Video--11.55 117.69 Pass 2002 Z06 CAI & DRs I've edited this video from 2002 and uploaded it to YouTube.
It remains the only perfect pass I've ever driven. Density Altitude was 1200'.
11.55 117.69
The splits were:
60'..............1.647
330'............4.814
660'............7.419 @ 93.24
1000'..........9.663
1320'........11.556 @ 117.69
Tires were BFG 315.35.17 drag radials, same tire I'm now running on my 2006 Z06.
It took me 150 more passes and much better weather to finally beat that pass, and it was by the slimmest margin of .03 seconds.
Car dynoed 363 rwhp and 350 rwtq with the CAI installed. So the power was unexceptional. But it was and remains a fast, reliable car by any measure.
It gave me 30K street miles as a daily driver and 350 passes at the drags without breakage. And the car is now giving good service to its third owner.
Clutch pedal never acted up either, due to my fluid changing protocol.

Thanks gents.
Happy to assist.
Plan is to have all this in DVD form later this year. Watch at your leisure and review, as needed, to work through plateaus and issues. All the facts on techniques, in one place, with logged-data, pass and in-car vids, and commentary to reinforce the teaching points. Won't be cheap. But should help impart to a broader audience the lessons I've learned through six years of personal R&D in 570 passes driving three Z06s
A key ingredients to that process are video and audio of all the discrete elements. The sights and sounds fill in crucial dimensions missing from word pictures on the web.
And thanks for the offer on your car, Sigforty. I'll keep that in mind for after the DVD is in distro.
