let me know if the link works.

Nice, you almost had him.

[102487thedude]

from what i remember i had a 2.5 60ft becuase i boged off the luanch real bad.

[Turb_Oh_A4]

it's a C5... But thats pretty damn nice! i wish my car could do that.

[sambrody44]

Definitely bogged up. If you hadn't it would have been much closer. Good show.

[mike-2ptzero]

Is that a 12 second run at 1 teens for a blown vette? Do you have a time slip for that run, because those are numbers for a stock C6.

[317ssayzarc]

Time and mph?

[Turb_Oh_A4]

1 teens?

[mike-2ptzero]

1 teens?

lol, couldn't figure that one out? Like as in 113-119.

[Turb_Oh_A4]

oh lol... i was looking at it trying to make something out and couldnt.

Well, its a C5, and think about this. the Stock C6 was rated at the Same HP as the C5 Z06.

[djwimbo]

The driver of that Vette must really suck. The one I built with my roommate (C5: N/A, head + Cam) would have walked all over that.

I want a time slip.

NTM C5's aren't supposed to drag race, the rear end isn't set up for that. They stress out the rear shafts in a heartbeat. They're great road racing cars though.

You definitely need to get that 60' down. I had my stock 3.0 in the 2.0 60' range.

you cant see in the vid but he spins really bad of the line. i am a mid 12 sec car and the vett. should be a high 10 sec car.

i dont have a time slip anymore becuase this vid is from about 4 months ago just decided to upload it yesterday. but i think i ran a 13.0 and the vett ran a mid 12sec. but if i came out with out bogging it would have been a 12 sec flat pass.

i got a 2.5 60ft and i can usually run like 1.7 60fts thats almost the full sec right there.

[Don Supreme]

Did you replace your clutch yet?

[102487thedude]

Did you replace your clutch yet?

it was not the clucth.

i i finally got the car to luanch.

the trick was on the first up rev i dump the clutch at around 6000 rpm and i am able to built about 5 psi and the car comes out good.

[Don Supreme]

oh driver error huh hahaha.

So what you are saying is I would have went 11s

[chadb2434]

It's really funny how the vette did like a 10 sec burnout and wasted half of his gas, then you just calmly went to the starting line! lol

[absolutegtr]

Although reaction time has nothing to do with your ET....you still need to work on that, lol

[Exanimas]

You definitely need to get that 60' down. I had my stock 3.0 in the 2.0 60' range.

I have a feeling that it's a lot easier to get traction in a stock 3.0 than it is with a 2.0 + BT.

Spinning the tires can still get a good 60 ft time and the OP's bad 60 ft time was because he bogged the car badly.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Yeah I almost always spin a descent amount coming off the line.

[Exanimas]

Hmm, thanks for the explanation then. I know he mentioned he messed up the launch, but I figured making a decent amount of power would make a good 60' a little harder. What do I know about dragging anyways?

[102487thedude]

Yeah I almost always spin a descent amount coming off the line.

like you said the perfect luanch requires just a little spinning to get the car going and also reduce the tress on all drive train parts. if you bog the car you usally are hurting the car more than if you luanch at higher rpms and spinning.

[102487thedude]

After i get my car retunned i will get it into 11 sec pass time. and also with a good luanch.
