What kind of 60ft times are "possible" for the stock clutch?

When I had my C5Z I posted a slip over there and they all called BS and locked it. It was just one of those freakish runs and I ran 11.8? with a quick 60ft. I don't know why they thought I would lie. The only reason I visit that site now is to look for parts in the for sale section.

I dont see a 1.505 being impossible. Good run

 

got a link?

does that post have more proof then the one you posted on CF?

 

Have you driven a c6Z?
Have you launched one with street tires, drag radials?


The bs flag goes up alot to almost everyone at some point.
Tell us about your run.

 

man, i am on cf.com and it sucks. most of the people over there wont answer questions, or ask stupid questions themselves. i know everyone starts somewhere, but jeesh. they are uptight ****** too. i met up with some of them, its all a bunch of old farts driving 55 in a 65 zone, washing and waxing their cars all day. ****** gay. im 23, have a Z06 and want to drive it like it was meant.

i dont see why you would lie, and i hope you arent. ranger is a bitch imo.

 

 

yeah they make it sound like you have to go to college to drive a car. i have been driving cars at the dragstrips for 15 years longer then ranger. imean i had a 03 z06 first run out with drag radials 11.90. car had more in it but i beet my goal and just went home. and only go to the drags 10 times a year. to busy working since spring summer and fall are my work season. idid my 10.76 on my 12 pass in the car. would have had it sooner but they are right the cluthch does not seem to like hard lanches. but when it works look out.

 

I zoomed in on that timeslip above by 1600%. The pixels look untouched, so that rules out a digital altering. I'm convinced the timeslip itself is real, but I can't prove that it is for this particular car in question.

Any backup runs that were similar?

As for the clutch hitting a 1.50, I can see it happening. When I had my stroked 98 Formula it would cut 1.4s with a single disk clutch, pushing almost 3700 lbs. That car was 300-350 lbs heavier than a C6Z. You also do not need a lot of RPM to launch a stroker, I was dumping that Formula at 4500 rpm to get 1.4s.

Who knows? Without vids and confirmed proof the car is 100% stock, it is just our word against yours. If you truly want to prove this, back it up with witnesses.

 

I believe it is possible with the right conditions. Killer times and mph. Ranger is not a god.

Go get this on video and shut everyone the *uck up!!!

 

A little bit off topic but...My businesses are in car racing since 30 years+ and I see more often experienced drivers winning races than young guns...

Time is on the side of a winner, you can only become better with experience, which is age related.

BTW, how old are the official GM race car drivers, any clue???

And congrat for the quick time, have fun reproducing it event after event, and making it faster, that's about racing...

I've never been on a drag strip with a C6Z. Only on the street. I'm not sure what your point is.

I was simply saying that I believed the OP.

What run would you like to hear about? The 11.8? with my bolt on C5 Z06 on DRs? I don’t that those numbers are that unbelievable.

 

I have to say this, if you have not ran a C6 or a C6Z06 at the track with stock tune,it's a major pain, what with torque management to pull timing (up to 14 degrees of timing for .3-.4 tenths of a second on a good hard launch and each shift if the tires hook well), and if you're still on the factory runflats, consider yourself lucky if, after many attempts, you can pull off a 1.8-2.0 60ft. With DRs, the 60ft improve,but the TM percentage apllied is increased due to the amount of torque being placed to the diff. It's very difficult to get everything on a true stock C6 or C6Z06 to fall into place for a good run, thats why there is so many of both cars hitting high 12's and 13's.With that being said, all the bad mouthing here about Ranger is unwarranted. The guy does help out alot of other drivers get better 60fts and ETs from their Vettes.He also has TONS of documentation from all his runs and even has an on going series in a magazine. Kinda hard to call him a punk. Maybe it's jeolousy? The OP of this thread has been into a few forums with this claim and all the folks with any seat time in the C6/Z06s have shot down his "stock" claim. From what I saw, he either has an upgraded clutch and tune or he got extremely lucky on one pass with all conditions perfect.I lean more towards the former.I think it's a bs claim to try and take a stab at Ranger's time or Ranger himself for some silly reason or another.Notice alot of his "boosters" always have an almost noob status on whatever forum he posts and that the content of his posts in other forums vary from almost elementary school level to more educated,like several people are posting under the same account. If the OP has such a bone to pick with Ranger,set up a meeting and go heads up after being cleared as "bone stock". If not, it's all just your word vs many who think it's BS.

 

 

wow, that guy is pissing and moaning like a fat 12 year old who ran out of xmas candy

 

My point is that we all know certain clutches can cut even low 1.4x's on stock suspension in our vettes. But if you have experience with the stock c6Zo6 clutch you would understand that the clamping force of the clutch is the issue.Thousands of launches on this clutch have proven that. Plus most people don't understand the purpose of the original thread osted on the CF.

I'm sure your run albeit a very fine run was within the realm of what makes sense for your car according to what others have done. I get the BS flag all the time as well. I should be sticking up for the OP I see a bunch of alterior motives for the original thread.

 

why don't you enlighten all of us as to the purpose or the original thread on CF, or the alterior motives behind it?

 

From the first post I knew it was a bunch of bs. His username tells it all. You have people who hate on Ranger because of what he has done for our cars. To me the whole thread was to make ranger look bad. From the first time I met Ranger he did nothing but try to make me go faster. And the first time I met him I did not own a vette yet, watching him made me go buy my car. For all the people who talk bad about him, you don't know him. He does nothing but help anyone that needs it. His username has to do with a post that Ranger started a few weeks ago. He then also said that he went a 1.55 60' on stock tires, what are your thought on that? Later he then back paddles and say he meant e.t. streets, nice way to cover yourself.

 

Also when you race no time they don't give you the whole slip they only give you your side.

 

Pretty much what Malcolm said. There are alot of players that have been trying to stick it to Ranger for years. He is a nice guy and has helped alot of people. I'm trying to stay out of it and let people decide for themselves.

 

I said i ran the 1.55 on et streets i ran the 1.50 on drag radials.Not street tires. I switched from the et street to drag raidials because the et street was taller then my stock setup and caused me to stay in 3rd gear shuting off about 50ft befor crossing the finishline. I beleve that is what held me back from going tens sooner. Beleve me I was just as shucked as everyone else i was just guning for tens. I will answer any ??
