The factory numbers on the dash and on the PDR video playback are not reliable. I have found that when comparing the PDR's Video Times to track time slips for the 1/4 mile, they are understated by as much as -0.1933 seconds and sometimes overstated by +0.060. Only rely on track time slips or Dragy numbers.

Im guessing the launch control isn't optimized for a super sticky drag surface. But I think its probably more likely that the wetness of the track was the main factor as you've surmised. When a very stick surface gets wet, it will actually get more slick than if it were a regular road surface getting wet with the same amount of water. The purpose of the water is to actually slick up the tire so that you can burnouts more easily to warm it. But you have evaporate the water completely on your tires by the time you line up. If you don't then the water can build up on the track as well as any potential wetness from cars that have lined up before and after you.

@vette-air911turbos33 жыл бұрын
Nice buddy. The new C8 is amazing & anticipating greater performance from the big brother - Z06. That said, do not trust your on-board computer. And yes, track prep is vital for full drag-racing performance extrapolation...along with driving skills. And yes, lack of decent track prep can result in slower times vs a fairly flat - decent street surface. As stated by many, buy your self a Draggy or Vbox (I've used both) - both are great tools which can allow you to only see what the car is capable of running as testing surfaces allows. Additionally, the testing results can also help you tune your driving skills (launch technique, sitting position, best tires psi and so on). In the end, track results is the true indicator. However, for many, track is not an easy option or an option it all due to proximity. This is also when a Draggy or Vbox shines. They will provide performance metrics close to a track...much more realistic vs factory on-board computers. Summary, get a Draggy or Vbox. Be safe!

Hi Austin. That is so funny! "2.6 in your face!" Just amazing. I'm actually not sure of the wisdom of doing accelerations with the tires prepped for Laguna Seca. As you've shown, being hooked up has a lot to do with setting the car up correctly with the driver's selection of the combination things that must be selected. There is sometimes a little more weight with a passenger that helps to limit the wheel slip. Love the way you go over the fact that this car is a "Jack-of-all-trades and Master-of-some."

Hi Austin, you are great for the C8 community. What setting did you use for you run. Thanks

Base model non z51 , did you break the rings in early in the break in period?

Tires need to be cleaned off and warmed up with a burnout. Water or no water. I know it’s tough to do it in that car. Might be easier if you started the burnout in the water and rolled out of the water to the dry pavement to heat up the tires.

Not enough burn out and might need to drop the tire pressure some. Water box area might've been contaminated too, with some oil or something.

The fact that the C8 is better on the street, and even with a stock tire......there's going to be a lot of butthurt out there. lol. Mild mod C8's are going to be nuts. I personally would want a white one with no wing. Make it look as base as I could. Then a few pounds of boost. 😂🤣

You can see clearly the tires are wet at 4:34. Do a proper burn out if you run into the water box.

Did you drop pressures at all? Also have to avoid the water box completely. No front or rear tires then just kind of launch up to the line so you get a little spin and dust the tires off

That was very interesting, any idea what was happening on that drag strip? i mean u could hear tire sping half way down, bad preped surface, to much old rubber on it?.. weird

Some cars are just faster than others. I had a 1996 Mustang GT stock that would give the same year Trans Ams a run for their money. If you’re from the era and know pony cars of the 90’s you’ll get my point.
