For an old guy like me, it works good to pedal-to-metal it when the second yellow goes OUT. Best R/T that way was .522 seconds; others consistently around .550 (.500 is perfect; .499 is a redlight disqualifier).

I've done maybe twenty-five 1/8-mile runs, and other than the pure addictive enjoyment of legal, safe, Wide Open Throttle, the only downside I have noted is that the back panel gets covered with sandy dust.. I know they sweep the track, but I think there is sand in the asphalt mix, and it comes out and gets sucked up and blasted around by the reverse aerofoil shape of cars as they go down the road at speed. No biggie; couple light passes with the California Duster and all is well.

 

drag racing can be like crack. do it once and good chance you will become an addict

 

I didn't know they had clutches on autos... isn't that what torque converter is for, we got an idiot here.
To answer the question though the chances of something going "kaboom" are 1 to 1000000. About a month ago when I got into an accident my insurance company nicely provided me with some money for rent-a-car and from all they had I picked a tungsten v-6 stang with automatic tranny. I ABUSED that car as much as I could for 10 days. I drifted in it in the parking lot at work every day I'd get off, I did 8-9 burnouts in it. Result-- car was returned to Enterprise without any problems. Don't worry, I don't know about GT's (I don't abuse mine), but sixers can't definitely take a lot of crazy driving including 1/4 mile runs

 

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the information. I think if I do it, it'll be one of those things where I'll be happy to say that I've drag raced. So next chance I get, I think I'll give it a go.

 

Whoa time out, that changes everything, her tampon could fall out, or worse she could have her ***** disturbed by vibration to a point where it would increase her risk of breast cancer.

Further more all of that bending over could get her raped by the local pervert... then her boyfriend would break up with her for being so promiscuous.

Absolutaly no, the whole shebang is wayyy too dangerous. We better throw this one back in the sweat shop/nunnery where she can be safe.

 

Legion, you're one sexist f***

 

I think Victoria agrees that theremight be big shiny stick in the next room that you need to fetch..

 

after i do what u want it which one of your eyes you want me to stick it in?-- your public or your private one, because you sound like a type of **** that would like it at least 1 way. Plus I didn't know this forum had rooms and objects laying around. You're trippin

 

By the way, how much was that painted hood scoop? I don't know if you can get them complete from newtakeoff... I'm a little tierd of modding my E500, I think this is going to be my first mod for my mustang. (either that or side scops).
