No 10s yet but ran a new m6 "cam only" PB!
Well I didn't break into the 10s today but I did run consistently faster than last year and managed a new PB. I still need to work on getting the car to 60'. Hopefully next time out I'll get her into the 10s. Big thanks to Rob (98blueSScamaro) for all the help.
Here's my best pass of the day.

Here's a vid of one of my 11.20 passes. I had the 2-step set at 6300 and tried a quick release rather then dumping the clutch. I kinda rushed through this process because it was the first time I'd ever tried it. So you can hear that I didn't actually launch at WOT off the 2-step which caused the car to bog. But this method did get me my PB 60' time of 1.51. Next time out I'm going to try this method again but keep the 2-step at 6500 and see if I can cut a 1.4x. I think if I keep the rpms up and actually launch off the 2-step I might have a little more success. Btw I hope ya'll enjoy my John Force style burnout!!!

Btw, I'm on a ***** f*cking mission now!!! Goning to order a light weight race battery today or tomorrow that will go in the stock location (Just need to decide which one, leaning towards the 11.5lb Braille). Also gonna ditch my fog lights, remove front plastics, cut out inner fender metal, and delete/cut out anything else I can think of. I want this thing to HOOK & BOOK!!!

Anybody have a recommendation on which battery to go with? I'm torn between the the Braille 11.5lb B14115 and the 15lb B2015. I'd like to go with the 11.5 if it will work for my setup. My car has minimal accessories i.e. no hvac, no a/c, no stereo....

congrats again Darren
The car surely has a 10 sec pass in it with a better 60ft. I bet as rob said if on the 2 step this could have been the best 60ft.
I would also work on the shift..I do not want to hear you let off ever again.

I want to hear something like this.
