I was able to back up my best run of 11.22 from the last time out with a couple more 11.2 passes. My best run today was an 11.24 followed by an 11.28 @ 128.9. The da was around 1300 feet at the start of the evening but eventually dropped down to around 800'. I wasn't able to get any videos today but I'll post up the time slips later. I looks like the 130 mph run the last time out may have been correct, judging by my mph today in worse conditions. I'm now able to launch and get consistent 1.7 60' times. I had 2 1.74s, a 1.76 and a 1.78.

Right on! Great job Dave. Good to see some consistent runs out of her, she's doing well man!

[96MrBass]

Very consistent nice work Dave, we're all the traps consistent as well?

[NB2017ZL1]

At least you're consistent !

[IneedAZ]

When your good weather returns I could see you hitting some 11.0s

[Dwille]

Awesome job!

Yes the car is pretty consistent but I did discover a couple things. First, like my 5th gen, this car does suffer from heat soak. The 11 coolers the car comes with may help in an all day track outing where air is always blowing across their surface, but in drag racing where the car sits after a pass, they may not be quite a effective.

After making my first pass of the day (11.32 @ 128.3), I let it sit for around a half hour. I checked the intake and found it significantly hotter than after I had made the pass. On my second pass (11.42 @ 125.5), it was clear that heat soak had killed it's performance. Fortunately, I had planned for this. I brought along a couple portable fans along with a couple bags of ice for the intake, and let the car sit for an hour to cool down. My next pass got me an 11.24 @ 123 (mph clock was screwed up in the rt lane). As a point of reference, a buddy who was running his Z06, also ran 123 in that same lane. His car is a consistent 128 - 130 mph car at every other track he races. When he moved back to the left lane, his mph was back at 128.

On my final pass of the day, after another long cool down, I got a little too aggressive with the launch, got a little spin, and the 60' dropped slightly (1.757), but was still happy to run 11.28 @ 128.9.

By turning all the nannies off, I'm able to launch the car without any computer intervention...just the way I like it. I hope this helps some of you guys who plan on giving the track a try. It really is a fantastic car and I'm really thinking that someone will get a 10.99 out of it on street tires when the good weather gets here.

I'm assuming you're leaving the hood open after each pass? Car in shade?

Absolutely, with fans blowing on the intercooler.

Good job...How much tire pressure are you running in the rears???

Thanks. 27 psi.

[Ron_Robinson1]

Dave would you mind walking me through on how turn off all the nanies. Not sure if you posted it before.

[laynlo15]

Your consistent for sure and nice pass, the mph is there at 128.
Man, 800 DA. What I would have given to have that yesterday. It was 92 degrees and DA was 3650, I could have been in the 10.60s, maybe even 10.50s at over 130 instead of 10.70s @129. How many miles on your car Dave?

[17CamaroZL1]

Nice job bigdave!! Finally got mine on track today. DA was terrible....3500, but still managed some decent times. 11.52 and 11.54 being my two best. 60's were 1.89 and 1.84. Not sure which trap speed to believe. The slips were 123mph and 121mph, but my PDR videos and speedo were showing 127 and 126.
