Um...dont try to launch too high....uh....stay away from light poles which in my experience drag strips tend to have alot of.

Do I need to warm my tires up beforehand on street tires?

Also you didn't guess what you think I"ll run

for the best possible ET let me drive.

spin your tires once or twice, Drive AROUND the water. No long burnouts you'll just make em slippery there street tires.

ok i already done told you, don't drop the clutch, pedal it, launch @ 2-2800 experiment, if you spin ESP if you wheelhop, let off dont break yer IRS.

Drive it like hell powershift your synchros won't go bad i prhomise.

Im a little lightheaded.

I'm kinda scared I'll break something if I powershift

i think youll run about a 14

Hlistr_07RR · 10-31-2009, 12:53 AM

LOL, I know how to shift and launch, well kinda I mean street launching...I've just never been to the track. I think I'll do better than 14, but my 1st pass might be 14-15

SVTeeshirt · 10-31-2009, 12:53 AM

lol they can handle it, i've done it many a times.

Make sure everyone there knows it's not a termi so you don't get LS1 owners lol'ing at the termi running mid 14's.

But fa surrus, you can launch 120387129387x's harder on the track than on the street. What performance mods do you have done, brah?
