He got the ZL1 clone to go 10.87 @ 130 on the stickey tires before he loaded up for home. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Any idea what his times were on the Goodyear Polyglas tires.

Re: COPO Pete Runs 11.96 at Gateway!
 

Best for the orange car at SCR8 on G70 x 14 Polyglas was 11.42 @ 128. The old Firestone slicks are 2" larger in diameter than the polys and made for less overall gearing. That, and a bit more rubber on the ground. At SCR7 Terrys' Camaro went 11.13 two runs in a row on the polys. It went 11.06 / 127 at the Year One event in Atlanta earlier this year on G70x14 white letters.

[excuse] He turned the wick up on the aluminum engine this year to well over 700hp through the exhaust manifolds and it's a bit harder to stick the tires now.[/excuse]

He'll probably go to a 3.73 or 3.90 gear to kill some of the low end cause it's a bit tough to keep the tires from spinning through first and second gear the way it is.
