That's awesome! You don't "need" a track rental. Seeing that suboptimum launches = 11.30's, you could always let off the gas at the 1/8th mile until you get an awesome launch, so you don't get booted all the time. I know when I leave if I have a bad launch in my C5Z06(all my launches suck b/c the clutch can't hold) I say a 1.69 60 foot and you'll secure a solid 10.90.

Yep. Cecil is a quick track. Enjoyed the few times I made it out there when I was living in Alexandria, VA for a year.

In fact, that's where I met CHRISPY, so it must be a great track.

NICE NUMBER & CAR.I WOULD LOVE TO GET A VICTORY RED ON, BUT 66000.00+ IS ALITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME. BUT IF THEY COME DOWN IN PRICE LIKE THEY DID ON 04 Z06'S AFTER I GOT MY COBRA .BELEAVE ME I LIKE MY COBRA BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GET A VETTE.

HERE A TIME SLIP FROM ATCO TUESDAY NIGHT.

That's a nice slip, hawkls1. Be proud of it.

The slip helps me understand this.

In my 11.31 pass, my 330'-1320' incremental was 6.317, while the 330' was 4.990.

In your 11.03 pass, your 330'-1320' incremental was 6.368, while the 330' was 4.663. Your superior leave and hook on the the 1-2 shift are the difference. After than we were generally even with me having a slight .05 pull on you.

If I had your 330' and my 330'-1320', my pass would have been 10.980, which is my near term goal on DRs. My 11.31 was on stock tires.

So the issues I am contenting with are (1) Knocking .33 off the first 330' (2) doing that by running DRs and finding an alternative launch technique that drives around the LS7 "torque management" algorithm" that's holding back a hard launch And then (3) getting some better hook on my 1-2 shift.

Don't mean to ramble on. But your slip helped me visualize a path.

Thanks for the assistance.

Especially since the slip says it was 162 degrees F outside

hawkls1

this slip is wrong.it was 58* 49% 30.31baro.

I would get some drag tires and see what happen then you are prombly going to have to do somethinf to get rid of the torqe management with a new tune(flash).I beleave that the new Z06 will run 10's, but not stock and on street tire.

EVEN ON MY COBRA I CAN NOT POWER SHIFT SECOND WITHOUT BRAKING LOOSE WITH M/T DRAG RAD.

I am simply amazed at the car's performance and your ability as a driver. Definitely something to shoot for when I get my Z06. I have always been on the fence about modding it once I have it, but with my formula as my modded toy I'm leaning on keeping the Z stock, this gives me more reason too. Congrats on the runs and as many others have said, you have some amazing driving abilities.

I'll be out in VA next year when I get back to the states so maybe we'll get a chance to meet up someday.

Ranger

Hey, Toonz. Thanks for the kind remarks. And thanks for your service in the cause of freedom.

I'd enjoy hooking up, shaking your hand and swapping stories.

Probably can arrange a few launches in the C6Z too.

Drop me a PM when you're back this way. Stay safe.
