Must have had a slow shift, or didn't hook up well in 2nd. Faster 60', faster trap should equal faster ET.

I would normally guess that too but the consecutive runs I think were causing the engine to run a little but higher temps than normal. I tried to allow for cool down between runs but at 85 degrees it is hard to cool the car down. I did notice the mph was the same as previous but I would imagine had I let it fully cool down maybe the run would have been better, just speculating though. You never know, there might have been a slight headwind on that run

My 60 ft for that run was 1.742........but I have a problem with tapping the brakes because I use hand controls. When I push down on the controls (gas) I actually push alittle forward (brakes) and this you can see in my videos of the runs. The car's brake lights flashing after the 1/8 mile mark.

I was wondering if you guys will seperate the LS2's & LS3's when you start getting info on them. It should be interesting.

If not, that's okay, if those that post identify what the heck they're driving!

Should this be added. Stock A6 08

http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ad.php?t=81845

60ft. 2.00
1/8 8.14
mph 89.67
1/4 12.46
mph 116.55

It's still hot too. I bet we'll see 118mph stock 08's when the negative DA tracks cool down. I am definitely voting to separate the LS2's and LS3's.

Nah I don't think they will be separated at all, it would mean far too many sections and sublists for all of the various stock and modded categories and I think that's a lot to ask of Tommy D (or anyone else) to constantly maintain.
But yes it will be needed to specify which motor (or simply which model year?) the C6 has when requesting spots on the current lists.

Place the LS3 on the LS2 bolt on list since it has nearly 40 more hp than the LS2. That would be interesting.

There have been many suggestions with regard to changes to our list. I have taken a "wait & see" position with regard to making a separate list for the LS3's .......... for now we will have one list.

I have received many suggestions with regard to changes. Once we see what the LS3's do ............ I'll present all the suggestions and we'll discuss the suggestions before the list is modified

Please remember that this is for FUN

Tommy that wasn't me who has the '08 A6. That was another guy on one of the other forums. Looks like he has the same screen name on here, High Roller.

I don't want to take credit for his run.

Tommy, I didn't realize the huge scope of your listings. I suppose just having the year will do the same thing. Of course, what also happens is as more amd more LS2's break in, their times will also get better.
