I just have a base Touring model. No upgrades. Tires were BF Goodrich Comp2 on 18" base wheels. Nothing was unloaded from the car. I went down the track in 100% stock form with 3/4 tank of gas and most importantly.. VDC ON.

13.57 @ 105.14.

Needless to say but I'll say it anyway... Can't just mash the gas with a one-wheel wonder (VDC on or off). Spun all the way down the track like it did my second pass at 99MPH and 14.2 seconds. I think I finally hooked a little past the 1/8 mile mark. Left VDC on for my third pass and feathered the throttle down to keep the tire hooked the whole time. Result was the 13.57 pass and everyone who watched said it was a great run.

i only run VDC off.

the main issue off the bat you are having is no VLSD in the base model. sport model has a subpar VLSD but still has one vs base which doesnt. you will spin all day trying to drop gear and smash the gas in it.

there are many easy ways i could drop my personal best one of them being upgrading to a better LSD, drag radials, run on an empty tank, strip out all weight.

I occasionally break loose and boil and hop the tires. I run 14's doing it but man I look good!

20 Roll Out?

Thanks

i feel for you. I was in the same boat then i swapped that peg leg with a quaife LSD for $1200 and its the best moola you can spend.

Peg legs on the Z? Don't think so. Straight up posi track rear ends or so I thought.

It means you roll at 20 mph then mash the gas when you're ready to race. That makes it fair for people who don't know how to launch MT :stirthepot: :driving:

Definitely a peg-leg for sure. Straight up open diff. I spin the same tire all the time. :driving:

Tadpole 10-08-2014 06:58 PM

Well someone please educate me. My old school method is lifting up the rear of the car and moving one of the wheels in one direction. If they both move in the same direction it's a posi track, if they move in opposite direction it's a peg leg or limited slip. My Z rotates in the same direction and they both spin at the drag strip every time.
