Default What do y'all think?

So me and a few friends went to the track today. It was a little warm so our numbers were lower than we expected, but still had a good time ruining our cars

I wanted to post my numbers from my best run and see what y'all think the cars potential is as it stands (assuming a good launch, etc.)

Here are the #'s:

60'........2.137
330.......5.844
1/8.......8.882
MPH......81.86
1000.....11.497
1/4.......13.684
MPH......103.47

My friends best time in his car a few weeks ago was a 13.9, and today he ran a best of 14.2, so that should be a sign as to the track/weather conditions...

No...it's embarassing; I'm using Nitto D/R's! I can't hook up b/c I'm scared to do a full burnout (where i stand on the brake, etc.). All I do now is dump the clutch and spin them till they squeak. NOT ENOUGH!

I ran a 13.5x before the midpipe and pulleys, so....poop.

Edit: At Houston Raceway Park...it was way underprepared today.

Sweet. I see you have the control arms, now its time for some subframe connectors!

Go with Maximum Motorsport or Steeda.

The subs will help your 60ft time and overall 1/4 by saving some of the energy your car is using to flex the chassis.

Roast those things. A friend of mine has a 97 cobra and has Nitto D/R's on his car. He does a 7-10 sec burnout and pulls 1.9 60' times all day long.

HOLY ****!!! I gotta learn to do a full burnout. Two-stepping is so awkward!
