couldn't hook. I have gotten a 1.8 sixty foot in the past multiple times in this car, but couldn't manage better than a 2.5 today.


I just spun and spun through 1st and 2nd gears, even on 275X40X17 drag radials.

I ended up running a best of 12.603 @ 118.8...

On another pass I bogged the launch, and ran a 13.1 @ 121.2


I've got enough power for low elevens, if I can make it stick.

Next time I go back, I'm going to pull my kyb+Eibach's off, and stick a set of worn out stock struts and springs on.... might make some weight transfer happen.

Oh well, just thought I'd share

Mph is there, just gotta get the first 330' liek you said....

Stock struts will help a bit, what brand DRs are you on? Maybe its time to think about some Et streets on some sawblades :)

Good luck man :)

Ugg...i hated my Nittos when i had the 5sp :)

Are you opposed to using an Et street?

not really.... but why not just go all out with a wrinkle wall?

Et streets wrinkle....same compound/construction as a slick, just a couple grooves cut in them to make them "DOT legal"....

thats right. the ET Street DR's are the ones that don't wrinkle.

are you pre boosting? with it being cold you may not want to from my exp. it always cause alot of wheel spin with it cold. but now if its warm pre boost away. just my .02.
