Actually, an '02+ LS1 Camaro/Firebird will run 12s with traction

When i got my car i did the dyno stock at only 400miles and I did put the catback and intake after that. It never had the chance to stay stock. I never ran it stock, but i can tell u that the catback and intake gave me 33RWHP and 24RWTQ. So i would say stock my car would be mid 13's at 105-106mph car.

LSs1Power - I made those runs at MIR in Budds Creek, MD.
I still have a '96 Formula. It's gone 11.2 with ****ty traction
The car is in pieces right now... doing a tubular K member, upper/lower front a arms, Hal shocks and some different springs. Hopefully I'll get down into the 1.5 60' times and push the car into the 10s. Then I can up the nitrous hit 
For the C32 guys - I talked to 2 East Coast guys and they both ran 13.0@106-107 in their stock C32s. Altitude, traction and weather play a huge part in it. We're lucky here in MD to be at sea level and have great tracks and weather.

C32 at Carlsbad 9/28/02
Just FYI, while discussing Carlsbad Track and C32's...
This guy says he ran a 13.3 at 106 at Carlsbad a few weeks earlier. 80 degree weather.
He was a first timer. This was an '03 C32 also.

While we are talking drag, what about some track runs? Honestly I am more interested in tracking, but drag is significantly more simple and less costly.
Maybe we can do some auto-xing at the Q?

Just missed the Beverly Hills Motorsports Club track lesson today, but there will be another one on November 14th. This is an all day driving event held at Willow Springs Raceway, and will make everyone who attends a much better driver! Evosport has arranged a first-time lesson fee of only $399. Included is a whole day of track lessons (not 4 or 5 20 minute sessions), catered breakfast and lunch, and usually 1 or 2 exhibition races including Ferrari Challenge cars as well many other high-end cars driven by the instructors. For more information, please contact me or visit the Events Forum (will be posted shortly).
Thanks
