If u are on a sticky track, you might bog doing that. I used to dump my clutch @4500 and cut 1.8's on street tires. If u have a really crappy track, you may need to slip out the clutch, but hope not. Thats the biggest thrill for me about drag racing. I didnt have a very fast car, so I got my thrills by outlaunching people.

I'd LOVE to see that slip... 1.8's on street tires on a GT? Unless you're supercharged, and even though i doubt it. Hell with a 1.8 60' you should beable to run around 13.6 stock.

RE: Nitto Drag Radials???
I have posted the slip before. It was last July. I have it at home, but i am away in college. Ill get it for you sometime.
The track was really sticky. It was FUN. Pushed me back in my seat HARD. Its in a thread on prolly page 3420 in the S/S section. I was running a 00 SS 5speed, 3.42 gears, SLP exhuast, ect. (nothing major). I beat him by less than .1 seconds. Needless to say he was VERY suprised.
PS. This was in the 1/8 mile, and yes i know he would have passed me about 3 ft past the 1/8 mile mark, but who cares? I beat an LS1 with my 250rwhp!!!!! Thats one of my greatest accomplishment. lol

ZW, i'm not sure whether to call you out or not.... but you have some explaining to do. If you think you can do that... i dont think you've ever been to the track.

You know, some track are actually Prepped, instead of just opening the gates and letting people slip and slide around all night long. you can call me out if u want, but you run a 8.8 in the 1/8 with my mods or less and then you can call BS on me all u want.

Wait a minute F@#$%^S. I dont think YOU have been to MY track before. Yes the stock Gt's suck *** at my track, Kinda like your 14.41@97, but my FRPP C-spings gave me unbelieveable amounts of weight transfer. The track was VERY sticky. I bogged DUMPING the clutch at 3500RPMS. I have it on VHS video.

Well... you just contradicted yourself so i'm not sure what you're saying. You say they suck... yet go on to say how your track is the best prepped track in the world. Also, how do you know my track is has ****y prep? It doesnt..... it actually doesnt get any prep lol; Hell most GT's run upper 14's at my track, but i've been to a few tracks not ran at all of them... and I know that a pretty much stock GT will not cut 1.8's on street tires.
I found your slip. "and hit a personal best 1.97960ft" Thats believable with stock suspension and a very well prepped track. However thats a long way from 1.8
Like I said, if you have a suspension mods since then.. it may be possible; all i said was you have some explaining to do.... in this thread you just act like you can cut 1.8's on street tires without suspension mods.

And I apologize if I came across as a Noob that just picked a number out of nowhere. I have quite a bit of track experience, and I know what I'm talking about. If agree that a bone stock Gt cant hit that, but springs, gear, a decent tire, better than average driver(from practice) and a great track It is possible, and it happened.

RE: Nitto Drag Radials???
Yeah... the way you posted it, it just seemed like you just can step up there and cut 1.8's wiht street tires... I can see it with what you have, but for the purpose of the original poster it didnt seem all that relevant if you had all that done.
I think I will put those springs in this summer; When i installed my long tubes over christmas, i had to remove the kmember and my front left spring was broken off... about 180 degrees of the very top that sits in the perch... looked broken for a long time. I put it back in the way it was but I'm going to replace them.
