I'm sure w/ some practice it could be whittled down to lower 11s @ my track. MPH would hopefully improve some, but nowhere near 130...

The stock F1s held decently, but DRs would definitely help ET.

One thing I will say is that the gearbox on the '08 is a lot more positive than the '06Z I had. There was an issue of going into a never-never land while missing a shift going into 3rd, kinda like a space between 3rd & 5th on the '06.
Thats some good times and good driving. I'm planning on gong out when the track opens in late March. Launch at about 2200-2500 RPM, pop the clutch and go, short shift 1st then dial it in from there. If I turn a bottom 12 the 1st time out I'll adjust and get better times.

Tanker is right bout the DR's. Hard to find a set for the C6 Z06's unless you go to C5 Z06 rims. I used BFG drag radials on my 02 Z06 because it wheel hopped so bad in 2nd. This car seems to smoke or haze the tires instead of hoppping so much. Of course lost traction means lost time.
