It was a rush of a day, literally... Spacers came in I had made and overnighted, ran home bolted up drag radials (not without issues) and took off.

I drove an hour and immediately pulled into the staging and they started running. Car was HOT! I had not even dropped the pressure in the MT drag radials.
I left the line easy and first pass was still in the 10's

Issues delayed second pass but heated tires up good and I noticed the Honda in front of me spewed water out... So they were mopping it up. I was afraid to flash converter and really nail it so AGAIN I did just a nice smooth roll into throttle.

I think the car has a lot left in it. Almost 129mph! I am pleased with that. Will go back friday, then next Friday for a private rental.

RJ-92

I'm assuming you were in the right lane?

car has drag radials what size?

what were you racing on left lane. That thing was moving

Great times for a stock car, MT should really help the 60, but not much, so you doing 1.69 ish 60 foot on a hot car, makes me smile

You should be able to get down to 1.5 ish, and maybe 10.6

What aero pkg do you have ?

great car # in the right lane.

My friend with his GTR was on low boost to film me in the right lane. He usually runs 9.7-9.8
I think my times will improve a fair amount.
Thanks
Jason
Also the large flap on the back can't be helping mph looks like a big air-brake. Lol

what size drag radials?

That's my old GT-R, now owned by a good friend of mine.
It was on very low boost on that pass, and has ran a best of 9.7 at 144-145 mph. He was off his best tonight by ~.3 and ~3 mph.

By way of comparison, there were a number of other GT-R's at the track tonight. A stock DBA car went 11.4 at 123 mph. A bolt-on pump gas DBA car on R888's (intakes, midpipe, catback, fuel system upgrades, tune) ran a personal best of 10.7 at 130 mph (I actually ran against this car in my 911 TT in July). So same-day, same-track the A8 Z06 ran 5-6 mph faster than a DBA GT-R. And it did this on a 28" tire, effectively taking some gear out of the car and with Stage 2 aero.
DA was around ~-400' or so. I'm pretty confident we'll see 130+ out of these cars very soon.

Great job!!

Can u describe your wheel and tire setup? And any problems you had making them work. Im still trying to find a good 18 inch setup to use.

PharoNDmist

Damn. That is very impressive.

Gotta love it...first story of the A8... Ya driving along, took an hour to get to the track, drove straight in, ran my first 1/4 at 10 and still think it could have done better... eheheh

Why did I order the A8 again?

Would love to see the vid on this!

petecaballero

Impressive. Congrats!

Congrats!!!

Steve Snake Driver

Nice job!

T/A KID

Great results. I think I was the first to post A8 C7 stingray times, been waiting to see A8 Z06 times

I know the car has much more left in it, If you would have had time I bet it would have done 130.x just with the ECT being cooler and you stabbing the throttle as fast as you can opposed to rolling into the throttle.

scott76807

couple of questions....


what rpm did you leave at

what tire size & pressure were you running

Awesome Run..!
