Raced again
For those not familiar
Me= 07 ls2 w/vararam and flowmasters no tune
My brother= 08 ls3 stock
raced at http://www.alteredgas.com/index.html

Both of us had comp. mode on

I won (ls2) 3 outta 4 races. Both of us could not get too much traction. Hot day 88+ degrees high humid 80%. Great fun!!!

 

Times?

 

Are these more of those ridiculous races with absolutely 0 timing measures?

 

The ls2 should have a slight edge over the ls3 with a vr and headers,
but not by much. And a lot would be in the driver there.

 

The ls2 doesnt have headers as far as I can tell

 

Go to a real track, ya not time havin' vette owner,you.It doesn't mean anything with out that slip,brotha!

 

I see South Park's Jimmy & Timmy are at it again
Go to the track and post some time slips...........

NewsFlash: you don't race C6s in comp mode

 

No dragstrips around us jerk!!! Maybe I should crack your skull in the your avatar. I'm posting this for fun but a_ _ _ole's like you take the fun outta it.

 

No Headers
Go to the web site for info about the drag races.

 

Go to the web site. No times. Over 300 cars race for fun at airports. There are over 500 spectators.

 

You can stand around and LOOK at your car. I want to race mine. YOU SEE WE DON"T HAVE ANY DRAGSTRIPS CLOSE TO US. We race at airports JUST FOR FUN!!!!

 

Who says you don't drag in comp mode? TC off would be a bit more AH safety but comp mode works too.

 

Thanks

 

This is the essence of launch that I've developed through 578 drag strip passes.

Before doing launches at the track, you need to turn off Traction Control.

You want the setting that allows wheel spin but retain Active Handling or Stability Control.

In a C5 Corvette you want to be in Competitive Driving mode.
In a C6 Corvette you want to be in Traction System Off mode.
Other platforms will have different descriptive settings.

Lower your stock rear tire pressure to about 25 psi (hot).

The exact pressure varies by platform, tire model, and track conditions. The goal is to remove 15-20% of the air, again "hot."

This will increase the size of the tire's contact patch with the launch surface and cushion the shock to the drive line on launch and shifts.

I recommend a launch procedure with three deliberate elements that are inter-related and must be coordinated.

(1) the launch rpm

(2) the clutch release

(3) the throttle squeeze

Hold the launch rpm and then quickly but smoothly release the clutch with full engagement occurring over the first 3-10 feet of forward movement, depending on conditions.

Don't feed more throttle until the tires are hooked.

Then and only then, squeeze the throttle progressively to the floor.

Drag radials will take throttle quicker than stock tires but even on DRs it's still a "squeezing" action rather that just "hammering it" to the floor in one movement.

The goal is getting a bit of wheel spin which gives way to a rapid rise in engine rpm, rather than a bog. If it bogs, raise the launch rpm a few hundred on the next time. If it spins too much, lower the launch rpm a few hundred on the next pass.

Finally, it takes seat time and passes to embed the techniques in muscle memory and learn to read what surface conditions dictate on any particular day.

I urge avoiding the classic launch error: engaging the clutch and hammering the throttle simultaneously.

You have a C5, so you go in comp mode

 

Then buy yourself a G-Meter and get some 1/4 times with that........

There are practically NO 1/4 mile times on an LS3s ......... everyone wants to see some numbers around here, not a description........

This Wed I'll be at a track, so I'll post up my time slips

 

Yeah slow moving time slips

 

Why slips? I thought the winner was the car that was ahead at the end of the race.

 

I Agree

 

you you you





can't wait to school you!!!!!!
