Stock C6Z w/DR's 11.09@126.73mph NOW with video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLrnA9XXQgQ
Well got to get rid of that cabin fever at cecil county dragway today. Took the bone stock C6Z down with 4+year old 275/40/17 mickey thompson drag radials that were bald. The weather was really great with a slight cross wind. The track wasn't hooking the greatest and learning this car is gotta be one of the most difficult launching cars i've met besides a Supra TT. I made my first pass shortly after driving 1.5hours to get there was 11.52. Let the car cool down a little went back up and ran alot better doing 11.35. I was really happy after that run. Just dissappointed at the 60fts being in the mid 1.8's. So I pull back around for another run looking for better and the whole day got the F'ME mod. I was told slow it down or i'll be asked to park or leave. So that means 11.5's or slower.
So I parked and bitched to myself for a while. I came back up and did some launching and 1-2shifts but I could not figure out the launch. I tried higher and the 60ft got worse. I kept wheel hopping and spinning. Then I finally made the big mistake and tried launching how i felt the car should be launched. Rolled into the gas really hard with a fast release of the clutch and the RPM's climbed and the clutch said "NOPE not gone do it". So I let the car cool down a hour and tried to run the car and had another horrible 1.90 60ft and missed 3rd. My friend with a 98 Trans Am with cam/fast intake/9in rear/full exhaust, 2step, 150shot w/nano/28in ET streets/skinnies etc etc wanted to run me heads up. So i had to get the game face on and make a cannonball run 
I was rewarded with the win over his car and my new best with only my 5th full pass in the car. He ran 10.91 at 129mph to my 11.09 at 126.73. I cut a better light of .243 to his .515 which was enough to keep me ahead to the end
Weather was greaty in the mid to upper 40's. Heres the break down of the slips of the full passes.

The car has alot more in it with better driving. My shifts were ok not great. Especially my 2-3-4's IMO. The launch needs to be upper 1.6x's and the MPH to be around 127.5+. I learned alot today with the car. The car must be cooler to run the better ET/MPH's. Similar to the C5's in that 180deg's before launching is definitely good. I made a pass at 220* and that thing was worthless!!! I think if i could get the car around 170* at launch time on another great weather/DA day like today I think i can easily hit my goal of 10.999999 at 127mph. Just need that great launch.
Speaking of launching wow is this thing picky! Just a little to much gas and zoom clutch goes up in smoke. To light and she bogs, to slow of a release rolling into the gas gives you 1.8's-1.9's. I tried going up to 4000rpm and the car spun and hopped. Dropped to 3000-3200rpm (knowing this after reading up on rangers runs) and the damn thing did its new best. If you had a clutch that could take it this thing could FLY!
I'll get the video from my friend and post a pic of the slip and car with the # on it very soon Thanks for watching everyone... look for faster times to come hopefully soon.... at another track :toetap:
FYI I know that i'm lucky to have a track close to sea level, great weather/DA, good track prep all are a huge help and not everyone has this.

Just got everything figured out weather wise. DA was approx +15 to -40 DA. So damn good weather but not -1000 like it can be I think with some practice and some -1000 DA, lower on gas, run the washer fluid empty,maybe some better rear tires I think there could be a 10.899999 in there! Then we're talking 10.4's with the bolt on plan. Car runs REALLY GOOD Very happy with that. Disgusted with being kicked out

Yes but according to steve2003z06 i think is his name he got the boot also for going sub 11.49999 with no roll bar at MIR. I'm not sure what to do this year about the car. I want to race it out completely not just 1000ft and jam on the brakes all the time.
