My first 0-60 times

I've never had a V8/manual before, this one is awesome.
Last evening we found a spot to practice 0-60 times with a g-tech.
It had been a 100 day and it was a slight uphill gradient and newly paved (smooth concrete?). Anyhow, my best was 4.9 out of about 10 tries. I was in Comp mode and probably dumping the clutch too much. I was getting some spin even after warming up the tires. Regular air pressure.

Any suggestions? I want to get to 4.3!

You'll easily get that 4.3 eventually. Feathering the clutch out from between 2800-3300 rpm with full pressure applied by 15 feet out I was able to obtain a 4.09 in the Z06 when it was just intake. Find a level road!

Best I've done in my few attempts on h/c yet is 4.28

Don't know, I've never tried. I am a complete amatuer when
it comes to driving a hi/per 6 speed. I appreciate your responses.
I think I need to feather the clutch a little more, I was loosing traction.

These cars are fun!

For what it's worth I'm running a 4.4 0-60. I can't imagine not spinning the tires atleast a little. Mike
