Still a work in progress so please do not hate on the ET, just posting where I am at so far:

Well the nice trap speed is indicative of the car's potential. A properly functioning trans and sticky tires should yield some 10 second slips. Thanks for the vid.

P.S. - Less caffeine for the cameraman next time.

 

Yep, exactly, 10's are the goal this was just a step in the right direction.

Great trap speeds. The ET's are 'ing. What are your 60' times? As you know each 0.1 sec off the 60' time translates to 0.2 sec off the ET.
Mickey Thompson DR's will fix that. The ET's will happen. The car has the power as shown by the traps.
Nice work

Yes yes, I know the drag racing rules of thumb very well

I was running Mickey Thompson DR's, I thought the video explained the reason for the ET's? Did you watch the whole thing?

 

Very nice trap speeds!

 

Very nice runs.. You are all over my M5 Trap speed on Bottle.. The DCT trans is the only thing holding you back from getting my ET.. Your lighter and with the right tire and working trans you could run some mid 10s for sure.. Good luck!!!

Nice to have someone who understand how the trap relates to possible ET

Appreciate the kind words, thanks Mike!

 

cough.....2nd post....cough

 

Camerawoman....cough....

and yes, you get it as well

 

wow 130 trap your highway runs must be fun too

 

BTW, is there anything that can be done with the trans?

 

In what sense? Transmission cooler was built.

There no upgrades out there but when I push the envelope further there potentially is a company in mind to upgrade the DCT. GTR's have a bunch of options, M3 guys have 0.

 

Very nice trap! I bet your car will dip into the 7's in the 60-130.

 

That is exactly what I am thinking.

I'm still amazed by the numbers you got with the stock Z06, how in the hell did you do that?
