nope all you need is some real tires ie: MT ET streets!!! get that 60' down to a 1.7 and your in business. no need to change gears. Nittos SUCK at the track! period

I have to disagree. My Nitto's are 100% fine at the track. Everybody talks so much **** about them and I don't get it. They are a great street/strip tire, look at 01GT4.6, he pulled a damn 1.60 60' with 315/35 Nitto's. Plus if the OP plans on driving his car daily then the MT/ET's will get ate up quick.

I don't know wtf you're complaining about...90% of people in a lightly modded 2V, including me, would be extremely pleased with your trap speed, and your ET, especially considering your average 60' time.

If you told me your mods, and then told me that you were only going to pull a 2.0 60', I'd tell you that you were a 13.6 car AT BEST.

As it is though, you're looking at the 'almost' 12 territory with some tires and practice.

Stop whining

Thats normal for cars with limited mods or s*** tires..
oh...and wow...just....wow....

I don't like being the kind of person that calls out a new member on things, so I'll try to be kind.

If you're not completely sure what you're talking about, then you're better off not giving information about the subject until you have experienced it first hand, or have learned from a respected source.

A 9.5 1/8th mile, is likely a 15 second car. He's well off of that as you can see. If I had to guess a 1/8th time, it's be in the 8.4 range.

id say your about right, typically its around an 8.1 for a 12.99 so thats a pretty good estimate. maybe even an 8.3 with those trap speeds
