Default First passes in the Zo6

Took the Zo6 to the track the other day. First time woth the blower set up and first time going down the strip in over a year lol so take it easy on me. The car is way faster then I can show but once I get more seat time I’ll get it where it should be. At least it works great from a roll haha

Nice job!

Hey, you're doing a lot better than me. I might have set the world record for slowest 60' on drag radials, and I ain't really getting any better at it either. LOL!

10.2 at 140 is making some steam. 9s pass once you get your 60 sorted!

You're expecting 6-8mph more? What makes you think that?

I’m no expert but on a street car. With a little refined driving or better weather (if there’s room for improvement) I can see 143-144 at that power/weight, realistically

Or....he may lose trap speed with a better 60ft.

EGOCHKR has the RPM B3 H/C N/A with 3:42 and here are his times - no blower (copy/paste with link)

** IIRC, boosted runs the B3 package with the blower

I'd personally think it should trap 145+ but now we are bench racing

If the car isn't setup and can't 60ft well the mph will go up once it can. Going from a 2.0 sixty to a 1.5 sixty I gained 14 mph. That said, its already in the 1.6's so I doubt it'll pick up 8 mph picking up another tenth or 2 in the 60ft.

Like I said diff cars do diff things. Mine has never picked up MPH with a better 60ft. But my MPH has gone up with a shittier 60ft.....

Lol, not proper sorted.

But if we are talking about going from a 2.4 to a 1.4....I can see all sorts of crazy swings in numbers happening.

even half a second in 60 is worth a major increase in MPH. Plenty of cars have done it. Its simply a matter of efficiency. When you don't put the power down from foot 0, you don't gain the speed you normally would.

I’m sorry!

So hypothetically speaking...if the op used his clutch like a converter and came close to a 2.5:1 TQ multiplication, what kinda 60ft would you expect?
