I am running 19 replicas with nitto 05r, No spinning problems but I probably need to go to this setup as well. Should be pulling the wheels as well. Maye we can meet up there some times or if you ever get over to Evadale give me a shout. The track at Evadale is a pretty good track as well

What is your launch procedure? Idle to stab it? Load the converter? If so, what RPM? Mode?

​​​​​​Billy,

unproven theory but mentioned numerous times around here. When in touring mode the ELSD opens up around 50mph if you lose traction you wipe out.

supposedly sport and up has the rear engaging both sides longer or more aggressively.

my buddy runs his mid 9 sec Z06 same way. He tried it on the street TC off but stability on. He wiped pretty bad car went hard right above 40 50mph. Experienced driver and second C7..

have you experienced anything like that with yours?

So are you saying that he didn't launch that way or that there is a risk to launching that way? Is Sport a better mode to launch in?

As far as I know. That's what we have found that allow the suspension to stay soft to the car weight transfers. I understand what you're saying but the time slips don't lie.
