Bolt On 335i vs C6 Z06 Not much racing going on lately, so me and a buddy tried out his stock Z06 against the 335i from a 20 roll with the 335i getting the hit.
335i = Bolt Ons, Street Tires, Pump Gas.
C6 Z06 = Truly stock with NT05R’s on 19” wheels

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.

Doesn’t help that eagle F1’s are complete trash.
I never have the tc or any of that stuff on in my car. As soon as I get in it I hold the button down until it’s all off. Been doing that since it was stock. When it’s on and can do some weird **** and send the car another direction. It’s safer to have it all off.

With TC Off the throttle response is even more terrible though
. I hate the throttle tune on these cars, it is soggy as hell until ~50% throttle...and feels even worse with TC off which makes no sense. Guess I need a tune or whatever the heck that Vitesse or w/e box is I've seen mentioned. I will try with TC off though since you are correct - the car responds "weird" for lack of a better word under heavy acceleration with it on, and it is unpredictable.I know its apples to oranges since the TQ delivery is different, but I had F1s on my turbo lexus that made an easy 70+ more hp and while they weren't great, they hooked a lot better on that 500hp car then on the ~435hp Vette and didn't randomly yank to one side. It was a medium S360, so was already building boost at 3k so it wasn't a total dog down low like most JZ builds. With the C6 I can punch it 5 times in a row and each time it will decide to snap the rear at different speeds and RPMs.
Absolutely love the damn car though...so much fun to drive.
