and I think that was a 1.72 60', but with traction control on, correct? You have been running w/o TC since then, yes?

Yes, TC was on but the only run I know I remembered to turn it off on Friday was against the Vette and it didn't matter, I still did 1.72 and I also plotted it. Looks the same, I think that TC may intervene anyway with LC, this behavior may just be part of LC with or without TC on. I went out to the county road and did a run without LC and TC and it wasn't any good. Right now, I have a flat left rear so I have to call Porsche Roadside assistance.

He got 1.74 to my 1.72 later in the day on the second run and 1.67 to my 1.74 earlier in the day. Maybe SAR just doesn't have good grip. The black Corvette I ran on Friday night definitely had drag slicks on the back and he got 1.67 to my 1.74.

At Ennis I was getting 1.74-1.76, I just can't get below 1.65 with my PZeros and the ones at Ennis had 8500 miles on them, these only have about 1500 now.
ecpChris got 1.58 60ft, 10.67 and 128.26 on my cobb stage 2 running p zero's and my car is a cab. This was the pre jmorgan map, the file I have now I think its stronger off the line.
My personal best time was 1.61 60ft, 10.67 @ 129.54 at ATCO that day.

Well I did get 1.59 according to Vbox last fall after I put the FVD piggyback on. That was my fastest ET, 10.57 @ 129.45. Since it wasn't at a dragstrip I didn't consider it to be valid by itself. Since then I have noted that Vbox is pretty accurate with the 60ft and ETs but I don't believe it's trap numbers are that good. Anyway, here is that one and I was using LC for that with TC on.

John Morgan broke into the 1.4 on his 60 foot time during our Atco day.

So here is a thread I put up before Carlos came around. I have of course been baffled by his ability to get good times. This was the last time I went to the dragstrip before last February and when I went then I was trapping consistent 135.6+ with 10.7-10.8 ET. There are a couple of posters that are in support of me but others tell me my car is crap. I think my car won't cut it off the line with Pirellis but maybe it will get better with the new ones and I am getting a set put on when I do the Turbo upgrade. I don't know if I will get to the dragstrip to test them after the Turbos are on but before I go to COTA.

I want a 1.5 60ft but the best I have ever gotten is at the county road with a 1.59 measured by Vbox which may be suspect. I don't think I have any slips from a dragstrip showing less than 1.65.

I have spent a lot of money trying to make my car faster and it had nothing to do with Carlos. This all happened before he showed up.

Who should I blame for sinking $30,000 into mods and still not being below 10.5? Remember I bought my stuff from a lot of different vendors.

I just I don't understand the cause of your slower than average 60 foot times. John Morgan on Cobb stage 2 has cut a 1.4's foot time at Atco and mine have been in the low 1.5s if I get a good lunch. I don't know if it's an issue specific to your car. I doubt it has anything to do with your driving as you're clearly very experienced.

I wish we could bring your car up to Atco during one of our private track rentals. Mine had 1.5 60 foot times at Royal Purple Raceway at Tx2K
