Great pic!


Is that the stock rear tire?


Looks narrow to me for some reason.


Front splitter gone too?

* The rear tire is a MT 305/18" drag radial so it is skimpy/narrower than stock but OEM height & it hooks 'all' the time.

*
I removed the front splitter for driveway clearance the second day of ownership. 'SO'

I never entertained trying to set the 'stock' record for the Z06 (rules 'were' anything changed = non stock) However I i.e. Grand Sport Man did set a stock record with my first Corvette for the C6 Grand Sports.

I've wondered if those rubber skirts under the front facia could be taken off and have any measurable reduction in ET?

They are hanging out in the wind so to speak.

What kind of 60 ft. and ET are you getting with the 305?

* IIRC those rubber skirts in front of the tires have 3 screws each holding them on so you could give it a try/see. Just replace the screws after removing the skirts so nothing moves.

* I have gotten the 'same' 1.53 60' times with low 10.4's with 'both' the stock MPSS tires and the MT 305's. I have more 1.53 60 foots running with the OEM tires.

Old Example Below:




Below is the time slip that goes with the 'pic' in this thread. Did not come out hard (experimenting). I was also running the AFE CAI with the dry low flow filter & stock tune:
