Black2003SS Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah. His name is Tony and he is in my grand prix club. He ran a 12.54 with exactly what you stated. The TC stall was 3400 though. His friends GC SRT8 ran a 12.1 with spray. They are fast, no arguement there. Here is the link to his post at www.clubgp.com with pictures and videos. http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=34...tmode=1&smode=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan23 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 One of the Corvette Forum members went 10.8 in his bone stock C6 Z06 with jus BFG DR's.....GM has their moments...a high 10 driver....nice.. QUOTE On my first pass of the day, after an hour-long cool-down and change of rear tires to the BFGs, I ran a clean pass with the type of launch and 1-2 shift I’ve been looking for. Here are the splits: 60'........1.679 3650 launch rpm with a fast clutch release and fast throttle squeeze 330'......4.625 660'......7.046 102.61 1000'.....9.114 1320'...10.856 129.50 Density altitude at the time of the pass was negative 850 feet on my TAG weather station. Air temperature was 51 degrees. Barometer was excellent and humidity was low. Track surface temperature was 60 degrees, kissed sweetly by full sun.

shreveportSS Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Sometimes you gotta have both. The tranny is our weak point due to the fact that we get lots of traction with the TBSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never hear of a corvette tranny breakin like the ss's trannys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 thats why the corvette tranny's have "corvette servos"! Also, our weight has alot to do with it and so does AWD in most cases. Also, dont be fooled, dont think for one second a 600hp corvette doesnt need trans work eventually...it does...auto or manual (at least a clutch if not more).
