SS--I like to consider it mid 11'* in an attempt to not sound like I am stretching the truth. It is however under the 11.5 mark which by any strech could be considered low 11'*.
A little more info though... My 11.42 run was using a 150 shot of Nitrous straight on through the gears. The tranny (Which there have been five of) didn't last long after that. I started loosing gears little by little and needed a rebuild. I only use a 100 shot now because it keeps me above 11.5 seconds so I dont have to install a roll cage. I'll get around to that at some point, but I'm just not ready to go on to the next steps of modding the Z...Roll Cage, then engine internals. Lastly, the Z was pretty much stripped of unnecessary weight for that day at the track. No AC Compressor, no front sway bar, no spare tire and jack, no passenger or back seats, etc.
Anyway, Thanks again for the warm welcome everybody; I look forward to getting to know everyone better as time goes on.
