Traction control off, drive around the water box, launch at a minimum of 2K or your gonna bog it down, shift as you see fit. I would NOT waste my time airing down the runflat tires. They have a hard sidewall and it won't give you anything. Tried this on my C5 and spun the rim in the tire I think 13.0 - 13.2 at approx. 108mph is what you will see. Just go out there and learn about your car. Most importantly have fun. If you decide you want to spend time at Moroso on a regular basis, we race monthly. Drag Racing for Corvettes Only.
