Finally got into the 9s, 2000 DA and full aero. Both passes were made about an hour apart, first was 2000 DA and second was prob 22-2300, I'll have to look it up. That MPH on the second pass is gettin' it!

Has no one tried to run an M7? All A8's so far.

Get em Deb! We had/have a bunch of great drivers during the C6 Z era and early C7. Is it because the car is fairly new? Not all the good drivers got their car yet? Waiting for the cooler air?

- Sport Mode
- TC off
- Stabilitrak off - ONLY If you're experienced, otherwise leave this on as it might be the only thing that saves your ace if the car goes sideways.
- Burnout length depends on track temp with heat gun
- Tire pressure depends on track temp with heat gun (keep in mind they'll heat up 2-3 PSI depending on previous use and burnout length)
- Roll up, stage shallow
- Foot brake to ride converter up to about 2K RPMs
- Last yellow, less brake, more gas simultaneously and roll out
- When you feel it hook, you should be flat footed!
- Be SURE you cross the traps before braking but as soon as you cross, apply moderate pressure to slow the car down sooner which allows you to have more room at the end for safety. Once you're a little more seasoned, you can downshift as you're braking as well, but usually, Performance Shift mode will be helping somewhat too.
- I keep in manual mode on the return lane with the RPMs higher, in lower gears to keep more air moving through in an attempt to cool it down some before shutdown (logging the entire time)
- Lastly, don't forget to stop at the shack to collect your 9 second slip
- When parking, pop the hood and pull the 4 - 10mm bolts in the cowl and you can set it in the hatch as this WILL HOLD HEAT IN! If you haven't seen my temp thread, if you leave it sit with the cowl on, temps will climb 20* on the supercharger lid over the next 2 hours before they start to cool back down.

Thanks you very much for your advice. You’re my hero! Lol
So this happened today. DA was -302. Car is still bone stock on the MPSS tires. Didn’t even change my tire pressure. I had them on 28 psi
Also had another good run with a DA of +424
