This is NOT me but it was such a great run I couldn't help but share it with you guys!
Showroom Stock LS3 runs 11.7!!!! New Record!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats right, you boys heard it. The showroom stock C6 record has been broken. (by two people)
Englishtown, NJ, cold day, corvette challenge. Where was I? I was in the test and tune lane with no pressure added to my launches.
So here are the times, the attached slips, a link to the video, and excuses lol
Stock Tune:
1. 11.844 @ 119.64 mph - 1.871 60' - Little bogging, hot run (just got there) 2. 11.829 @ 121.23 mph - 1.914 60' - Bog, Coolant at 170* in staging lanes, also I think the mph is wrong, doubt I trapped that high. 3. 11.718 @ 119.94 mph - 1.839 60' - Good launch, more in it, Coolant at 130*
After that run I thought it probably can't get much better so I loaded my tune to hopefully compare to the stock tune on the same day.
My Tune:
4. 11.892 @ 120.19 mph - 1.971 60' - Clutch stuck to ground, pulled up with foot and got back on it. Notice the higher trap even after lifting. Coolant was at 130* 5. 11.836 @ 120.10 mph - 1930 60' - Clutch half way to ground, left off, got back on it. Maybe I need a stronger clutch. Once again, notice the trap is higher even after lifting. Coolant was at 120*
I think the car had an 11.5 in her today with my tune. I estimate this because comparing the delivered torque sensor it says peak hp is 585 on the stock tune, and 612 on my custom tune. The difference is 4.4%. So take 4.4% times 390 rwhp (guessing) and that equals 17rwhp. I imagine that is enough, combined with the even greater mid range gain to slam this car into an 11.5 on that day, in those air conditions, at that track.
For those interested, the stock tune was loaded the night before, driven that night, then on the two hours to the track.
My 08 Vette is the M6, base package, no options (no Z51, NPP, etc)
P.S. Another board member here, Rich I believe, ran a 12.0 with his LS3 A6 with 29 PSI in the tires and banging off the limiter in 4th... definately slowing him down.
