??!
Holy crap.. that's about 100lbs. less than my (weight reduced) 08 GT supercharged lol
All that weight and he still had a hard time launching on drag radials??
(2.0 best 60 ft.)
somethings gotta be off.
I am happy to be at 4350 vs the 4500 I was at rofl

That's an awesome setting. Great place for a track with all that scenery. Funny track times for the gt500 as I have seen many times they don't do well but like anything it takes time and a bit more to pull some good times.
Thanks for sharing

That is my yellow SRT4 in those pics! I ran a best of 14.6@105. I had ****ty winter tires on it at the time. I bought some m&h slicks this past week and have my summer wheels and tires on now, so once those slicks come in I'll go back and see what I can run. And that 15sec pass, I missed third gear and it locked me out until the rpm's dropped to 2k, so I lost a metric **** ton of time.
But I cut a best 60ft of 2.5!!!! haha yea not good at all, but considering that was my first time EVER racing a 1/4 track in a fwd car, (only been down a drag strip twice in my life 1/8 in my mustang II) with zero track prep at all, I can't complain! My trap was decent but had no traction through 2nd gear. My tune was all ****ed up too so that didn't help. I had knock like crazy and a very lean afr. I since then lowered boost, and pulled more timing.
And OH BTW, we have really really bad 90oct gas only, way worse than California 91. I'm buying a meth kit soon so I don't have to worry bout running that ****ty crap we call gas up here.
That white EVO trapped 115, he has a big turbo and meth, he couldn't even get traction. He bogged the launch then spun in first. But we will both go back in about 2 weeks and i'm sure we will hit our goals. He should be in the 11's, and I want low low 13's with my slicks once I figure out how to launch this car...

Don't sweat the times.. the track is HORRIBLE on any other day but prep day! Pretty sure everyone was disappointed with their times!
I ran a 13.3@100 the week before this one in the pic. I ran a 13.6@98mph that day (Gotta love awd!)
no power mods, just a 3200 torque converter. Street tires, 4500 lbs.
Hope to see you two get those times in!

Ditto on the GT500 times, I have never personally seen a stock or lightly modded 500 run anything better than 13.1/13.2..
even my old 08 w/V3 could run a 12.8@111mph on street tires and shoddy 60 ft... must suck with their street tires and low *** gear ratio..

Does it cost anything? And would I have to send it in and be without a wotbox for a week or two? (I'm in Alaska). Also, do you know how to put more than one custom tune on the DSP? I have the 3bar rescale tune, I want to pretty much duplicate that tune to make one a race gas tune and one pump gas tune...
