First trip down the 1/4 in my custom '72 Corvette

This is my first time racing a stick shift, so still working on my launch. The car is my '72 Corvette with a Magnuson supercharged LS6. I had four runs that night with a best of 12.07 at 118 and a worst of 12.94. Getting off the line was difficult with street tires, and I spun badly on two of the runs (no video of my worst run). Can't wait to get some videos on a road course! That's my nephew at the end.

I am completely in love with your Vette, beautiful sound and looks. The import owners looked puzzled.

That CRX almost had you. Two or three more stickers and a fresh coat of black spray paint on the hood and the Vette is toast!

Good work. Get some stickies and figure out the launch and you'll be low 11's before you know it!

That's an awesome vette. It's hard to launch with street ties and a clutch. I had an 81 camaro with a 383, 4 speed super t10, and 3.42 gears. With a 275 radial I bested 12.33 @117. Getting off the line takes a lot of practice, my 60s were like 1.8.. Anyways, beautiful vette!

You know, irregardless of the shifting and reaction time, the most important thing is, "DID YOU HAVE FUN"?? I will bet the answer is HELL YES!!!! That is a very sharp corvette. Did you do the work yourself?? How about those fender flares? I really like those and will eventually sell my 69 GTO and 76 Trans am so I can build one similar to yours!!! More videos please!!

@phammond87 I'm making 474 at the wheels. I have a dyno video on KZfaq also. I'm not using slicks and this was my first time driving a manual at the track. Was either smoking the tires or the clutch on takeoff.

Nice car. I'm starting to plan a LS3 swap into my '72. I'd like to run a TVS2300 on it. Wondering how much clearance under the hood.

@rockerpat1085 6 жыл бұрын

I have your car as my screen saver!!! I just posted a video of my 76. Hope you check it out. I'm going to redo mine again soon. I have a customer with a SS Trailblazer. That's the 6.0L that's probably going in. I just need him to blow it up or someone run into it just enough to total it. Wouldn't be hard it has 250k miles on it. Keep Rocking it out Dude!!!

@texascagematch If you look at my other videos I have one called, "Corvette Walkaround" or something like that where I explain everything about the car. Message me and I'll send a link with just about all the questions you can think of answered.

Hey nice runs! What u got under the hood? I built a fairly mild 540 for my '70, motor is done just restoring the rest of the car. I hope to post a video soon on the rolling chassis. I expect the car to run 10's but without a cage I don't know if they will let me do even 1 run.

a better launch on some MT Drag Radials would put that car around 11.70 ets' & possibly pick up a MPH or two. good job on the 12.07 et.

lol that was just unfair to pit that little honda hatch at the end up against american muscle. MAYBE if it was really tuned that would make it a better match but...yeah... I kinda felt bad for that honda, it never stood a chance.
