Ready to Drag Race Your Corvette ??
Top-flight drag racing Corvettes are usually tailored to events, because they are so highly modified. In building a competitive drag racing Corvette, owners of spend a lot of time and money shifting weight over the rear wheels. This ensures that the rear tires get the maximum traction as the Car leaves the starting line. This re-engineering usually makes the Corvettes more difficult uses as everyday drivers. Unlike a front wheel drive car, the Corvette benefits from this weight transfer because the drive wheels are in back. Power increases vary, depending on the extent of the engine and chassis modifications the Corvette receives.
The stock LS1 6 speed Runs the quarter-mile around 13.3 seconds at 110 mph.
The automatic LS1 runs a quarter-mile around 13.8 seconds at 102 mph.
Corvette owners are very proud of how well their cars handle accelerate Russia’s speed that they can provide is hard to describe unfortunately, every traffic light you pull up to, someone invariably wants to ratio. Extending to go for it, but if you do it routinely, the long arm of the law will eventually catch you. Illegal street racing probably still occurs in your town, usually late at night on some deserted backstreet. However this type of unsanctioned racing is dangerous and sometimes fatal. So what can you do? Well, if you like drag racing, I recommend taking your Corvette to one of the many hundreds of drag strips located around the country. With proper preparation, Your Corvette LS1 automatic has the potential to turn the quarter-mile in a little over 10 seconds. The path to that goal is not cheap, but if you are a dedicated drag racer like Paul Smith, is well worth the investment. Paul purchased a red automatic NOS one Corvette two new in 1998. Paul originally had Malloch cars in preparer Ohio modify it for drag racing, including installing roll bar. The front sway bar was removed from the Corvette to reduce weight. The standard front factory brakes were replaced with light weight calipers and rotors. These lightweight units work well, while saving a lot of front and weight. Low resistance front shocks were installed to help weight shift to the rear on the starting line. The battery was relocated to the back cargo department for additional weight transfer. Base front and rear springs to remained in the car. The soft springs help the car squat in the rear and rise in the front under hard acceleration for good launches and weight transfer.
