[QUOTE="dgdoc, post: 12227301, member: 122178"] I think people forget that when the C6 Z06 first came out, everyone struggled with the clutch and getting good 60' times was a real challenge. It was thought that the clutch was flawed and would ultimately limit the performance of the car. People also believed that the engine computer (PCM) would invoke various nannies to protect the drive train and this would also prove to limit the performance - unless all of these protections were disabled. In 2006, I believe the fastest bone stock C6Z time was turned in by Ranger with an 11.29. Five years later, the times came tumbling down with the fastest time now at 10.715 (Ranger) --with NO MODS other than the "driver mod". There are now a total of 7 drivers who have turned in 10 second (bone stock) passes -- in 2006 there were none. This happened because the drivers learned what worked and what didn't and over time adjusted to the unique characteristics of the Z06 clutch. engine, Torque Management, and other factors. After being part of this in the Z06 world, I'm pretty confident that the same will happen with the '13 GT500 and that we will see the times come down as drivers get more seat time, learn what works, and share their experiences and knowledge with other racers.
