SBE NA M6 3,900lbs 5th gen still hunting 10s (getting close)
Hey ya'll. I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't notched that 10 second pass in this thing yet, but the way life is these days I'm averaging about one trip a year to the track - not really conducive to shaving hundreths of a second off time slips.
The short run down is no major changes this year. I went to a lightweight exhaust setup that shaved about 65lbs, and the driver is probably 10lbs lighter, and I remembered to pull the air filter this time! The combo is:
DA was about 1,500'. Best rip was an 11.14@123.8, 1.57 60' time. It knocked out an 11.16 and 11.20 as well, similar short times and mph. So, it's consistent. I need to go try to get in that negative Maryland air in November and see if it'll run that 10 I'm looking for. Maybe I can get there, we'll see.

Some Ethanol for fuel will help bump the power up, and some weight off will also help get towards the goal IMO.

Agree on the weight as well, if I pull stuff like crash bars, sway bar, wipers, washer fluid, etc, there is a bunch of weight that'll come off. The thing is, I like to drive this car, and I put 4-6k miles a year on it, so I'm not willing to give that stuff up. I'm tempted to try a motorcycle battery with a jump box as a quick/cheap way to get 50lbs out of the car, but other than that I'm not sure there is a lot more weight I can get out.

I had better luck. It was my 2nd time out this season & after a string of 11.6xx, I was hoping for a 11.5xx. On my 2nd last run, I decided to load my converter a little harder but it moved in the staging beams & I ended up deep. But it ran 11.60, so I knew if I held the brake harder & stayed shallow i could get my 11.5xx. When I came back to the lanes, there was nobody there, so I hotlapped & didn't expect much without any cool down at all. The run felt good tho, & I was surprised when I read my ticket 11.44! I lost a couple mph, not sure why, but I'll take it. Next time you are going to that track, drop a pm, & if I can make it I'll say hi. Maybe pick up some tips from you, I can use all the help I can get. |

Sounds like you got the pass you were looking for, that's awesome. What's the setup on your car? What color was it? I think I remember a black ZL1, a white 6th gen, and maybe a white 5th gen. I didn't get to actually watch too much, I said pretty busy in the lanes or pits other than a break to eat a $9 cheeseburger. It was pretty yummy!

We gotta get your car down there. If there ever was a true full weight car with a heck of an NA bullet to get the job done, it's yours!

This summer was hectic. It seemed like every weekend was tied up & no time for the car. If I can get the solid cradle bushings, Truetrac & 3.91 setup in maybe there will be time to get it to your secret lab before winter!!!

I'm about an hour west of that track, so the wrong direction to you, but maybe next year we can meet up there. Love that track. |

I didn't know changes were coming. You got a link with some info? Very much interested to learn more. Might be time for that Montana registration.
