Nice time. I would put a line-lock on it. Makes it much easier, better for the car also.

there have been plenty of heated discussions and strong opinions on this subject in the past years. some of those personalities have moved on the the C6 Z06 or just faded away. especially if you're learning a new car, comp mode is the right thing on the track, and for most mortals, full AH on is the right thing for street driving.

enjoy your new car, you already have very respectable times.
