Nice! Just back from the track myself, and not even close to breaking 13!thump_rrr said:My 1st year goals were to
1) get a 60ft time of less than 2.00 on the factory tires which I accomplished 2 weeks ago with a 1.95 60ft.
2)Get below 13 Seconds with a minimum of performance mods which I accomplished with just a C&L intake and a Diablosport Predator on BFG Drag Radials.

The gearing is still stock.kj_cinci said:Nice! Just back from the track myself, and not even close to breaking 13!
Did you change your gearing or is that mostly from suspension parts?
I guess you're to the left on the slip? If so you broke your 60 record too!!
I know I can't do better than 13.5 with my current set up... but soon it will be better!
It must be a traction issue.kj_cinci said:Me too have a road race set-up with Eibach Pro Springs and sway bars... The upper control arms are quite a bit beefer on the Eibachs than stock was...
I have never experienced wheel-hop, not even during the burn outs...
I should be around 300 RWHP with a cone filter/MAF, CMDP, UD pulleys, an after cat X, and axle-backs, with a (many!) professional custome tune (s)... I also have a short throw and MT ET Streets.
Started at 17 PSI in the tires and ended up at 13. Spun a bit on take off pretty much every time I tried to drop it... no way at 4,000 RPM! Learned that I was best of at about 3000 with a bit of clutch feathering at the third yellow...
Track was a bit slippery the 'pros' said... there was some glue (they put it on for the big boys.) It was cold, maybe 50 F, ~10 C and windy, overcast, no idea about track temp... It had been raining for 24 hours before but the track was obviously dry since they were open...
I was about .8 worse on a track in worse shape with my regular tires last weekend so I was happy with the improvements...
This is the 2nd fastest S197 they've seen they said... they make fun of them at the tracks here... sticks are closer to 15 than 14, autos do better....
He only does one mod at a time.kj_cinci said:Your friends gearing should be helping at least .5 of a sec I've been told...
I told you not to do more than 2 runs without letting it cool off.kj_cinci said:Maybe I just need some more practise... Saturday my clutch started to give (mostly smell, heard/felt som slip 2nd to 3d) after run 4 or so...
Ted has 15 years experience. His consistency is amazing. I'm sure your times will improve with time.kj_cinci said:Cool, he has a nice running car and is obviously a good driver!
I have 10 runs under my belt on the strip in a car... maybe 200 on a bike... the rest of my racing was on road courses in M3s... So I guess I'll learn...?!?
I let it cool allot... was there 4 hours for 7 runs... did a couple back to back just for compairson... as you know that's what I do now... test and try...
With ET Street Radials on an 05 GT your 60ft should be in the 1.7-1.8 range from what I've seen at 4 different tracks. 2 in Quebec 1 in New Jersey and 1 in New Hampshirekj_cinci said:Yup... I got it... the guys at the shop told me today... my burnouts suck! :sosad:
I have to swing by the shop for a 'burnout class' and practise on the way to the track Friday (or Saturday depending weather...) with the stickies on of course... didin't count with my reg tires in the rain today... :tongue
Then I should be able to jump of the line better, get a sub 2 60 and low 13s 1/4...?? :dunce:
