I wasnt aware it ran low 12's, by looking at the video it looks like a 14 second run. LOL How much money did you dump into that v6 to run low 12's $5000 $7000? Ive done it for less than agrand. A turbo GN would be the only 6 I would put money into....just saying. [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]
that video was 12.29 @ 113 on only 9psi.

im low 12s (for now) only because something lets loose on every run so far lol.

my best was 12.03 in may in phoenix, it was bout 105 degrees outside.

my best trap speed is 122. which is almost on par with c6 z06's (they are mid to high 120s at best).

now, ive raced a c6 z06, on low boost, and he walked away from me like i was standing still hahah

rygen went a best of 10.9 with 17psi, 75shot of nitrous, and a built motor and heads/cams
buckman went a best of 11.02 on 15psi and a 75shot of nitrous and stock motor, with shimmed valve springs.
i went 12.03 on a 100% stock motor, no shimmed springs. only 12psi of boost and no nitrous


edit: also you did it with less than a grand in mods, but your car has a $8k higher msrp than mine., so technically im ahead, and im quicker

I don't think the other dude cares though. I think he just wants to make fun of you for putting money into a 6.

im sure thats all hes saying. i just think its funny when someone is like, why would u spend money on blah blah, when blah blah.

if both cars were purchased new, id be faster, better gas mileage, less money into my car, and i can actually fit 4 people in it.

True. I didn't know you were going that fast. I thought you were in the mid-high 12's, those times are sweet. You can definitely say that the new V6's gain power much better than the oldOHV V6's do.
