My best is 13.6@103mph on SLP Customer Appreciation Day at National Trails Raceway in Ohio. All done in 95+ degree weather with very oppressive humidity with mods listed in sig. I'm going to the track this Thursday, so I sure hope the cold air will make a big difference.

I ran 13.7's that day. On a prepped track with decent weather and possibly DR's, you'll be in the 12's.

I wish i had made it to the track with my turbo setup prior to selling it. 550+/- hp and 600+/- tq... Would have been fun. I'm just waiting now for the NEXT BIG THING to come along but until then i'll likely hit the sauce and see what it will do. Later, Dr. STEW
By the way, I think i had enough for 10's??? who knows? Its all in bench race heaven now

Been a while since I've been back in here...and reviewing the times on this thread it appears that we have some pretty descent running stock F-Bods in here.

2 weeks ago I got a personal best 1/4 time with my 2002 Brickyard 400 SS. It is a bone stock automatic with no optional SLP performance options. I ran a 13.42 @ 104 with a 2.07 60' time at a junk track near my house,Milan Dragway. I was pleased being a vert!

I have a 96 Z28 vert. with a 383 stroker and Procharger blower. My best run was with a BEAT clutch 11.56 @ 123.30 at Cecil County in Maryland. I have not been able to get it running right since I put a Spec Stage 3 clutch, DD subframe connectors, boxed lowers, airbags, skinnies, and custom front mount install. Hoping to go hi tens with this combo, then spray it. Then again, I am in school, and broke now! Unfortunately I have even had 2 consider selling it.

Hey Gonzo I like that color combo on your car. I think my medium patriot red is a little darker. I haven't seen two side by side yet.
needless to say I haven't seen many of our color combo cars out there

Everyone knows that verts are the heaviest cars out there and I just wanted to get a feel for what we are all running at the track. We have a big disadvantage due to our weight, but there are a few of us out there that tend to show that verts aren't as slow as many may think....like George Baxter. Low 9 seconds.....what the hell is that all about?
So, lets see em....what's your best 1/4 mile and MPH?
My best weighing in at 4,300 lbs NA was:
12.782 @ 103.91
But this will soon change once I get back out on the track since I've lightened the load significantly and installed the 150HP N2O.

Whats up Gonzo, I just joined the board also, I have not got to the track yet, just got the car on my B-day last year. Can't wait to get to MIR this spring. I keep the vert in the garage, and drive the coupe in the winter...

Hey there...right on. Yea, there's nothing like dropping the top and cruising to the track...bring the top up, tech in, and throwing down some low 11s. Ah, you should come out to MIR with us for our annual Modern F-Body Shootout that will be held on the 19th of April. Click here for more details on it: http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/events/mf-bs03/
This season will be a big change for my slug though. Got the motor in a lot of pieces as I'm going through a new build. 11.3 at 124.8 wasn't enough. I'm determined to go 9s in a couple of years and I'm focused on this goal. This season though my goal is to come out on mid to low 10s.

Yea, it's been very hard for me to find other Ceyenne Red Camaros. I've only run across 3 since my purchase back in 97. I do like the Patriot Red as well...nice color.
I got a Vector/Powerdyne unit for Christmas. I'm waiting to get off my lazy butt and get some forged internals and stiffer valve springs before I install it. I'm hoping to get into the low-mid 13's afterwards....

New time: 11.9@117(7.8 1/8 mile)and 12.0@119 at around 80deg. I should be down a half a sec or so when I learn to do a decent burn out(they wouldn't let me run w/o a rollbar after the 11.9)and replace my sliping tranny :-)

I'm surprised that any NHRA or IHRA track allowed you to run deeper than 13.9 without a rollbar.
You might as well invest in a "firejacket" as well.

Yea, those damn 2.73:1 gears really need to get yanked out of there and set yourself up with either 3.73:1 (auto) or 4.10:1 (manual). Don't be skuuuur'd.

Come on down to Atlanta drag way. Everybody i know knocks off a few tenths at any other track they run though. I run 12.5s all night long in the heat on motor but could only get a 11.9 on a 150 shot.ha ha. I think i will see atleast 1 mid to low 11 run next time i go. Alan

Gonzo you are so right about the rollbar as I do not get to run my vert much because of that only way I get in a run is at a track they don't know the car. best run got in so far before made to leave the track was RT .74 60ft 1.74 1/8th 8.1-88.9mph 1/4 11.64-126 mph and yes I am seeing some nice times for our verts Posts: 737 | From: Siler City N.C. | Registered: Sep 2003

Nice run but that's one odd looking timeslip. We run similar 1/8 times but after that you pick up some crazy mph. How much juice you putting to that car and when are you spraying it?

The 1/8 was off the motor and I spray in third mostly with a 125 shot. I am running most bolt on and all the free mods and a LPE custom grind cam and heads Posts: 737 | From: Siler City N.C. | Registered: Sep 2003
