That's about as good as I've ever done with the MPSS tires. I've been down to 3.1 with drag radials (A8 vert) which I'm guessing is about the limit for my car.

2.50

Track mode with only TC button hit once. On MT drag radials and after heating and dropping psi enough and tap on the very small shot of nitrous for just a second. It was on my asfault driveway. Any better will require a good prepped track in my opinion.

I laugh at your slow time :-) But seriously I didn't think we had the power to dip much below 3.0 even if traction were perfect. I'm surprised... driveway not downhill?

I wonder if the pdr timer is more accurate than using the performance option on the dash.im guessing they share the same electronics.

If the rear tires are spinning, the car will think it is going 60mph even though it might be going 40 and peg the time as 2 seconds.

Not on my hit. Maybe it would be easier to understand that my car isn't stock and I've been drag racing for 38 years.

I'm going to Zmax Dragway in Concord,NC this coming Friday Aug the 18th, if anyone would like to join me. I think my buddy Shaq will be there with his 1,000 +HP Z06 will be there as well. It is a test and tune session. They have 4 lanes. You can choose to run on the "non-prepped track" or the prepped side. The last few times they had it there were lots of Hellcat's and Mustang's to run. It's been a blast.

I found a few test hits I made on my way home the other night. It's a little hard to read but 0-60 is 2.5 and 1/4 mile time 10.50. This was on a road near my home and it's taken from the PDR so it's at least close to the DIC timer.

Default I called for the need for less than 3s on here! ;)

They were videoed on track sprinting! I was thinking they read us!

http://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevr...06-first-test/

3.2s

C5

4.2s

On a good day I guess Corvette test drivers could get -

3.9s

Many Forum geniuses argued its significance!

Looks to me like 0-60 is 2.9 and you pointing toward the wall.
