I doubt any are through the break in period.

P.S. A "track" is a road course. A "drag strip" is a drag strip.

Yes I did last night but it wasnt prepped and the timing lights were not on. We will do it again tomorrow when my track manager is there with everything working. The car hooks up very well and I will guess that it will 60 ft. under 2 seconds.

And a Speedway is a roundy-round circle or oval!

Use plenty of traction compound and with the torque that engine makes I would expect 1.8's or lower.

Looks as if 12.2-12.4 ET's are what a Z51 A6 3LT produces on a drag strip.

And that would be any 2014 Z51 A6 3LT, anywhere, anytime with any driver. The mighty Joe has spoken
