This particular vette also when it trapped 115 beat another vette that runs consistent 120-121 mph and then backed it up by racing him again and running door to door all the way to 160? How does that happen? Its the street and anything can happen. And vettes are absolutely amazing from a roll. I cant even remember how many cars ive beat that ran a better et and had more mph.....in this case....he beat me and there is a good chance i will run faster at the track.
All that proves is the car wasn't driven good at the track or had traction issues. The cars that trapped higher at the track were driven better. The vette still ran the same as usual he just couldn't get out the hole.

Yes you know exactly what the op is going thru because you are in the same position. We'll see what happens once you figure out how to launch.

Actually aero starts coming into play at as little as 40mph.

Limiter as you know on cf theres
A guy with 07 ls2 m6 with just bolt ons and a 3.90 diff ran a 11.2 with tire mod.. He can bang gears and it just let's you know what the ls2 c6 could do. I know there's a lot
Of factors when drag racing.. This car maybe 400hpish I would reckon and gears

I think the bolt-on record for a ls2 c6 is 10.7.

Gears will help any car dramatically for drag racing! Ive just seen it so many times where the faster car at the track gets beat on the street. Thats why the street is so fun to me.

I'm not a big gear fan. I use it more as a tuning tool then slap gear in something and expect it to go. I have taken gear out of the 2 cars I have hotrodded and went faster.

Yep.....changed from 4.11 and the car went faster. I don't think 3.73's would hurt it any. Actually when the ls7 goes in I will probably run 3.73'sonce it is sorted out. Gear is a tuning tool. If you rely on gear to make your car quick/fast then you simply don't have enough motor......or you have a real narrow power band and tq that sucks.

Well no kidding lol, obviously the more power the less gear you need. Alot of gear and high hp = spin fest. So obviously you gear your car according to your power levels.
