She loved it. She's an adrenaline junky like me. After her first pass she comes back to the staging lane and says look my hands are shaking and I can't catch my breath. I took her sky diving for her birthday last year and she said drag racing was a better rush.

wish my family was as into racing.

I don't get the ETs from your daughters passes, she picked up .4 on the 60' and only .4 in the 1320?

I think that's about right with a real underpowered AOD car like her 4.6. I remember going when my 95 was bone stock and I couldn't get better than a 2.2 sixty and a 13.3 out of the stock 5.0 with the AOD. I think my AOD had about had it.

That was what I saw with my 60' to 1320' times, .1 to .1 in both my '07 gt and '12 gt.

Also.. Camaro's are slow

Sounds like a great time! Isn't your '95 ready for action yet?

Not the kinda action I'm looking forward to but it has made some passes on motor. 12.3-12.6. I had a falling out with the shop that used to do my work so I still haven't got the nitrous wired up or the roll cage welded in.
