Default Got to lo....

Love your zo-6,
Had it out on the main drag and some hiway. Tires were trying to
grab, making one heck of a stink. 54 and sunny wooooooo
and never had the mat. These babies with a good tune and some extra air coming in are monsters.

translation....hello fellow corvette enthusiasts. Today I took my Z06 out on the main roads and the highways. As I used the accelerator pedal, I realized that I wasn't getting any traction. The tires were spinning and I could smell burning rubber. Good thing that traction control was on.

Competition mode is a good thing. Before getting my new BFG drag radials, I was trying to get some VTech times on my bone stocker with SC's having only a fairly gentle 9.5 k miles of them. I had zero traction--burning all the way through first and second (and quitting at that point) while trying for minimal wheelspin.
