Hi,

can anybody give me some advice on launching a stock C5Z06 (new stock goodyear tires) on a non-prepared track like an airfield-strip for example where there is no glue applied to the track?

I don't go drag racing all that often / much, the fastest I've been in the past was 12.8 on a track that had glue applied to the road (englishtown raceway in NJ). However here in Germany there are pretty much no "real" tracks, just drag-racing events on airfields etc.

I've only been once so far and I haven't been able to break into the 12s. I launch between 2500 - 3000, letting the clutch slip and feathering the gas until i feel grip and then put down the hammer, shifting just before redline. the fastest i've been was 13.191 @ 109.49 mph (here's a video) so i'm sure there is room for improvement...

any advice is welcome, thanks.

I 2nd that!

check your Clutch Master fluid out, if its dark ya need to suck it out some how and put new In, I do it to my Zo6 every month to keep it clean and that pedal feels nicer also
