We are thinking of trying the 28" tire which will cut a better 60' but we are concerned that the loss in gearing will slow the car down especially since we're not seeing excessive wheelspin on the runs.
Since we cannot get the PCM to buzz over 8000rpms we need a quick solution before the end of the season so swapping tires will be the easiest thing right now to change.
Our options are a 28" drag radial or a 26" slick; both will keep the rpms below 8000 going thru the traps but we still can't shift this car above 8000rpms.
Even if the taller tire doesn't et better it would be nice to see a 1.2x short time out of this 6speed vette.
The suspension is stock with qa1 shocks on all 4 corners.
We'll keep you posted.

He could get unbanned, there was some arguing and it got old. I banned him because you can't run a site with a couple thousand active posters and not active decisively when an argument become a big distraction in a given forum. I told him/them last year they could get unbanned. Nobody should have hard feelings we are all in our 20/30/40/50's and can get a long.

I would like to see Robz unbanned, nice to see you agree as well.
Can we make this happen soon?

Rob's car is so badass...
You could pull up to him at a light and think nothing was done to it at all. It idles smoothly and quietly. Light turns green and he's gone. So much fun to watch. It blows my mind how fast he can shift.
I never get tired of watching the videos.
