M6 guys only, how do you get your best 60ft? I know the norm is having all the nannies off. Has anyone had better results on a different mode?

I've ran in Competitive Mode and my 60ft wasnt anything to brag about. With TC on, it bogged down to much, but i only tried it once. Next time I go I plan on running nannies off. If I can ever get back out to the track between rain and work.

In my A6 I run all nannies off if that helps any. I know it is not a M6, but might help.

I got my best time slipping the clutch at about 5k rpm on bolt ons with drag radials. I had all the nannies off. I'll be at high hp level so I always wondered if the stabilitrac would help with the wheel spin at all

All nannies off, 1500 rpm launch, slicks and skinnies.
Best 60' so far is 1.59.

Is that on stock axles?

I back halfed my SS with all ZL1 and BMR parts. Axles are ZL1.

Oh ok. If you don't mind me asking how much does a set of stock zl1 axles cost. Are you auto or manual?

JakeW1990 · 03-11-2016, 03:29 PM

I've tried and tested this. The less help you have the better off you are when attempting a straight line shot at a TRACK with proper tires. Otherwise, Comp mode would probably be best for street.

Nannies off at strip, M6, bolt-ons = 1.6 60'
Comp mode at strip, M6, bolt-ons = 1.9 60'

Although Comp mode is less severe than full nannies, it does still have TC and will not allow burnouts and strong launches. I have videos of my learning of the TC system on the car and it's a whole other animal with good tires and nannies off.

I bought all the ZL1 stuff as a set, so I have no idea what the axles cost. I am M6.

That's a nice 60'. Was that on 20's? Can you post a link to the video?

Great thread!

This may be a dumb question but how do you do "nannies off"? I've run in competitive mode and when I shift to second it's almost as if the car hesitates and then goes. I ran with TC off and didn't get much better. My best time so far, STOCK everything, is a 13.7 at 107 mph. Tire pressure has not been touched since I picked it up brand new so I'm sure it's very high. Thought about lowering the pressure a bit to see if that helps. The factory F1's are definitely sticky.

Hold the TC button for a 10 count. Now you are in control of the car.
