Ran The Grocery Getter In Alaska On Steet Tires!

[justinschmidt1]

Had the ice tires on since it was like 25 degrees, just kidding, but it really was like 25 degrees out.

It ran great, especially compared to a ZL1 with corsa and air intake that ran 12.6-116 mph.

Obviously the biggest issue was traction, it was virtually non existent in the cold with my 305/30 street tires.

After many failed attempts at launching and said F it, let's roll out off idle. lol

I was shooting for 11s and I finally was able to get it when I let the clutch out at idle, bogged it, and it just hooked all the way from there.

The car had 0 cool down time either, drove it an hour there and ran it 10 times in row.

Did I mention this is my first time ever at the strip with a Manual car?

And before anyone asks, yes I was banging gears in my sperrys. lol

I need some DR's Bad but I was very impressed with that trap speed

What was the best et/mph?

That was the best et/mph. I had a few other half way decent passes in the 12.0-12.1 area then the rest were like 2.5 and 2.8 60 foots lol. Traction was impossible in the conditions and they dont prep on friday nights there at all lol.

Nope. I can't stand the way the coupe looks

My friend has a go pro on the back of the car for one of the runs

Wonder if that's any good lol
