Will do my best to get a dragstrip in before they close up here. Won't guarantee super numbers haven't been in over 6 years now.

I have plenty of numbers, probably more than most with a best of 12.405 with a +200 June Atco DA. Only a so-so time. It's all about the 60'. My best 60' on the stock tires was 1.93 something.
So what I want to know is the best approach to launching a SS M6? I have recently heard the fastest M6 ETs were done by using the Camaro launch control and being very careful not to spin the tires in the launch. My testing with Launch Control was slower than not using it the same night. One more question. Some seem to think the SS has no lift shifting. But Chevy does not advertise this. Is this possible? I loved that on my ZL1. And yet one more question. What is the best looking way to incorporate a shift light into the CA6? The HUD sort of works but I know I m not as consistent as when I had a light. Help!

I thought I read the HUD had an actual shift light? Maybe it has to be turned on? Or was just for the SS 1LE's or ZL1's? |

Drag racing a 1LE is not its forte. Genrally on the 5h gens 1LEs were slower than standard SSes. That may not apply on the CA6, but the last ZL1 and 1LE Goodyears were awful at the drags. That I know, I had faster 60's on the 5th gen Pirellis and the CA6 runflats.

I had these shift lights in a few past cars: https://www.raptorperformance.com Motor Trend has already matched their best manual 0-60 and 1/4 mile with their only SS 1LE test so far, and that was on an unprepped runway with a clutch dump. I see the SS 1LE's being about a tenth quicker once an average is established due to the wider, stickier, non run flats and the e-diff. Even though going straight isn't the cars forte. |

A stock CA6 M6 SS has gone 12.280 here. Very few people will drag race the 1LE. I still have the top 1LE 5th gen bolton time, 12.358, LOL. The best standard M6 was 11.6. 12.733 was the fastest stock 1LE time to 12.588 non 1LE LS3 . One of the big problems on the 5th gen 1LE was the gearing which required a shift to 4th. The CA6 M6 SSes, both 1LE and non 1LE are geared exactly like the 5th gen 1LE except a 3.73 gear versus a 3.91 on the 5th gen. I think a 4.10 would do wonders for the current M6 SS.

Plus, Chevrolet rates the SS 1LE a tenth quicker to 60 in their literature. Quote:
I agree...but it may require more shifting on track, which is not really want you want. But a gear swap is on my radar. I just want someone else to be the guinea pig... |
