Sokay, I'll still have fun with it - just not as much fun at the drag strip as anticipated. I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve, though.
For example, next time I'll try a few passes without any burnout on the DR's. This should result in some wheel spin at launch. SOMETHING has to slip to get into the power band where the useful torque is available. If GM will not allow me to slip the clutch then I'm forced to sacrifice some rubber. My best time (11.6) on stock rubber was with moderate wheel spin at launch. Only problem there is that it's much more difficult to accurately and consistently control tire spin than clutch slippage. Too many variables - track condition, temp, humidity, throttle pressure... Still, it's worth a shot.
I'm convinced that the main problem with poor launch and low 60 ft / ETs in the 6th Gen ZL1 M6 is the always-on "Manual Transmission Protection" feature described in the document below. It cannot be disabled without a targeted engine tune.
I described my rationale in these two posts on another thread:
