I would be afraid of getting a lot of wheel spin stalling it up? Was the track prep really good? I'm just trying to figure out how you got off the line so fast without getting wheel spin.

Thanks.

Track prep was good there are rentals on wensdays so the track was hooking. Just the norm heat the tires a few rotations to clean them off and I stalled it as hard as I could with out breakstanding.

Very nice times. I was wondering when the L99's were going to start cracking 12's. The 1/8 to 1/4 mile time variation makes sense when you consider the torque management is much more severe in the lower gears.

We had our A6 at the track Friday at the Supercar Reunion at Gateway (hot & humid)...dad & little brother ran some mid-13s (in 'D' with traction control), but I tried running it in manual mode but didn't have any luck (first time I'd *ever* driven the car was down the 1/4!)...I thought I had the TC off, but the thing kept nosing over north of 5K...didn't feel like the limiter, but it's like sitting in the space shuttle with all the buttons/lights, so who knows? Car doesn't have much of a converter, either, and needs more gear out back. Was fun hot-lapping the car, but that's the last fun we'll have with the 6.2L...next stop, 427.

Congrat's! nice timeslip. Nice reaction time.

I am sure the temperature helped at New england dragway.. it is getting into the 50's at night here now.. I live 20 minutes away. probably wasn't quite that cold then but it is getting there.

Did you find a way to get the fans to come on when parked , I was thinking about heading up wednesday night .

DMAX · 09-06-2009, 09:12 PM

Have you had it dyno'd? I have heard the LS99 is only putting out 305 HP/280 TQ to the wheels

Thats only like 55 more HP than the V6 is putting to the wheels but its a second and a half faster? Makes no sense.

It makes no sense because those numbers you "heard" are way off...

Do a search.

Most the stock L99's are dynoing around 320 rwhp (on average).

These (305 rwhp cars) seem to be associated with low octane gas and a bad "low octane" tune. These cars seem to benefit greatly from the "pull fuse fix." that you can read about in the engine forum.

The Camaro in GM High Tech Mag that ran 13.3 @ 105 mph in hot and humid S.W. Florida dynoed 318 rwhp. In cooler air it could have easily run 13.0s - 13.1s @ 107 mph or so.
So the L99 doesn't need a lot of rwhp to run fast times. The L99 makes a lot of torque at lower rpms. That makes up for its lower rwhp numbers on the top end.

We tried to tell all the Naysayers early on "wait til fall when it cools off", but everyone was running around like, "the sky is falling the sky is falling, slow L99's everywhere"...Wait til mid-late october, people will be coming on here running mid 12's in stock auto's (especially you guys up at NED and Atco with your crazy DA).

Nice runs for sure man!
