Finally get the C6 Z06 back to the track

[FNBADAZ06]

Finally !!!!!

First drag race event for me with the new setup. I've got a lot of relearning to due, as my "driver mod" skills are in some dire need of work...car revs considerably faster than before and I'm hitting the rev limiter. With a bit more seat time, I'll drop a good .2+ .

This was at Southwestern International Raceway in Tucson AZ...track elevation 3000+ . DA was 5300+ for our race, but still did OK for a striaght up N/A car

Thanks !!! A bit more seat time, I think a sub 1.50 60' is there....then things will get interesting :beer:

Thanks, Steve. Hopefully you get your engine tick sorted out and back on the road soon. Gotta get you out on the track with me one of these days :rockon:

Was hoping me and Camper's 700+ RWHP GT500 were going to line up, but that damn 2nd gear lockout was getting in the way.

10.77 @ 129 is outstanding. Nice runs. And yeah, the time slips will get even better with more seat time. I love your Vette, Victor!

Very impressive! I would like to see that car run witha good DA. I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt go 10.20s @ 135/138. @ sea level.

Def agree. Was surprised to see it in the 120s but that's actually really good for where you are.

Thanks, guys. Our drag racing season is just starting, but I don't have a roll bar in the car so getting track time without getting the boot may be more of a challenge since my home track (Speedworld) closed early this year. Firebird was really strict on the NHRA 11.50 rule, but they are under new management....maybe a slim chance, but doubtful. A number of us are thinking of heading out to Cali in February to get some sea level air.

Earlier this year, with just a cai, OEM ZR1 exhaust, and drag radials (stock tune), I hit a PB of 10.84@129 on a 1.53 60' at Speedworld with a DA of 900+......on a 68K mile original clutch LOL.Because of my cai, that put me in the bolt-on category for the C6 Z06 Fast List, where I hold the #10 position

Looking forward to seeing where I might end up with the new mods.

If your car is newer than 2008 I think the new rules allow 10.0 before cage. I "teenk" :shrug:

Unfortunetly, only if the car is completely stock.....down to the tires. :fm:
I've heard some tracks won't even honor that.

 

[earico]

Nice! Sick MPH considering NA and the DA!! Sea level she would be a straight up beast!

 

[FNBADAZ06]

Me vs 2013 GT 5.0 auto with a Whipple, meth.....who knows what else. Don't know the power level, but it went 9.9@139 earlier this year (I think) .

For this race, I'm running my CCW C14's that are 18x11's (they are my fronts I use for road racing), with Hoosier 315/30/18's. I normally run a 17x9.5 C5 Z06 front wheel with Hoosier 275/40/17 or 315/35/17. :thumbsup:
