I was trapping 116mph with about 400whp. And trap speeds are hard to improve on....even if your ET's fluctuate, you'll find that you trap speeds will not. But with a little more power, I am sure you'll be in the 116-118mph range.

I really need to start heating up the tires more, Im not doing a very good job of that, still cutting 1.7 60ft's.
Sharif I wish I didnt have this nasty headwind man, the Z owners can vouch for me, it sucked, and they were all running slower than usual and trapping about 1.5-2mph lower than usual.

Yes powershifting every gear. I know it always looks like I lift my leg some on the 3-4 but thats just my momentum moving my upper leg, trust me I wasnt lifting for that, foot to the floorboard....I wish I had also gotten outside video so you can hear that I dont lift. You didnt hear a BOV did ya

Good **** bro congrats....I knew you had it in you... 
Just makes me sad I was running 12.6 at 123mph and you ran a 11.9 at 114 
I guess thats what happens when you run a 1.7 60ft and powershift like you do as opposed to running a 2.3 60ft...

that is true about the no bov sound.. hmm.. i can powershift any gear except 1-2.. i've only done it 3 times.. i don't practice powershifting but once i realized 1-2 powershift was pretty damn hard for me.. i just gave up on that.. but i do powershift thru other gears..

I will vouch first hand.. NASTY head wind, about 20mph.. Everyone was trapping lower than usual..
I don't like giving many props.. but you have to give credit where it is due.
Bert you're an ANIMAL!! Help me into the 12's man!

wait for the comments on streetfire.net. domestic lovers will say "stupid ricer, my mustang will kill it, the z is a toad it weighs over 3,600 lbs, that car didn't run 11s". so many ignorant and stupid people on that site.

Bert...congrats, man. I was there and agree that the wind was whipping.
This was a big milestone for you. Now that you've met this goal, it's time to re-evaluate...I'm fairly certain the clinical definition for what we ALL are includes words like "sick", "addicted" and "obsessed".
Keep it up...
