Just remember....Farmer had a full drag pack with extremely negative DA when he ran 9.98 with a 1.4 60ft time. So he put a lot of power on the ground.

Being a racer on slicks and dedicated drag cars as noted above for the past 25 years I am more interested in times on stock tires, slower yes, but I want to drive to track through the gate and send it. Here's Emelia from 9 months ago, last pass was 10.51.

A handful did low 130s on stock tires and the fastest on a drag radial did 135, but you better be skilled with a 3rd pedal to make it happen as it isn’t an automatic with launch control holding rpms and adjusting clutch release. Also IAT is more sensitive being FI, so they’re close in optimum conditions though my money would be on the C8Z06 on average.

I’m just saying farmer did a 9.9. I didn’t mention a date. Doesn’t make a difference to me. I was just putting it out there

When you are launching on the track and using launch control, which setting are you using? Are you using race mode with competitive driving on? Thanks!
