Re: COPO Pete Runs 11.96 at Gateway!
Pete,
Sorry I missed you and JJ this weekend. Sounds like the beer can motor has something for those Mopars in Stanton. Way to go!

How bout a 10.95 @128 MPH from Terry! (Those slicks made a difference)  [/ QUOTE ] He got the ZL1 clone to go 10.87 @ 130 on the stickey tires before he loaded up for home.

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. .
