View Full Version : Took my car to Milan and....
I only got ONE run in. I am never going there again.
60' - 1.84
330' - 5.06
1/8 - 7.65
1/8 mph - 93.40
1000' - 9.85
1000 mph -113.31
1/4 - 11.693
1/4 mph - 121
My car is stock on the stock runflats. It was 85* out when I ran and coolant temps were still right around 198*. I got a lot of wheel hop in first gear but the car was pretty planted throughout the shifts. I do not powershift, just speedshift. With a more controlled launch, I definitley think I will be getting this car to run a 11.4x-11.5x in stock trim on the stock runcraps. Man, this beast is fast.
Oh, and the trap, well, I was trapping at 126 at Stanton but it was also 65* out.

Good times man. What was your 1/8 mph at stanton?

Larry, remember that was on the stock runflats with lots of wheel hop in 1st gear. Also, we also raced from a roll and my car was trapping at 126 back to back at Stanton..;)
Either way, your car gave a good fight..:icon_mrgr
Good times man. What was your 1/8 mph at stanton?
96 at stanton.

97 at stanton.
Makes sense...picked up 29 at stanton and 28 at milan...so I'd say the weather would be the most logical culprit. You can find the weather and plug in and see that the density altitude difference was...or if you tell me what dates you ran and what time, I can run the #'s real quick.

I think the mph was due to the weather. Today at Milan, I was sweating, and the digital temp reader in my car was reading 85*. It was hot.
At Stanton, It was 65* and it was cool, almost cold. So, it kind of makes sense. I ran Statnon on Saturday around 10 p.m. I ran at Milan today at 4:30 p.m.
If I would have gotten a few more runs later in the day when it cooled down and had a more controlled launch today, I really think I could have gotten this thing to an 11.4x. Oh well, next time..

Your Original car cost + mods is still less than 70k. :lol:
Believe me, I'm ready just to say screw it leave mine stock. When i can afford a c5 z06, just buy one. They will do 11s stock and that is good enough for me. :)

How did the c6 seem compared to a stock fbody as far as how fast?
The 06's seem a lot stronger from what i read, different pcm cali I would assume.
sorry about the hijack

Well hard to say, I wasn't beating on it lol. But it felt superior in every way. :) The steering and braking were amazing. Interior was very nice. All that and then add in an LS7, not sure how it could get much better??? :D

This guy was running mid 12's-low 13's all day.
There was another C6 Z06 that could not get into the 12's.

I saw a blue one this spring at Milan with a manufacturer plate on it that hit reverse at half track on three seperate runs.

There was a Camaro there with an LS7 in it from GM high performance. It was a test vehicle. They were trying to get it into the 11's all day long. The put slicks on it at the end of the night and they best thet got was a 12.00.

Nice run, Fadi.
:peelout:

The photographer for GMHP was there taking pics of the car as it was doing a burnout and launching. I have a video of his reaction (disgusted) when the car put slicks on and could not get into the 11's. I should have driven that car..:icon_mrgr
Nice run, Fadi.
:peelout:
Thanks brutha. Next time the car should go 11.5x. It def has the potential, even with me driving it..:laugh:
did you see the new tahoe on woodward with the streached frontend. It had a V10The engine in that vehicle has 6 more cylinders than what you think.:wink:

was it the white and blue katech car??
I found it later in the week and asked if it was a v10. The guy just said maybeNo problem, just wanted to clarify what it was. It's a V16 thats based on the LSX platform of engines that was built by Katech for GM. Imagine 2 LSX engines fused together end to end and that's basically what it looks like.
Sorry about the :hijacked:

I see. I wondered why it was so long for a mear two extra cylinders. I have seen pics of the V10 so I assumed thats what it was.
Darn stock cars. Fadi smoked me
