Doug, stock, they should run around 11.2-11.5 @ 125ish. Since it wasnt loud, it wasnt cammed... cams in the LSx cars wakes them the hell up and makes them sound pissed off.
Sounds like you had a couple good runs, did you get to the track last night?

I'd be pleased with the runs considering what they cost and that you're doing it in a GT. We can't all afford a C6 Z06 but to be able to keep up with/beat one is impressive.
So what's the trick to getting vettes to race, when I had my Cobra and LX it was a miracle to actually get one to do anything.

25-40k is a shit ton?
I paid 30k for my 08 coupe in 2009 with 16k miles on it, and it made 650 rw.
Vettes dont hold value for shit because they are over priced and dealers give them away (the right ones do anyway)... so it's easy to pick up a nice one at a cheap price. Ask Steve, he looked for a while, he knows they are all over cheap as chips. I love Mustangs, but Id rather have a lightly used Vette for half the price (vs a Shelby, Id never be happy in a stock 5.0).

I guess i should have had you find me a 08+ vette auto with under 30k miles when I was looking last year for $30k or under. I couldn't find one anywhere modded or stock. I didn't really want a manual but I only found a couple of those in that price range. I looked for few months on all the forums ebay autotrader etc..
Here's how I did in the 1/8th against a c6z06 not my best pass but I was on a set of old 18's with drag radials. I was spinning some in first and both of the shifts spun pretty bad but it was a close race. With the instant hit of your PD blower you should get in the 10s pretty easily.

If I could have found a Z06 for under 40k with a warranty that's what I would be driving. Best bang for the buck car on the market hands down. Good runs.

I had to go check, lol. Looks like a low mileage '07 is right around $50k, I paid $33k for mine so I'd say he has a little to spare even with the blower, but I see your point.

u are checking the wrong spots... I was looking at 40-43k for 07-08s last year... a NICE 5.0 or Boss is about the same price
The C7 coming out is gonna make the prices drop HARD core due to too many for sale and no buyers...

I don't know where a "nice 5.0" is $40+, mine's a '13 premium with all options other than Nav and Recaros and I bought it in April of '12. The Boss I can understand but I was also somewhat referring to owning a brand new car, not one that's 6/7 years old with 50k miles or more.

I hear ya, Im used to older cars, brand new cars are cool and all, but they are too slow, which requires mods, more money, time, and then a blown warranty. so besides the paint which can be buffed, there really isnt any reason to buy a new car unless you just are that type of person. Its only NEW for about 16 seconds.
nice as in loaded up with shit. I looked and the ones I wanted were all mid to high 30s. No I didnt get a last year deal like Steve or other people cause I wasnt looking seriously, just what I gathered in my few weeks of research.
The whole point is the prices are a lot closer than people think. Just cause you see a 20 y/o kid in a C6Z doesnt mean he paid 70-100 grand for it...

The truth of what you said makes me want to kill myself, lol. I got rid of my 03 Cobra which was quite a bit quicker and WAY cheaper for this car just to start form scratch. This is my first new car and will probably be my last for a long time.
