where he's staying). What are you doing today, any plans? BTW - I'm taking it out next week for Test N Tune at LVMS. I want to break the into the 11's so bad. That would be awesome. But, I would be happy with anything less than 12.5. Keep in mind it's probably going to be 110 degrees out here next friday at the track and we are at 2,200 ft. elevation.

Cars and boats!
z06 is a low 12 second car with a good drive, with a good drive and sticky tires, i would say a high 11 second car!!! With the numbers you are putting down, if you can hook up then you should break high 11s with ease. The car is sick!!!! If a chip/pulley/intake/exhaust C32 can pull off a 12.5, im sure your supercharged C55 can break at least a 12.0!!!`

I don't know about breaking 11 secs in the 1/4 mile. C&D tested the Kleeman C55 S8 and got 0-60mph in 3.8 sec and did the 1/4 mile in 12.2 sec @ 117 mph.

BTW - I didn't sound stock. This z06 must have had exhuast and some other mods.

like I said, you have so much more power than a Z06 its sick! Considering the heat and elevation you might be high 11's, but you should be 11's nontheless.. Like BenzoAMGpower said "If a chip/pulley/intake/exhaust C32 can pull off a 12.5, im sure your supercharged C55 can break at least a 12.0!!!" Well you are much more than .5 second quicker the a C32 with all those mods. I have seen a 03 Cobra with very minimul mods pull high 11's.. and you have way more power than he did. With good sticky tires you are there...
