Default 12.15@117 on GY runflats with stock GS and 11.70@119 with drag radials only

Got invited out to the local V-club track rental and the weather as well prep were better than last weekends opening TNT. DA started out negative and then ended up right around 0 by the time I swapped on the Hoosier drag radials. Started them at 20psi and then went to 16 as the track started to go away, clutch was finicky trying to find the fine line between overpowering the tires and dead hooking causing the pedal to stick though made 4 passes within .04 of each other and 3 within .1 mph (119.6) the slower one with the fastest 60' I clipped the limiter on 1-2 and cost me the 11.6x

is the sticky for the 1/4 time still being updated? If so, you have the fastest showroom stock GS.

Yeah I realized that, but the time reported below is faster than the top stock GS time on the list. I'll post my results there, though not sure if it's still being maintained or not honestly.

Thanks, have been impressed with what the car did with only 436hp. Wish the scales would have been open to weigh it, as it's a 3LT.

Chris congratulations on setting the stock GS record. Nice launch and 60 foot. I know you have had plenty of practice in your C5.

Thanks Brian! I only made two passes on the runflats, the below being the first and didn't want to push my luck as afraid of wheel hopping and breaking. Iirc 1.88 was the best 60' on street tires in the C5 when I first got it before getting the bias ply et streets. I do have a little seat time with a manual vette as you know, the Hoosiers I ran are Todd's old ones still getting it done lol. I was going to ask Rick if I could borrow his skinnies since he broke to try for an 11.5, but he had already loaded the car on the trailer.

Just realized I ran faster than any manual C7 with just drag radials ever has...
