yup exactly, i got my RS lookin darn good but im not gonna bother with speed because id have to do either a motor swap (too much time and money) or a turbo (just dont like the idea of a turbo daily driver). To go fast im gonna count on my Z28, when i get it it should be already be running mid 13's with the mods it currently has.
nice run.. considering u may be having tranny issues.

Prior to the tranni issues, and the car being lowered, best I ran (as somewhat indicated in my sig) was a 14.4 at 104mph.
since it's been lowered (would get us a better 60ft) and if the tranni was as solid as it was when I ran that, we could get pretty damn close to a 13.x without any additional mods or tuning.
So ya, 14.9 with bad 3rd gear, and an average 60ft leads me to believe that there was still room for improvement that day. Ran out of time and Nitrous though!! LoL
The nice cool air helped too!
btw all her best time before i got her was a 14.4 @99.? MPH
i had to redo a lot in her as she sat for a long time before i put her on the road so now all the kinks worked out ...i fix the tranny and well next year i will get good numbers
