drag racers....goals for 2011

[BurningRubber]

Actually you would have been just a little faster... I just grabbed the time ticket. I would scan it but I have no scanner...

R/T: .583
60': 2.002
330: 5.576
1/8: 8.384
MPH: 86.81
1000: .000
1/4: 12.789
MPH: 110.62

Not too shabby, I had a crappy launch and I was bouncing off the rev limiter when i went through the traps, and it was on street tires. I cant wait to see what it will do with 3.73's if i can get it to hook.

the front sway bar advice is definately noted. does it bounce around or anything when driving with it disconnected? I have a 25 min drive to the track, and i dont want to mess with it while im there.

My 60' was a 1.93... I think if you didn't run out of gear you'd probably take me, especially if you had drag radials. I think it's too hard to tell aside from running them, lol.

Without the swaybar it's not bad at all. I rode around with it disconnected for a week or two after the trip to the track and you get used to it pretty fast. A little more body roll but it doesn't wander around or anything. May be more noticeable if you're running a skinny wheel/tire up front.

i've had mine off since august! i don't even notice it being gone anymore.

Aren't you going to need a NHRA compliant 5-point for sub 10.99?

No, you need a cage for 11.49 and lower. That is why I got booted. I plan on just getting in 2 passes each time I go, a warning, then kicked out. Not much practice going that way, but I don't want to cage the car right now.

Thanks Tank

I should break 130 next week with meth. I have to make it up on the top end of the track to keep the rear end on this car in one peice. Been there too many times in my c5

i ran a 12.6 at 117mph last year. im shooting for high 11s with a trap of 125mph plus with some suspension work and custom made headers to the turbo along with a wot box to try to build boost off the line

 

[ShapeShifter]

12.60 would be nice,

I'm hoping for mid 10s or better, but I have to get the car back on the road first!

Got a little closer. Clutch won't let me do a burnout or launch above 2k, it's toast and it is getting a new one this coming week. I went for it on the 3rd pass tonight, 60ft was a mid 1.7, and it just stuck to the floor and wouldn't come out of first gear. Got a video of it.

Still happy with only 5-7 passes with boost and drag radials, I can't complain.

Adding a little more power too, so hoping for 10.50's at 132-134mph in 2 weeks, if the stock rear/suspension holds.

Congrats on the 130 trap..its moving!

Nice times! just need that 60ft to go down

Nice times! just need that 60ft to go down

Thanks! It will happen when I get a clutch that will not stick to the floorboard

 

[mineralgraygt]

i went 1.78 60ft went 12.69 at 108.6 with full bolt ons and cams with drag suspension. i changed my upper 8.8 bushing to spherical one and putting battery in the trunk and gonna switch to 4.30s and possibly take some weight out and cut a good 60 i think i could go atleast 40s hopping for four 30s

Break into the 13's at least I know the car has it in it to run a high 13's best time I ran last friday was a 14.3 at 98mph on 87 octane tune... I need better tires for the track so I can launch at 2500-3000rpms..

 

[d98gt]

Let me drive it this Friday

 

[Winters98GT]

Let me drive it this Friday

thought you had your own car.

 

[d98gt]

I do but I want to test my driver skills

Not in my car. Maybe when I add a rear end to it. I'll be the one to break the first one

 

[d98gt]

I want to drive 03_trueblue_gt' s car into the 13s! We already know I would put yours into the 10s

Me riding in your car is liable to break your flimsy rear end.
