With my long gone 2006 gt, I had a tune and that was it and had the stock Pirellis. My technique was to hold the car on the line at 2500 rpms. Bogging, I would go up 500 rpms, blow the tires off, would drop 500 rpms. I would pop the clutch and when the motor caught up to the tires I would stand on it. My best time was 13.51 near Detroit (altitude). Also, would do dry hops with tires just to clean them.
2.2 sixty is average not horrible. You need to ride the clutch out while depressing the throttle in a controlled manner. (Between 1-2 seconds to full throttle in first). Leave at about 2500-3000RPMs. I have the P-zeros on my Camaro. They seam to like a little heat so a few seconds of burn out couldn't hurt in my opinion. Now's the time to get back to Cecil and keep trying. You wont find a much faster track at this time of the year in the country.
Thanks, this is what I was looking for.
I have been mainly launching at 1800 RPM with a slow clutch release, but I am probably getting on the throttle too early. Will give this a try.
I wouldn't do a long burnout though on street tires. The tires that really benefit from heating up from a long burnout have a different (softer) compound than street tires.
Yes, short burn out on the P-Zeros 2-3 seconds max. Just enough to warm the rubber a little and clean them off.
