Car is stock m6. Falken FK451 non runflat tires. Made a handful of passes.
First pass I made (and best of the night)13.275 @ 107.65 - 2.088 60'
Rest of the night I ran all 13.2x with just one 13.3. Pretty consistant. All 2.08x and one 2.073 60' times.
Reason for the 13.3 was I think because the sun was down for a while and the track cooled. I shifted to 2nd on that run and spun all the way until I caught 3rd. Then spun a hair more until finally it caught. I would of let off in 2nd but the car was staying fairly straight (the a$$ was fluttering back and forth though) so I kept on it.
My first rwd car and still getting used to it. I think I'm getting pretty close to its limits though. Maybe a better track and a little more practice and I can hit 13.1. I run at Island Dragway in Great Meadows NJ and from what I hear it is one of the worste tracks for track prep and people just going through the wetbox and water all over the track.
Overall I am very happy with the way the car performed and with my '60 times.
Talked with a few other guys with c6's. One with sc and running 12.1 to 12.5. Said he couldnt get any traction at all.
Another was stock and hitting 12.8s
This car is a blast! I love it! I have some videos not sure how to put them up here though.

Sounds like ya had a great time. Like they say, "Practice Makes Perfect".

 

NICE...i've been meaning to go to the Friday Night Grunge Runs here too....haven't had the chance yet tho!

 

I wanted to go last wednesdayto Bandi but couldn't find the time. That and it was 96 degrees out, wish they would have done it in the evening.

 

Seems like you had a good time, I have yet to run a car at the drap strip, but keep telling myself that I will make it there one day. Until then I will just enjoy reading these stories.

 

You got reasonable times and Falkens aren't the greatest tires for a good launch. Some 305 drag radials would probably trim your 60' to 1.9 and maybe get you to 13 flat.

 

I have been doing a lot of reading and searching about different mods and trying to make up my mind on which route I want to take. I would like to eventually get the car to be able to do mid 11's on drag radials. I know nitrous is an option but I don't want to be messing with bottles and such with the vette. And I'm sure spraying 150 shot will get very expensive. So that leaves me with a h/c setup. Looking at cartek.net in garwood NJ. Anyone have any experiences with them?

 

You can get into the 11s several ways. Supercharger will do it easily -- several good routes there: I prefer the Magnusen on stock engines although that means you need a new hood. A stroker engine and heads cam will also do it. Either way, about $10K to do it right.
