    The magazine claims 12.1 @ 119 mph with a rolling start... rolling start?!?! The hardest thing to do with it is to get it to leave on stock tires from a dead stop.

    I went to the track yesterday and the best I got it to run 100% bone stock with 110 miles on it was 12.41 @ 115.9 mph. I was leaving from idle and my 60' was horrible and I couldn't stand on it until it was already in 2nd gear. I could see much better times on a tire!

    Thought it had a drag setting to help launch?

    That's pretty soft on the mph department. Your tune and mods are going to make you look like heroes because I expect to see 120+ mph with very few changes.

    I couldn't get it to hook no matter what I did and only got a small number of passes. Next time it will have a tire. No matter what the ET was it MPH that every time. I expect with a tire alone it would go into the 11's and pick up about 5 mph.

    Manual ZL1's have the launch control, right???

    Did the magazine test an auto or stick?

    I believe a tire would indeed drop you into the 11s. I'm just not thinking that traction would increase your mph by 5. MPH is more of a function of power where ET is more about 60' times. I fully anticipate BIG gains from your tuning and bolt-on mods though. I hope to see what the ET is bone stock with traction so we can see a better representation of what the future mods do at the track.
