Members, I'm headed out again to the local 1/4 mile drag strip. (Been there before, hence the forum name) and I thought that I'd ask you folks for any racing tips (other than go fast and win) so that I can get a better launch at the light. Information is POWER.

Let the advice begin................

 

launch 400 rpms higher then you would on the street.

 

Here's a tip: be prepared to switch your username

Lol run your car in dyno mode. Load the torque converter just a bit and roll into the throttle. Obviously, make sure AC is off and remove anything you don't need in your car.

 

Leave on the last yellow, or before.

If you leave on the green, you're giving up five carlengths already...

No way! I've smoked too many of them on the street :-)

 

So you are running low 10's in the 1/4 mile? Post up the timeslips and a video of you racing at the track.

 

guys, we all know most z06 owners can't use their cars properly so lets not get into that debate again. i've never lost to a z06 on the street or at the track...but i KNOW they should be the quicker car and i'm sure his case is no different.

 

He also might be referring to the C5 Z06. Big difference in performance between the C5 and C6 variations.

 

Please tell me you have drag radials on that Kleemann CLK55! Can't wait to see your times, I gave you tips in the CLK55 forum where you posted this same thread. I don't mess with Z06's lol

 

So what happened?

 

His mom told him he was not allowed to play on the internet anymore lol.

 

 

traction = right foot
Z06 is a monster but I have also seen people run 13+ at the track
