C6 1/4 Mile Performance Challenge
Also many, Ranger and a few others come to mind, will tell you in a minute what DA their times were run in. Especially if it was an unusually low time. Some actually post the DA to further bolster their claim as if to say "no this was not run under optimum conditions" or "yes, I know this was run in ideal conditions."
Finally most people who run an unusually quick time will readily tell you that DA played a huge role in it. They will sometimes even give the weather conditions in the description of the run. It is curious that you are not as quick to acknowledge the same thing. Sure it was a great run. But it should be, and indeed will be, like it or not, pointed out by many, that it was run at a usually very well prepped track and at a negative DA.
Would I have actually publicly asked Redgar what the DA was in MY OWN thread, well knowing that the air was good and it could potentially detract from my accomplishments on these boards, if I was curiously trying to hide something? No, I didn't come right out and say that the DA was relatively low or that track prep was good. But I also didn't blatantly state that my car has only 700 miles on it (it WILL get faster with more miles) or that there were cross and even headwind gusts of up to 25mph either, both of which would HELP my claims. That track prep by the way meant little to NOTHING for my car was bogging horribly on launch, I should've run higher pressures in the rears and/or done less of a burnout, then maybe I would've been able to utilize some of that better traction that was available to me and it would've then also been more of a factor in this discussion.
while I will claim that not all automatics are quite that simple to launch/race well, this was by far the easiest car I've ever had the pleasure of racing at a drag strip.Please be sure to go tell them all to give their trophies back.
But it can hardly be used for bragging rights.
When a guy says, his car is the "Quickest bone stock automatic Corvette ever?" and "Considering that the C6 autos are all faster than the C5 autos and that the C5 autos are generally faster then the C4s, is it possible that I own the fastest automatic Corvette sold to the public since like 1971? Maybe ever? Gotta do some research on that."
All that based on being at the top of that list, well I sure hope he is just kidding.
But on the other hand if YOU were the one running the quickest time of it's type and were yet still humble enough (I'm not an egotistical person by any means, just want my piece of the pie
) to not even remotely mention the possibility that you might be THE fastest then I will accept some criticism/denial of my claims. Until then, show me the proof of a quicker/faster factory bone stock automatic Corvette (I do still believe that an L-88 or ZL-1 automatic might actually be quicker even on the crappy bias plies they came with) otherwise I still have to stand by my trivial and meaningless claims.
And as I've joked about previously, I do know that I have the fastest bone stock Velocity Yellow/black interior/comp grey wheeled automatic Corvette in Union County on a Wednesday, NO ONE can take that away from me.
Yes, Edgar stated that his weather station read approxiamately -300 around noon or so.

You saying that they have different amounts of torque management in them?

This was at Orlando Speedworld tonight. According to the corresponding METARs for Orlando airport, the DA was +243ft at the time I raced:
12.795 @ 112.17 mph
Also got a new best trap of 112.52 mph, although that was with a slower ET of 12.881 since I screwed up the 60' time. Anyhow, I've no doubt the car has 12.6's and possibly 12.5's once I get better, with the current DA conditions. I'd be interested in seeing what she could do at a better location with negative DA.
Here's a couple pics the girlfriend took:

Headers and converter, easy 11's.

Remember though, it is getting warmer out, from here on, your times will get worse until October....I'll be in touch, you should come up to Island with us for a bunch of practice runs...Poor track, lots of passes though.....We go almost every Friday night...
