Congrats! This is so awesome.

Now we need someone skinny like me, with a 1SS auto coming (again like me) to hit the track and get into the 11s bone stock. lol

Don't count on me guys...I'll likely never make it to the track!

Nice times. I'm waiting to see what Atco holds for this thing.

Tires were fine except they rub the rear of the inner fender well on the engine side when you turn all the way to the lock. Not likely something you would do on the drag strip. No issues with either rear or front on a 10 mile drive around town. Both wheels were the ones Weld recommended for a 2012 ZL1. I had them in the garage so I tried them. Here are the sizes:

Front: Weld RT-S, 17x5 with M&H 4.5/28.0/17 tires
Read: Weld RT-S, 17x9 with MT ET Streets, 295/45/17
I think I am in love. That looks amazing with those wheels. I ordered the same thing minus the MRC and 6 piston brakes.

They must be blind. Back window says 13, with the 1 towards the trunk and the 3 towards the roof. The number is facing you if you were standing on the passenger side.

Slips both say 13 as well.

What is the issue?
