Good runs OP!
And I thought I just needed to learn how to drive again, haha.
Going from my 4th gen to the C6 is a big difference. I know I have years of seat time in the Camaro, but I feel like I can drift that thing all day, were as when the *** end comes out on the C6 it gets dramatic quick... just need more practice, I guess!
That spin was hilarious lol. Nice run though!
I was amazed at how poor traction is on a C6, and even more surprised how mild(useless) the stock TC is. At first I thought I was overreacting from being spoiled by a full drag prepped suspension but they are a handful! My bone stock LS3 with Eagle F1s absolutely massacres the tires in first and second, and the rear almost always yanks violently to the left. I can't imagine adding another whopping ~70hp/40tq on top of that with the LS7! That is also with TC + Stability control both turned on. It is definitely a "performance" TC - not your average "hit-a-brick-wall-as-soon-as-the-tires-spin" like many cars have. If you are getting on a C6+ expecting TC to save your ***, you are in for a rude awakening. I have driven LS3 Camaro's with the same power and they do NOT behave as dramatically.
I guess that's why people wrecking Z06s and ZR1s are so common...they are downright difficult to launch from a dig or low roll, even bone stock. I might even go so far to say they are just plain dangerous on street tires...and I have driven some straight up death traps on the road lol.

Old stingray style 68-82 vettes had a odd feel do to that. You almost set on the rear tire in those cars.

How so? Are you aftermarket twins? Big Single? I'm JB4, FBO, Race BEF, and a single 450 with no venturi hold my fuel pressure 75ish during a whole run with half a tank of e85. Logs show no difference between about e40 on up, so I just dump 6-7 gallons in and let it rip.

I wish I had convenient e85 to run in my 135i. Hell, highest octane I can get is 91 unless I go to the track..
