Wavy forehead Que is Back with another one! Man this was one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched in a while both you and Bluprint 1LE coming through with the bangers! Making me feel like I need to come out of retirement and be Reckless RCF again lol. Man from the fan following you in the parking lot, to getting chased by wasps, to you cementing your Hoochie Daddy king status while almost breaking into the 3 second club, this video was extremely enjoyable!

@@QueTheChaotic You're welcome fam, and yeah man I'm actually really impressed with how well you hooked and booked in that car, cause I just test drove a ZL1 and I couldn't hook for anything, I wonder if your mods on the car made a difference, or if you're just that good of a driver cause it's hard to get good times like that in a ZL1.

I love the fact that it’s not easy. It’s a sports car. I think launching is all about clutch control. Yeah you did great. Drag racing is hard on everything. Ok. So all wheel drive is so awesome? I raced two WRX STI’s on my last track day and it was rainy that day. Guess who won on a wet track?

[@jwhite828]

Awesome video bro! From experience, the following might help drop those times: -Lowering your 2-step/launch to around 2000 rpm. The TCS is fighting for grip. -Set the suspension to a soft setting as opposed to a firmer setting. -Drop some pressure in your rear tires. Maybe in 5 psi increments.

[@QueTheChaotic]

Awesome! Thanks for the tips! I'll come back to this video in the not too distant future and try again.

[@kidcubi9675]

@@QueTheChaotic if you're trying to beat C/D times with similar variables, they set tire pressures to manufacturer recs for testing (info that any owner would see in an owners manual or vehicle panel). So lowering the rears makes it less than a head-to-head comparison.

[@Gearbhall]

@@QueTheChaotic Keep in mind C/D doesn't use launch control. They are doing super abusive launches that nobody should ever do to their own street car.

[@QueTheChaotic]

@@Gearbhall wow. No launch control. What kind of wizardry are they using. I can’t even figure out how to disable launch control

[@Akintich]

@@QueTheChaotic Don't floor it - hold the gas so the engine hovers around 2500-3000 RPM and practice releasing the clutch while giving it more gas... so it's at the edge of traction without slipping the clutch too much. Lower the tire pressures after a couple of launches, that way the tires warm up and pressures stabilize, no need to do a burnout on a street tire.

[@malthumb]

Que, two words… Milan Dragway. I’ll be more than happy to go there with you. Bluprint would probably be down too. Prepped surface will help and you’ll get some good 1/4 mile times recorded too. My best 1/4 mile in the Fifty convertible is 12.1 and my best 0-60 is 4.1. You should be able to beat both those numbers because you have a lot more power and I think you might also be lighter.

[@QueTheChaotic]

That would be awesome. I want to go

[@NSTYZL1]

I was able to get a 3.2 in a manual 2018, but it took like 6 tries. I wasn't using the launch control.

Man you better hope that Priest don't find this video after you called him a thief in the night LOL But yeah I'm Team Tires. I agree with the people saying it's the tires. That and your trying on basic roads. You just not in optimum conditions and every thing counts when it comes to zero to second. If you still had the carseats in the backseat I'd even go as far as to remove them as well. Any little bit would help imo. But man if you struggling to hit a 3.9.... I don't even wanna test mines lol if I see a 5 second anything pop up I think I would cry.

[@V.VIIIBeanman]

@@QueTheChaotic LOL see man you was definitely unprepared. I did a run last night. Just one tho and I got a 4.9. I was soooooo happy it wasn't anything with a 5. On my end I left mines in sport mode and I didn't put it in competitive mode or mess with TC. Also my tires are continentals so I think a 4.9 is solid for being so unoptimized.

You have a beast of a car. I'll come back around to a Shelby in the future. I want the R

[@ClutchKillers]

So here’s what’s interesting about the Camaro’s, Chevy recommends using Race mode when on the drag strip for the best times (something with the traction control and differential tuning). However, Race mode uses the stiffest suspension setting (Track), which is not optimal because it increases the chance of wheel hop. If we could use Race mode with Tour suspension setting, that would yield the best results, but sadly we don’t have that option. Chevy should’ve given us a dedicated Drag Mode.

[@QueTheChaotic]

I agree!
