If I had dragstrip grip, I would just mash it..... but I have traction limited surfaces right now..... I have to roll into the throttle just for a split second to get rolling or I destroy the tires......
Thanks... I'll try again as I figured traction would be good enough for a straight mash but I got sideways doing that with everything off so didn't try it again.

That autocross looks like you had some fun! I always feel like the ZL1 doesn't have room to breath at these events, though.

Drag strip video:
- You were pulling hard on that other Camaro in the left lane. Did you end up catching him on the big end? It looked really close.
- If you wait 'til after the burnout to turn on PDR, the performance data will be more accurate. Notice the 0-60 is up even before you start? Those numbers are based on wheel travel (odo) & wheel speed (speedo).
- TC coming on at launch. You were definitely getting wheel spin if TPM was kicking in.
- This video doesn't match your 11.7 time slip (right lane in video). Did you have another PDR video - one to match this pass?

--Cal
Total accident on the sound. Turned it off on the way to the track and I thought it reset to on again when the car was restarted. Guess not.

- I forgot to turn on PDR for my 1st run which was very slightly faster than all other runs. Most every run was the same 11.70 @ 124.5 and all 2.0 60'. Good catch on the lane change

- 0-60 resets on it's own at the start line so 3.8 was the correct time. Lot's going on pushing/learning buttons... PDR, then Line Lock, then Launch Control and start laptop data logging.

- Working on the wheel spin. Hope to figure out a good combo soon. Trap times were super consistent at 124/125 with the crappy 60'

Just press a button to mark the start/finish line and it puts a map file on your stick and remembers the location coordinates. Notice it loops down a bit at the bottom. This is because AutoX you don't drive back over the start line and it tracked my drive to the parking/staging area too.

Was cool to see this thing hit 4th gear on the take-off to the 4th cone and then hold the RPM's above 4k for the entire run with no manual shifting on my part. One of the instructors that drove it was totally blown away.
