I know that guy or girl. I'm not shure who was driving when that picture was shot. Their a great couple in the Corvette community.
You like yellow don't you?!
You said that was your first time at the track.
Seat time, proper launch techniques, and shifting at the right times will go a long way to lowering your 1/4 mile times.
There is nothing wrong with your car. You trapped at 104mph. On a good day my stock 87 will do 13.8 @ 99mph. So it appears...
Reaction time has nothing to do with elapse time( 1/4 mile time ) The clock starts when you cross the start beam and stops when you cross the finish beam.
R/T is the amount of time from when the light turns green to you crossing the start beam.
A 96 Lt4 should be in the low 13's to the high...
I'm desperate. Anybody have the right front brake caliper. If I have to take both sides I will.
I was at a track day yesterday and I beat the crap out of my brakes. Tomorrow I'm scheduled to run in an autocross event.
So I need this part by 10:00 AM tomorrow. All the auto parts stores can...
Hey, knock it off! I,ve been picking pennies up for years. That's how I paid for my first Vette three years ago.
How am I going to get enough pennies for the Blue Devil if you guys are going to start picking up pennies?! :D
I don't know if you are close to this track, but they have a Corvette Challenge race this Sat.

Don't let the 5th race scare you off. Anybody with a Vette can run any time.
DRTH VTR's advice is probably better for you, as your car is closer in HP to his than mine is to yours.
The only things I can add is ASR off, put the trans in Drive (not Over Drive). If you're on street tires drive around the water box and spin the tires just enough to get any stones or other...
I've got an 87 Vette. I bought it with 97,000 miles on it. I've run it down the 1/4 mile over 450 times since I've had it. Nothing has broken on it. The only problem I've had is the clutches in the rear have worn out. Probably from the burn outs I do with drag radials.
If you go to the track...
Before posting this I did a search about my problem and did not find a possible solution
I have a 87 Vette. This past March I installed a line-lock for drag racing. The install went smoothly and the line-lock worked correctly. I also autocross the Vette. While going through an autocross...
WOW those are great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
From your pictures I can really see the "marbles" that race announcers talk about. Those chunks of rubber all over the track look more like rocks to me.
