Default Ran a modded Z06...

Heading to work a blue Z06 pulls in up ahead. I see its lowered and can hear his exhaust. I pull up next to him and give a rev. He tells me to hold on and I see him hitting some buttons and a small screen in front of him? I'm thinking great, I picked on the wrong guy. We leave from a slow roll and I sit still through 3rd gear. I thought my clutch just gave out. We then pulled onto a long open road and he pulled up at 50mph and signalled he was ready. He took off and I pulled on him pretty good. We ran 4 or 5 times with the same results. This was my first time to spray with my new setup and it felt great, much less against a Z06. He told me he was making 417rwhp. We both complimented one another's cars and went our separate ways.

It takes about 30 seconds to load Comp mode = traction control off/ active handling on.....keeps the car straight

I need to get my suspension set up and then I'll take it. I figure it'll run mid to low 11s as it sits now.

While rolling it seems to take longer, even a second time--sometimes for my Z????
