I will try to let the clutch slip a bit not just drop it..what is feather?let the clutch slip a bit until it hooks??

 

where do i say that i have a STOCK Z??? i said that those times sounds more for a nearly stock z...not a build one

 

Listen...i made this thread to ask how can i lower times..it's up to you if you want to believe that i have the cars..

 

Post pics of your TT Z.

 

Get the 60 foot down to 2.0 seconds and you will be running better than 13.1 seconds. Whether you are running 250 or 550 horsepower, you will have to develop a technique to get you out of the hole successfully.

I assume that you are at 80 degrees with 50 percent humidity: not the best conditions for ET.

 

they are on the 1st page..but here you go

 

sorry bro i misread you...

but yeah your right. feathering is letting the clutch out and pushing it back in until you pick up traction. ie: as your letting the clutch out the tires start to spin... push the clutch in just enough to where the tires stop, but yours still moving. then go back to letting the clutch out. sounds hard, and it does take some practice, but its the best method, imo

i dont have any drag experience with my Z yet, but i have been drag racing for 13 years. i have driven everything from jr dragsters to a motorcycle powered dragster, to my current 555ci undercover chassis dragster. ive got the creds, trust me.

btw: i wasnt tryin to bash on you, just makin sure your for real

 

no problem man...i know is hard to believe that a 21 yrs old guy owns 2 cars...but yea,tommorow the track is open so i will try once again to hit at least 12' highs..im new in this drag thing and will deff try the clutch thing...some guyz on the track told me that this is a good way to find some traction, i have tried everything...launchin @ different RPMs,lowering tire pressure,even turning the lights off haha..but well hope to get more comments...

 

forgot to add this...but recently there was a match @ my local track that was Puerto Rico VS Dominican Republic..and cars that made 8sec in PR made 9 Here..so maybe the track is not that good for drag racing..I saw a Stock Z making 14.6 here..so maybe that is part of the problem..and most of those times on the webpage that i posted was using DR...

 

read everything on www.rangeracceleration.com

that site describes how to get the best time out of a z06, but the same thing can be applied to any high power rwd car

take the burn out instructions with a grain of salt, different tires require different burn out lengths, so don't over heat the tires.

for a beginner drag racer, i'd suggest starting out trying to launch at very low rpms (1500 rpm or so). as you learn how to put down the power from that rpm, increase 3-500 rpm, and keep working your way up until your putting down 2.0's to 1.9's or consistantly. then with your power, drag radials would be a smart investment after you learn how to handle the power on street tires.



also, sorry about not believing you about your car, its not that your 21 and have 2 cars, its that we get alot of wannabe's on this forum who pretend to have this and have that when they don't.

 

Most likely, you need to work on the 60 ft, and shifting.

Please post a slip so we can analyze your times.

 

Aguita do your thing bro. There are alot of haterz on here.

Very nice cars ... sorry we doubted you.

 

aguita...what track are you running at?

 

just try swapping out to a DR set-up. I find the 120trap hard to believe with 450rwhp on a dynojet though. If you are just all about parts that make you faster, then get those. If you like to make yourself faster so that you don't need to buy extra parts, or wait till you can actually use them to their capabilities, then just go to the track more often, and pick the brains of the people that are down there racing with you. I found that for me the best thing that worked on street tires was to rev the motor to about 2500-3krpm, and slowly let out the clutch so you don't spin or hop all the way down the track. About 3/4 throttle once clutch is all the way out, then in 2nd gear, smash it, if you break lose then reduce throttle a littel bit then lay into it again. I'm sure my way is wrong since I am also pretty new to drag racing with a car that can actually do something at the strip, and also my first manual transmission car. Hope this helps, and just have fun (if you truely own the vehicle).

 

I made 460whp on a dynojet and ran 11.3's at 124mph in a 5AT...definitely invest in some DR's if you want to get some respectable times

 

I mostly launch @ 2k rpm or so...yea i know about the wannabe's here.in 1 hour the track will be open..so i will go and try out again, I will try to do the feather clutch thing to improve a bit..thanks for you comments

I was told that there is no need to heat up street tires..is this true??

 

I can be wrong.but since i go to the track alone i dont have anybody that can tell me my times..I told the 120mph thing bc when i finisihed the 1/4 I saw my speedo and was 200kmh..(i have a jdm version)

today im going with some pal's so I can get all the data and let you guyz know

 

Im not in Miami..Im in dominican Republic..a island next to Puerto Rico
My local track is called Autodromo Mobil1 (Mobil1 SpeedTrack)
