Dude, I want to see the full timeslip. Look at those trap speeds and that ET. With some traction you would see *AT LEAST* a 13.2, at least. With good weather and good traction, you'll probably dip into the 12s with that trap speed, no shit.
People who know me know that I am a cynic. Y'all will just think I'm saying this because I drive an LS1. I really don't care either way.
How much do you have invested in your car, not counting the cost of the vehicle itself? I don't want to take away from your achievement, which is one so great that it will garner respect from *any* domestic driver, but I am simply questioning the wisdom of your buddy Dave saying that a 2gnt can "easily" take an LS1. I want to know how "easy" it really is.
