When you said you ran in Sport Mode with TC off that is regular sport mode and not the Sport 1 mode or Sport 2 mode, that you can only access by getting first into track mode, right?

Also, did you try any runs in track mode in either sport 1, sport 2 or full race mode ( the latter of those 2 options the active handling and stability traction are both turned of by the ecu when in that mode)?

Regular sport mode. Never used track mode. Also never used launch control. Foot brake and preload converter to about 1500 RPM. The next track rental I will try touring mode in that it may help with the sixty foot in that better weight transfer to rear tires.

I asked you if you still have that 87 Convertible for sale. I think Alan might have sold it a while back. If we come down to Fla. I will surely holler out for you.

Sorry if I am hijacking but are you guys power braking for burnouts. I am due to run here in the next few weeks for the first time. I am a M7 car and really didn't want to power brake on the CCB's. Anyone have any input? I have drag raced my mustang quite a bit but first for the Z. Any help is appreciated. I too will be running the 345 Nittos.


Thanks
Mike

Another update on my 2016 Z06. Went to another rental yesterday at Atco Dragway. 1100 miles on the clock. Full tank of gas. Only mod Nitto NT05R drag radials. All time best ET, sixty foot, and MPH.

That's gotta be getting close to a record on a bone stock car with tires. Gotta love that Atco DA!

Congrats man! It would be cool if you could sneak a high .60 out of it... 27 mph back half is awesome.

Nice run - I was also at Atco yesterday in my McLaren. Nice to meet you. I failed to notice if your car has stage 2/3 aero. I'm guessing it doesn't because your MPH gain on the back half was pretty stout.

The A8 record 'with tires' is 10.21 at 137mph, and the M7 record 'with tires' is 10.31 at 134mph Both at MIR...

The Atco record currently is a 10.38 with tires in an A8.

Btw, OP, nice runs!! A8 or M7?

Those records are with completely stock cars other then tires? Pump gas? 137 mph is crazy... that's about 650 rwhp...

Thanks. Saw your last run of the day. 10.35 very impressive. V-8 twin turbo?
Just a 2016 Z06 A8 with 2LZ package.
