First Trip to Track in Z-28

This was the first time I ever took the car to the track. I went to Englishtown, N.J. On a hot 84 degree day with a full 16 gallon tank of fuel.

R/T .360

Ran a best of 15.9@84

2.3 60ft

Kinda dissapointed, thought I would pull a 15.7 atleast.

I think I launched like a wimp, around 1,500 RPM's no wheelspin at all.


1992 Z-28 LB9 auto (Bone Stock) 85,000 miles. Perhaps it was the Temp and Weight weighing me down. I weighed in at 3,630lbs with me in the car. ( I weigh 170)

Does that time seem right? Let me hear your best stock LB9 times.

Pump the front tires to 45psi leave the rears at 30psi run 1/4
tank of gas, pull the air filters and you`ll run 15.5 on a cool night
