Car weighs 3565 with me in it and roll bar, and has 100% stock C6 suspension, gears, rearend, transmission. This is the exact way I run my car daily on the street. It also does not have a Z06/ZR1 diff in it, so with my heavy Fbody wheels out back, I am limited to about a 1.55-1.60 60ft. With my old C5Z06 wheels, I would feel better hitting the car harder.

Sorry for no go-pro cameras or other cameras tonight. I just drove out there out tonight just to get a few shakedown passes in the car and see what I want to adjust.

This pass was the first of 3. No cool down, 40 mile drive that took 1.5 hours since there was heavy traffic.



I let the rpm's creep up a little too high on the second pass, and had a bad 60ft when I slipped the clutch. 1.72 short time and missed a gear. Only video, which I asked a spectator to take, of me.

Third pass, I had "hightechcorvette" forums plug in all their g force meter equipment, and had cameras and audio equipment hanging all over the inside and outside of the car.

This was the 9 second pass coming. Nailed the 60ft and shot out hard! I new if I ripped the gears, this was the 9.95-9.99 pass easily since the DA was right and the car was cool.



Missed 2 gears and started to hear what I think is the transmission grinding(probably just a rusty driver and missing gears). I let out for a brief second on the second missed shift, and then went back in. MPH went way, way down, so I hope everything is ok and will check it out this weekend.

All in all, for not driving the car in 10 months with no seat time, I was happy to get 1 clean run and not break. I should have new times with an upgraded blower soon and spray. D98gt thinks a 75 shot in 2-4th should get me another 4mph, so hopefully close to 150mph soon.

Big thanks to Wally & Auto Adrenaline Performance, Bill, Jeff, Joe, ECS, A&A, Dallas Performance and the guys for helping me through a dreadful 2011. The experience of guys that actually race their cars and know what they are doing goes a long way in this business. :yesnod:

An absolute fantastic end to 2011.

 

Glad to here this Mark. I was hopeing you would get it up and running again soon. I'll see you out there next time.

 

Congrats those are great numbers especially considering the size of the supercharger/engine, and the race weight. look forward to seeing future numbers.

 

Hey, Mark....way to go man! 10.08 is awesome and over 140 mph too. Glad to see you are creeping to within a hair of 9 seconds. I bet the extra torque from your stroked engine helps. I'll bet 9 second passes are around the corner with more seat time/ passes.

Congrats!

 

damn that is bad *** mark! i hope to be back on the track early next month so ill grab that right lane with u next time!

 

Mark FTW!

 

Nice man

 

Nice mph!

 

Thanks, guys!

I need to get a little weight out of the car. A drag pack or GTO wheel/C5z06 rear wheels will probably be a good start. I sold 3 sets of z06 wheels lately, and wish I would have kept them. The Fbody wheels are heavy. I think that in itself, will get me down to the low 1.5 60ft times. I'm worried about the stock rear running the heavy Fbody wheels.

I plan on going with a little bigger blower, then putting the bottle on the car for 2nd-4th gears soon.

I'm very happy with the results, and help from the guys in Houston and Wally's shop.

 

And a little 1-2 gear pull and tial 50 bov sound at the end.

Nice!

 

Nice numbers. Soooooo close to 9's

 

10.doh! Way to go Mark. After all those headaches you are getting some results.

 

Car is rolling out!

Awesome to see how those LS3 + blower cars run!

 

'cept its a 402 now.

 

10.08 with more left Nice. 10.00 is what my BB Monza ran and no way streetable. I love these cars.

 

Mark doing work, maybe even more work in 2012 with some upgrades

 

I'm going to pour one out for your trans/diff Mark.

 

It's only money Bruce; you know that!

 

Pour that chit to a headgasket swap at the minimum, Bruce.
