Nice run; my personal best bone stock (M6) is a 12.03 @ 120 and my 12.07 at 121.

These M6's are tricky getting out of the hole for sure. They come on strong on the back half. Get your slip in the 1/4 mile thread so I am not the only M6 up there bone stock with a low 12 second time! haha

where is that thread and ill post 1? ive got the m6 that I ran 12.2 with just a roto fab, dr's, chiller, no tune.

I'm assuming that 5.0 had slicks? He cut a great 60' but looks like you reeled him in pretty good on the top end. Good job!

here is the link: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21013

I finally ran on some DR's with my Rotofab and finally clicked in the 11's. I ran a 11.99 @ 118.77. I am just glad to finally get it in the 11's. I know I can do it bone stock, but I don't feel like putting the stock intake back in.

If you put on a set of drag radials you will get your 60 foot times down. I have run 11.4 with my manual on my road racing tires, toyo R888's. That was with a 2.08 60 foot time. I have a set of drag radials now but have not got to test them. I had to wait about 6 weeks for the rims to be machined and shipped. I plan to mount them and drive to the drag strip, come home and take them off in my garage. I did a bit of research before the purchase and what I was told was the best DOT street legal combination was a 17" rim (either Weld or Bogart) and the M&H 325 drag radial. Like I said I have not been able to confirm the results. There is a lot of information on drag tires in the ZL1 tire section. Rich Bogart was the one that told me as far as he knew the M&H radial was the best radial on the market right now. It will probably be next spring before I get another 1/4 mile run in, If I can get the 60 foot time down I should be in the 10's. I agree, shifting the car is like trying to tame the beast....lol. Good luck and keep us posted.

Emvici · 11-25-2013, 07:36 AM

cool, thanks for the knowledge.

Debo3883 · 11-25-2013, 12:00 PM

I'm really happy to see some good times coming out of these cars. Good job guys! I know for a fact that these M6 cars are capable of 11.7-11.8s in bone stock form with the right driver. If that Ranger guy got ahold of one of our zl1's I guarantee he could consistently run mid 11's.

big dave · 11-25-2013, 12:14 PM

I think the car is indeed capable of running 11.8s stock, but I don't know if the tires are. I was able to pull off a 1.74 60' on a prepped track in warm weather but I doubt it's possible in cold weather.

Wow you pulled a 1.74 60ft on stock tires?? That's quite impressive! What was your launch technique?

Surprisingly pretty simple. A very quick burnout to scrub the rocks off the tires, then I launched from dead idle. The video is in my sig. It was my first time ever with the car at the track. I guess I picked the best time for my first outing, the car has only gone a bunch of 12.0s since.

Debo3883 · 11-25-2013, 05:39 PM

Oh ok. I didn't realize it was a auto. That's still a great 60ft and ET!
