Well I can tell you right off the bat that I am a Useless straight line driver lol. I have a 98 Z28 that in anyone else's hands would be an 11 second car with drag radials. I for the life of me couldn't do better than a 12.5 because my 60ft was an atrocious 2.2 if not worse. Way too much variable in driver, tire, and track conditions for that to be a relevant test, especially as I never did a baseline run in the car.

That being said, for ****s and giggles I would like to do a 1/4 mile at some point just to see what it runs. I have a feeling its faster than my Z28, probably low 12s if I don't botch the start too badly.

10x better in the low end with the Race Headers, the car was slug below 4500 before and now pulls hard from 2500 to redline. Night and day difference

Thanks for chiming in guys!

That's the beauty of trap vs ET. Far less dependent on driver and a trap delta is very c/w a power delta.

Please post after you run it!

I'll take your word for it, I prefer apexes haha. You better believe I'll post after running it! I'll see what I can do over the next few weeks. Air is good right now too

Pardon the flopping mic cord and leaving the music on towards the end of the video...amateur Lol

Still running our Race Headers/Valvetronic Exhaust System on my Cayman R and LOVING IT!

Pictures/Video from my latest track day at NYST run by fellow Rennlist member Cooperyau. First time on track in a car in the wet, SO MUCH FUN!

Also loving the new wrap from MC Designs, can't stop looking at it and snapping necks everywhere I drive it haha.
