I was finally was able to borrow my buddies video camera. He shot some video of me back in December making passes in the car. I made a short film clip of the first pass, because after I downloaded it from the camera, the battery went dead. There may be video of some better passes, and if so, I will post them later. The one thing that you really notice in this clip is how much the stock intake whistles if you are in front of the car. This pass is leaving @ around 6600 on Et Streets.


There are two versions I made, a lo-res 600K, and a high-res 9.2meg

Please right click on the link, and do a save as. Don't stream the video, as you will blow my allocation at my ISP right out of the water. Thanks.

I think this video was shot either on this trip

or this one

There is no line lock on the car, that is just power braking. The 300 in the video waited until I ran, and then ran a bye run also. But, that allowed for me to get video of just me running. The next video which I also have a couple of seconds of is me running a modded Cobra.

As for the heat
Sunday was entirely too hot. With the temps like they were, a decent time was completely out of reach. Sunday, my car was down .5-.6 and 5 mph over what it runs in the winter time.

When I left the shop, it was 100 degrees and the humidity was high. I think @ 7PM it was still in the high 90's. You won't get a good run like that.

My best pass Sunday was

60 - 1.717
330 - 5.065
1/8 - 7.836
mph - 89.56
1000 - 10.195
1/4 - 12.187
mph - 113.15

This was identical to the configuration I have in the video except the tires were @ 16psi since the track was a bit greasy. The heat was just killing HP Sunday.

 

Those weren't radials right? Because I have learned that radials run better with normal air pressure and without doing a burnout. I have not completely tested this myself but have heard it from very reliable people. If they are radials next time try one round not doing a burnout and not lowering the air pressure or anything. If it doesn't work then keep on what you're doing. By the way what do yuo have done to the car?

 

They were Et Streets which are a bias ply.

As for radials I would disagree. I run my rears at 22psi, the fronts at 50 to cut rolling resistance. I do a burnout on them and I lauch @ 6200-6600 slipping the clutch on the radials which will net around a 1.74-1.77 60'.

The car is stock except for the Et Streets. I have removed the stock airbox lid and replaced it with two wire ties. Other than that, the car is as delivered from GM...

The pass in the video was in the 11.6-11.7 range.

 

Wow, awesome video and awesome car. Ever track tested a stock LS1 M6? On similar tires with a similar 60', you could probably could go low 12s.

BTW, this was at HRP right?

 

I have driven a buddies 98 when it was new, but not @ HRP. He went some 13.07's with the car with 400 miles on it.

The Video was shot @ HRP.

 

J-Rod Dam lol Nice Driver i would say. that a good time i see at my local track Z06-405h.p and i just see them run 12's none 11's lol your 1 great man keep up and good luck. anymore videos just post them

 

that's a bitchin launch for a mostly stock z06 man! What was your 60 foot on that run?
