I have a 92 Vette and i love the car, I have a hyperchip in it and cats cut off and a cold air intake. Its been the best car i've ever owned and i've owned many cars !
my dad always taught me to drive cars well. he prefeered to take me him self than I do it my self and end up crashing or something LOL... that when I was 18... he taught me double clutching heel and toe and other cool stuff ... to keep the engine safer when going around the tracks... my firt car was a mustang gt , and know i have an M3 e46 2002 way better car. I like how his dad teachis him i remember those times
lt1 vettes are easily 13 second cars, zr1's are a 12 second ride. Looking good out there, I'm sure you had a blast. I hope to be out there this year!!
Nice. Just a question, but why would you "slow it down with the engine"? Don't you mean the transmission, and why not just use the brakes? Just a question no harm.
you use both the brakes and the engine to slow the car, its hard on the brakes to only stop with the brakes at speeds over 100, thats when you get major brake fade, so it helps to let the engine slow it down as well.
It's a good idea to rev-match the tranny to the engine if you're downshifting to slow down. Just shifting down with out rev-matching is actually just going to wear out your trans faster. Brake pads are a lot cheaper than putting a trans in.
3200 is not where you launch an lt1 corvette. lower the rear tire pressure to 26 psi, launch from 2500 rpm and shift when it hits 5700. you will drop your 1/4 down to 13.6
you are right I launch my lt1 camamro at 2500. bytheway like you said that guy has to lower his rear tires pressure, do a real burnout, and get better reation times. and do some power shfting, or at least shift better, he just made the corvette look like a slow car(mustang)
Was that your Dad teaching you? Awesome! Good job for both of you. I have a 01 and a 92 Vette. The 92 is a far better drive as far as sports cars go. The 01 is more comfortable, less noisy, roomier, etc but the 92 is where the fun is.
vetts tough. Breaking the transmission is not so easy but loosing control under power is . My advice to this kid is to take it very easy for the first year of ownership. In other words leave the ASR on and don't corner fast. It will do a 360 if you corner at 30mph with your foot off the gas. So learn how to drive this car. Its unlike any other. In time he will learn to love it even more.
Nice run,Good to see a young man at the track and not racing on the street,just not worth it,stay on the track and your time will get better.Nice Vette.
From a roll tho I think the 6 speed would be faster. Because their drivetrain is alot stronger. They have the DANA 44 and Autos have the DANA 36. I only have 2.59 gearing so my car really only pulls up top.
Hey man nice run! I have a 92 yellow C4 too! With the black GS stripes. I have Slp intake and no mufflers, but mine is auto I hit a 13.5 on friday night! I posted a video check it out man!

for an even better time use Firestone firehawks, launch at 2200 and you may pull off a 13.2.

a stock 300 hp '92 vette is NOT going to run a 13.2 .A ZR-1 that year would barely run that.

It's best he learned how to do it the rite way rather than fishtail it into a divider or break the transmission from improper shifting.
