Default Callaway Conversion Handling Question

Just got our Callaway converted Z51 2014 Stingray with Magnetic Ride Control and auto transmission back and wondering about the best settings (mode select) for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Seem to have a slight (?) problem keeping it going straight! Thanks for any input anyone has!

I think what you're asking is, which of the 3 modes ( tour, sport, track) of the mag ride, should be selected to keep the car from starting to go sideways as you're making a full throttle sprint from 0-60 and running the quarter. Probably the tour setting might be the best, as it will be the softest setting allowing more weight to be placed over the rear wheels as the nose comes up. Won't likely make a hugh amount of difference, but may help a little.

I have been tested that myself. Only difference is I have the 7 speed. I think we might need larger tires.

Default Launch control

Several good videos on you tube demonstrating the corvette launch control. Looks like a lot of fun once the weather warms up!

More than 1/2 the conversions we've done are with that transmission. It's held up fine.
