10k! good time to start breaking her in!!! .. depending on driver, track conditions, weather, altitude and the current of the Pacific ocean, 13.5-12.6?... i'll start the bidding at 12.8!

lol 13.5-12.6? not vague at all!
Re: 02 6spd Firehawk Vert going to the track on Sunday
12.6? bone stock LS cars very rarely hit 12's. Especially a heavier vert. Bolt on LS cars not all that hard to get into the 12's though.
My guess would be more along the lines of 13.6, mph depending on wether it is auto or stick.

Then 13.6@107 is my guess but I hope it is good weather and you do even better than that.firehawk617 wrote:6spd96AZHAWK wrote:12.6? bone stock LS cars very rarely hit 12's. Especially a heavier vert. Bolt on LS cars not all that hard to get into the 12's though.

What is your racing history? Ever had this car on a track? What track?

Ohio, maybe Norwalk??? If you can launch good with the 6spd I'll go 13.4@103.3.
Good luck and have fun.

Not concerned about running 105mph or so on 8 or 9 year old tires? It would me.

Very good point. Tires aren't safe just because they have tread left.missmy97hawk wrote:Not concerned about running 105mph or so on 8 or 9 year old tires? It would me.

Going to run it at Dragway 42. Ive made a few passes in my day but never in this car. As for being scared of the 8.5 yr old tires? Nah and besides have to keep the origionality factor! They are only going to be at a 100 for what a second or two tops? They wont ever get hot. I think ill survive lol!
