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

Change your burn out technique by doing a little spin in the water box, then do your burn out five feet from where you are doing it. You are throwing water under your wheel wells and not getting the tires to temp.

You change your tune or something? Thought you ran some mustangs that went deep 9s at 140s traps and you got them by several cars. Figured you’d go low 150s

FBO NA z06’s run 141 mph? I’ve never seen one even remotely close to that but our local track is very slow so who knows I guess.....

You don’t need to spin in the water box. Just drive through it slowly. But I agree he should pull forward a bit for the burnout.

Probably only the hero gutted and cut up shop cars. But I agree. Even proper HCI ones are probably 135ish cars in average weather

Yeah, 141 is not where factory C6 Zs run. They run around 124-126mph.

Chris, I'd say you did very well in that outing. Nice driving. It will only get better with more visits and more practice.

That's my local track. Officials used to wave guys up out of the water box when they would try to burnout there. Not sure why they don't anymore.
