Default going to LACR drag strip tonight.

i used to quattro 5k clutch dump launches. what is a good rpm to launch the Z? dont care too much about slipping the clutch too much, if i burn the clutch it'll be an excuse to get a jwt flywheel/clutch combo

Try 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 rpm. See which gives you the best 60 foot time.

very slow because of the high elevations.

best stock Z I saw there ran 14.8 my best run was a 12.40, but you get tons of runs in...great for practice

I ran 15.3 with my roadster with 19 inch wheels no spare tire removal. That sounds about right.
