Good times and fun runs last night. 50*F weather + street tires= ZERO traction! Man we were both spinning there most of the time but it was fun, even when I got completely sideways once and saw myself calling State Farm. Lol. Deffinately got to go at it again with my slicks and your FAST and tune. Thats one of the fastest stock motor C5Z06s Ive seen... if he's being honest. j/k. It was cool meeting up. Looking forward to the next ones.

..and thanks for the compliment and coming out so i could see where this thing stands. I was surprised to say the least. I thought I was going to get pulled on and put to shame, and to be looking down and see we are at 130mph and I'm still at your back bumper made me happy

Yeah you were close. Made me work to come around from a car back cuz your car would get a great jump. Gotta bring it up to 60mph nxt time...help the auto compete. We still gotta do a real run from a dig where we both hook.

What MPH did you start from? I know in my Vette there is a certain MPH range I dont even liek to race from. It just seems like it falls on its face.

I believe we were around 40mph and i was manually holding 2nd. Loses momentum since it shifts into 3rd so soon after that. Your basically doing a rd gear pull. For a slow roll I would need to be around 20-25mph to get 1st and all of 2nd which we tried but the street tires couldnt hang. Need to go from a dig with slicks.
