OK,
In all fairness the Vette was on street tires, so traction was the real deciding factor.

The American Racer G60 All Pro's starting grabbing hard after a couple of good burnouts. After several bogs the l;aunch was taken to 5k and the clutch dropped w/ abandon.

I was a little worried that the slightly taller tires w/ softer compound would cost some mph compared to the Nitto's. Looks like the dyno tune offset the difference. The back end sways gently the whole length of the track. Tire pressure was 15-16psi. Gotta go change the sig [burnout]

Hell Yeah. You must have made him feel like a dipshit. Time for a sig change [dance]

Jim that run was awesome [patriot] [burnout] Can't wait to see what it does with the next set of mods [Big Grin] After that you will have to get a cage in that bad boy.

Excellent times Jim. Nice to see a bunch of new bests all on the same timeslip.

Those times are VERY impressive, congrats man!

Looks like the FM stable may have it's 3rd 11sec pony soon.

Congrats Jim! Hey, on your dyno graph it looked like you still had a tad more power to gain by dropping fuel pressure 1 psi. Just a thought, I know every last bit counts now that you're knocking on the door of 11's. What about a home made ram-air kit or pulling the belt?

traction, my ass, you killed him in mph, too!
way to go, Jim!
i think it's about time for a rematch with my cobra, don'tcha think!?
with the Nittos on my car now, i shouldn't get so abused off the line!
 
Posted by FasterDamnit (Member # 442) on :
 
He-He! If the long tubes get me that close, then you bet! Actually, if I have to go beltless to run an 11, then I can run 12.0's and just take it off for those special occasions...

[Eek!]

Thanks! He did trap over 113 earlier in the day. Guess my intimidating looking little green mustang threw him off his pace. Jeff that works in the tower (eljefe) overheard him telling his friends how he got waxed by that green Mustang on DIRT TRACK TIRES! [Razz]
Tell you what, once you have some practice launching on 'em, we can have a go. The nice thing about these A/R's is how easy it is to launch on them. The Nitto's took some real finesse to get a good take off.

Heck ya man I am just waiting on my Tax re-turns. I filed them Friday night on the Net and they will be in my Bank in 10-14 days and then I will have a little whislter in my Engine compartment [Big Grin]

great run, chipped another tenth away 'eh [Wink]

was it this guy?
divx movie
I ran him in November, '01 Z06 running 12.9s @ 112-114 with 2.0 60's totally stock on stock tires. (red if you're lazy to click, guy I think a white dude in his late 20's yeah I know that narrows it down none)
 
Posted by FasterDamnit (Member # 442) on :
 
And where were you, young man? More like 1.6 tenths... It was black and running over 113 earlier in the day. He said he had run a best 60ft of 1.88 on his street tires previously. Guess the little green grocery getter was just too overwhelming for him. [Eek!]
Sneaking up on the 11's- putting off safety equip. decision just a while longer.

3 days skiing in Whistler explains my absence [Big Grin]
I'm a vacuum leak away from a trip to Sac on the 1st and 8th.

Maybe I can sneak up on you at the tree [Wink]

Think so? Well, with your weight reduction I think your traps should be pretty good, so the ET should be there. As far as the tree goes, how many bracket trophies do you have ? I've got two... (scary, huh?)

Tremec-3550 = + 40 lbs
Steel bellhousing = +40 lbs
6-pt rollbar = + 65 lbs
full length subs + DS loop = + 25 lbs

weight reduction 'eh? I bet my car is heavier than yours, lol. I would like to try that digital scale at Sac when I get there! (but the rollbar isn't in so maybe I am slightly lighter, but with it, I doubt it)

far as the tree goes, well... [worship]
