After an overall successful Racewars rental on Monday and a new best in the TA, I decided to take the Z to the Black Friday test and tune. The goal was to get the car into the 10s all stock down to the run flat MPSS tires. The place was absolutely packed by 10:30AM but I was able to get 4 runs in.
1st Run: This was a test to see how well the car would hook up and an uneventful 11.1 @ 128. To my surprise, there were zero traction issues so 2nd run would be more serious.
2nd Run: Ran a 10.856 @ 128.65 with a 1.685 60' which was a new best.
3rd Run: I ran a slightly better 10.832 @ 128.86 with a 1.666 60'. Woohoo! The difference between the 2nd and 3rd run was simply me going WOT more abruptly.
4th Run We had a 2 hr wait as a no time car oiled the right lane and then a car decided to travel on it's roof requiring another clean up (driver was OK). I attempted to use launch control which was a mistake as it didn't engage and I ended up doing a nice burnout at the tree. With the line being ridiculously long, I wouldn't get another run for another couple hours so I bailed and went home happy.
Gotta love the personal best hero run against a 15 second truck :rofl:

So the question is, what's on the mod list
More driver modding. Car has 6500 miles and so far just needed an oil change and fuel. No sense sacrificing the warranty at this point but that day will come.

Yeaaa. I was surprised the gopro audio caught the ecoboost noise over the vette.

That's motivating pretty damn well for a stock vette. Holy crap. I'm guessing drag radials?

Nope. Stock run-flat tires.

It doesn't spin at all so I don't think DR's will do it any good other than likely being lighter. Maybe if I can get the launch control to function they might be a benefit.
