You're putting out about 340hp to the motor...I don't think 12's are in your future right now at that power level. Maybe another 35 hp might get you there. Maybe.
Vettes putting out 400hp at the motor will turn 12.7's.
And your car outweighs them by hundreds of lbs.
I'm laying down 411hp,which translate to 485hp at the motor, and my best run to date, and I'm rusty as hell, has been 12.39.

Suspension + tires + driver mod= high 12s in a bolt on gt with roughly 250rwhp, you just cant drive or have zero suspension mods[8D]

Easy big fella... just got the car back 2 weeks ago after having her supercharged, still learning how to drive her.

By the way, by my sig, andI have more in her thatI have listed, what do you think it would/should run?
I'd like your educated opinion sir.

RE: 12's on street tires?
With those power levels you'd have to pull a 1.7ish-1.8ish 60' to hit a high 12- that just wont happen on street tires. In my old mach which made 303/324 to the wheels I couldnt even hit 12s and I pulled many 2.00 60' times with Nitto DRs. The best I hit was 13.1-13.2...but im also a bad driver lol.

RE: 12's on street tires?
i bet you can with really good track prep and even better driving
dont try to heat them up or anything, this will only be worse since they're street tires
just give them a quick spin and go for it
upper and lower control arms ftmfw
my friend is pushing the same hp as you with upper and lower control arms, and nitto drags...he boggs hard at 3000-3500

RE: 12's on street tires?
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllll no! On a car with that low of power it take a set of drag radials, drags wont hook up hard enough to break anything. but even so you will still need to drive very well to break a 12. with slicks it'd be easier but on the street tires i just dont see it happenin. If it does show us a vid and i think we will crown you the one of the best drivers on here! lol ( just screwin with you on that part)
