I did already say that I am not under the impression that my car is as fast as a C6 Z06. The V.R. car ran at least two more MPH than me so he obviously has more power to weight than I do.

Are you keeping a spreadsheet with calculated incrementals? If you're not, a new path for improvement awaits.

Win, Lose, or Draw... a match up like the one you drove is always an awesome, super-fun, experience. Even so, winning is always more fun. Congratulations on a great run against a great car.
Wow!

How do you compare many runs? Are you doing a data extract into a spreadsheet?
How do you correlate this data to the times and incrmentals of your time slips?
Data posted shows you hit 6705 rpms in 2d, if I'm reading it correctly. Has your limiter been raised through edits of the PCM?
TIA,

Hey Ross,
you short shifted 1-2 & 3-4. & hit the limiter?? 2-3....LOL
I want you to log one of my runs Saturday if you show. You were supposed to do it for me before but you didn't go back to the track!

Hey Ron...
I didn't short shift and I didn't hit any limiters. The scan cycle for my OBDII scan tool is not instantaneous so I probably revved higher in first and third and shifted before it got a chance to read the RPM PID. I did not hit the limiter in 2 when I was in gear with the clutch engaged. It is possible that I did kiss it when I pushed the clutch in to shift to third, but I didn’t feel or hear anything that made me think I did. All of my limiters are at their stock values (6600 RPM). I am also running stock timing, stock MAF tables, and the stock A/F ratio.
I don’t think I will be there on Saturday the 18th.
