I was there too, best I could do was a 13.6 @ 107. My car only has an intake. I also struggled with the 60 ft best being a 2.4.

I went 1.87 on stock tires when I had the M6. Takes practice

I noticed they didnt prep the track at all. Most tracks will prep before they start and prep again during lunch. Track prep makes a difference especially with street tires.

I did my runs bone-stock. Just did a lot of trial and error, changing up the launch rpm, and the rate of clutch slippage. My best 60-foot was a 2.07, most of the 60-foots were 2.2's.

Did you try the launch control feature?

Haha... yeah, launching at 4200 on stock tires will really help his wheelspin issues.

Yeah I was launching around 2200 rpm feathering the clutch and still spinning getting into the throttle, don't think a 4000 rpm launch using launch control was gonna help me any lol.

I think alot of the difference too is you were on different tires, different gear ratios and different suspension which is stiffer causing more wheel spin and less squat on my 1LE.

Sounds exactly like the first time I went to Fontana on street tires.
Shitty 60's blowing the tires off all the way till the middle of second almost lol
Somewhere around a 2.3 was my best 60.
Best ETs were 13.1 to 13 flat. At 116-117mph.

This winter I'll have a DR setup on 18" Z06 take offs, and I'll go back and try to get somewhere in the 11's.

What mods you have? Where's the best place to find those wheels? I can't seem to find any anywhere.

I have whats in my sig.
CMS custom grind cam, headers, intake.
Not sure yet on where to get the wheels. I'm gonna ask Ryne or Mike what they suggest next time I'm at CMS. But yeah, fronts off a C6 Z06. Then a 305 Hoosier or MT.
