I'm far from the gear rowing expert. Jonecap has been 1.51 in a pretty stock M6 C4 and is about to destroy Ranger's C5 Zo6 record, tpi421vette runs some ridiculous times in his M6 C4, etc...
I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve, I think there's another .2 and 2 MPH in the current combo with some more tweaks. I think it will eventually go 11.1XX, but I don't know about 10's without some spray.
You're both ahead of the curve.... in my observations of racing over the years, its not very common to see guys running that well with a manual transmission. Most guys in the low 120's trap area are running in the mid to high 11 area and some struggle to even do that. 11.3 puts you in rare company. Hence, you are still dubbed the Gear Rowing forum expert. All forum questions on the subject will be directed in your direction ! :tongue:
Although I will say, an old racing friend was running well into the 10's at 125 mph back around 10 years ago.... but, he was cheating, he had a purpose built racing manual transmission. (Think it was either a Liberty or Lenco, I do not remember which) I remember him saying the tranny cost him over $4000..... that stuck in my mind. I will tell you, he was having more fun racing than the rest of us put together.
