"Made a few passes at Atco on Monday at a well organized rental attended by an enthusiatic group for Corvette and F-body owners. Many thanks TSAB, robz, Scott, Jason, Steve, the cartek crew, and many others who contributed to a fun day. Also thanks to Corey who shot the vids using my HD camcorder.

The pass was on 275.40.17 MT ET Street Radials. Splits were:

60'........1.684 (3600 rpm launch)
330'......4.749
660'......not recorded @ not recorded
1000'.....9.330
1320'...11.125 @ 124.97

The 1320' trap is low due to a low barometer (29.38 on my TAG Weather Station).

I kissed the limiter twice on this 11.12 pass. Unusual for me. I found that the rhythm of the LS7 was a bit different on the MT Radials than the 345 BFGs I've been running.

An attempt with a 4000 rpm launch and a quick clutch release glazed the finicky LS7 clutch. So raising the launch rpm much above 3600 will not improve the 60'/330' with a stock clutch.

Back to the track at MIR on Sunday Oct 29th.

Best to all,

Ranger"

Yeah, I've been following this guy "Ranger" on the Corvette boards for awhile now.......He is one of the top dogs with the C6Z crowd and he is bone stock.

For 70K+ I'd hope it would be running low 11s.

+1.7 billion :beer:

Granted, the car's quick and the driver is good. But for that kind of dough, if it weren't I'd be driving it back onto the lot and asking for a refund.

since you can't drive, don't bother wasting the dealers time then. :poke:
