Had to dig back in the archives, stock 2009 C6 Z06, stock drivetrain and exhaust, Bilstein non-adjustable Sport Shocks, Mich 325/30-19 PSS tires. This was 1/2 mile standing start. I have other faster ones, but that was when they allowed roll racing with the start 100 yards before the beginning of the actual 1/2 mile.
For a more recent run, full stock 2023 C8 Z06, 345/25/21 PS4S ZP tires, PTM settings as listed. 1/2 mile standing start.
Hey Dave !!!!
Was hoping we were going to see you out there this past weekend with the new car !!!!
I finally ran my car with the new setup, but discovered I have a bad 5th gear synchro so I could only go 1 thru 4 (I have 3.90's now so need 5th to clear the 1/2 mile marker).
We haven't seen each other for quite a while, Victor. When I ran in December I found the starting line pavement "rough" and the car would not hook up like it did on the back country road up in Ely NV for the 1-mile event there. NFZ best 0-60 was 3.6 seconds and at Ely it was 3.1. Get your 5th gear fixed and your build will be a beast. At least you got a chance to see how the launch process works with it.

I've pulled a best of a 3.1 second 0-60 on street pavement with these M/T ET Street R's ...but that runway stuff is pretty rough and dusty
I ran the car up to the limiter in 4th and coasted the rest of the way
I hit 153 a bit past the 1/4 mile mark in 4th.......
What color was your car? I don’t remember seeing a stock C6, but I definitely didn’t see every pass. I made a run in one friends GTR (stock except cat back) and another friends Mach 1. Supercharged and tuned but only on PS4 tires.
Red! I only got 1 clean pass...the 2nd run I lined up against a C8Z but the car wouldn't go into 3rd and then the clutch stuck to the floor...my car was sitting next to the MPH table for about 30 minutes until I got pushed onto FNBADAZ06's trailer that he was kind enough to let me use to get it home since the towing company couldn't find a driver/flatbed for a Corvette.
