Took my C6 corvette to the 1/4 track
I took my 2006 C6 corvette 6sp auto to the track for the first time tonight with 50 degree weather. only mods are intake, axleback exhaust, tune and ran a 12.28 @ 117mph...timeslip below. was running consistent 12.3's all night.

Badass!
|
nice, 12.3 is CTS-V territory. Is yours a Z51?
|
no...it's topped out except that..it's a 3LT with nav package.
|
Nice!!!!
I could never get near that time with my manual trans, except when it was supercharged. Then again, I've never gotten into drag racing, always been a road course kind of guy. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4098/trackweapon.jpg |
U both have amazing cars and very impressive time with simple mods!
Will you be n/a or going sc or tt?! I hope you go tt! |
TCS on or off? Did you floor it from the start or gradualy increase throttle? Just wondering as we have a stock 06 3LT and couldn't do as well as we had hoped.
|
People use TCS at the strip? lol
|
i used competitive driving mode which takes off traction control and you can spin your tires but leaves on active handling so you won't run into the wall...but i did a few runs with TCS and active handling both off and still ran similar times. i had to feather the launch and then floor it..the first 60' is the most important in this car with all the torque...i had about 8 runs in the 12.3's..and a few around 13.1 where i floored to much and it got a little squirly and I had to let off the gas and then floor it the rest of the way.

me and my buddy used to go to the strip alot and he had a LS3 vette for a while then a 08 Z06 and they were both really hard to get off the line sometimes.. |
Yeouch.
|
not bad at all. i almost decided to get a 2006 c6 instead of my 370z. i remember when ford first brought out the new gt500s and the c6 vette had a faster 1/4 time. heh and there wasnt even a point to compare it to the z06.
i know of a couple guys with drag slicks who hit around 11.8 or so with nothing else done. with those c6's people forget they still got alot of power and tq even not being the z06. and there lighter than the 370z. |
