Default Back at the track! Not as good air! 10.69

-300 da
10.69
I mashed the brake and held the throttle, this yielded the best 60'. RMP would hold to about 2500. DO you think at some point a TUNE would raise the Launch rpm? I am assuming my technique was GM's Launch control. Getting out of the hole faster would result in a much better time.

Nice!
Did you launch off idle again?
Did you try to manually shift at redline at all this time?
I thought you were attending a rental,no?

I was at the track with Jason this morning running my '14 911 TT. I was spinning on launches and went 10.9. The C7 Z06 was .2-.3 quicker and 2-3 mph faster than the Turbo same day, same track within minutes of each other. Would have been nice to do some side by side racing but left lane was race cars only. It appears the A8 Z06 will prove to be quicker and faster than the 911 Turbo, including the S.

Great job, Jason.

Have you run it on factory stock tires? Would be great to know what it'll do on those as a comparison to drag radials.

Nice runs.

Nice runs.
I agree. I think the factory PSC 2s would yield better e.ts and traps. This pass has also set a milestone. It just beat the best ever pass by a C6 Z06 by Ranger, stock with DRs. Ranger had a better DA if I remember correctly. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1579518528
