I initially posted this in the street racing section, but it looks like it belongs here. :secret:

'09 Corvette - Stock LS3 A6 with Z51 2.73 gears

I spun pretty bad and had to peddle. 2-3 shift was tough. We ended up pulling over after this run so I could throw some gas in the tank and adjust the clutch cable out a bit.

C6 wanted 60 roll. Pretty bad spot to go from for Cobra. Too high for 2nd, but low in 3rd. Took me a couple seconds to get into my powerband.

Nice kill :beer::beer:

Those new LS3 corvettes seem to move out pretty good though

Looks like they're a low 12/high 11 second capable car in stock form.
Trap speeds of 115-117 seem to be the average.

I should trap roughly 118-120 up here in the PNW's nice cold air and low DA's. 2-2.5 CL's on the 60 roll makes sense.
