I thought I was the worst...at the track!

I have done much more street racing and I seem to do that a lot better.

Even on DR's that seems really fast for a 'stock' Z06...stock right? Completely stock? There will be doubters even given the DA.

How true! lmao This is where I am 'the worst' drag racer! Keep in mind that I have only been to the track maybe 3 times with a stick car and running down the track...possibly even 3 times EVER!

I just could never get that 'correct' launch with the stick! As I said earlier, I can hold my own on the street with a stick though!

So what are the results of your runs you were supposed to have the other day?

I hate to question accomplishments, so that is why I didn't. However, that is a exceptional ET. Using math, it would take about 550 rwhp to run that ET and MPH at 3400 lbs....

The result is I no longer have the E55.During the run oil pressure line busted and oil was all over my rear tires I lost control of the car and hit the guard rail.The car is totaled by the way.I will be looking to buy a MKIV Supra when I get my insurance check. The Supra hopefully will be make close to 1khp and will be participating in the TX2K14.I changed the oil a week before my alternator went out.I took to a friend of mine who has a lift in his house.He asked me why I have oil all over the place I said It's because I changed the oil.Little did I know 2 days later I filled up my car with 2qts of an additional oil.I thought nothing of it careless I know.No one was hurt in the accident except my car.I still have a hard time believing I lost her and hoping to wake up from this nightmare.

.I will still be around because my dad will be buying an E63 or E55.
