More carnage
Well I got to drag race and I did beat my personal best time. I had couple of minor problems, I thought I had a race gas tune in my hand loader but did not. Have not raced the car since Oct so I understand the oversight but I already put $100 worth of race gas in the car before I tried to load the tune and found it was not there. So the passes I made were a few ponies less than I could have run with the right tune. My first pass the traction control did not turn off so I made a terrible burnout and then spun cold tires in every gear down the track. Next pass was the record pass and then my clutch warped to the point it would not disengage enough to go into reverse and would no longer do no lift shifts. I tried a couple of passes on a slipping clutch but only ran in the 11's on the last passes.
10.897 @ 125.59 is my new best. Time to bring it to the shop again. Should I put in clutch # 4 in 8000 miles or just put in an auto? That auto is starting to sound tempting....lol. I'm trying to post a video and failing.. . Seems I forgot how.

I'd go Auto if you really want to get everything, time wise, out of the power you're making... Lots of things to get right when rowing gears with that much power/torque.

...I like your posts and such, but carnage ....well, there is no carnage, just sayin'. ...saw the post headline and thought there was a disaster like a wreck or something. I am glad that's all there was you posted about was performance. No carnage involved...

Ok, so no carnage. From the subject line I thought you had blown your engine, the rearend, or made a left turn halfway down the track.
Glad there's no actual carnage. Congrats on your new best!

what was your 60'? Sorry about the clutch issue. If clutches are such a PITA, definitely go auto and never look back! The 6L90E is a great tranny...you will love it, and I have never read of a failure here.

I think that is the first ever pass in the 10's for a ZL1 with a stick. Congrats. I think you are the record holder.
As for the carnage, I don't know........ |

I guess you are right about me having the record for a manual. Thank you. There is a lot more potential in this car though if I can just pull everything together. I did get the car to Andy without calling a wrecker so that is not really carnage but looking at what the repairs will cost to replace the clutch and refurbish the trans sure feels like carnage....I did not budget the clutch before the Texas mile...and it is gone...

Just curious but what's the approximate cost on an auto conversion?

thanks for humoring me....lol. If you lived closer I just might try to get some lessons.
I never did get and exact price but he said it was a lot more than my $3200 clutch.

I LOVE my 6 speed standard but if drag racing was my main purpose I'd just get the automatic and be done with it. That is very impressive for a standard car that weighs that much and is still streetable.
Great job.
