Ran my car at the track little disapointed :(with
Yup i suck at driving lol the best run i had was 14.3 @ 102mph with a 60ft of 2.4. Which set of tires should i go with im thinking about trying the nittos. I also have a problem i missed 3rd gear twice in 2 of mine runs. I'm still getting used to the car i should do a lot better it has 268rwhp and 296 rwtq. Anyone have any pointers on launching? I bog it a lot of the times but other times ill chirp and then spin all the way through first. I'm on some kuhmo ecsta 245/50/16s.

your MPH says you have power. I went 13.4's @ 101. Fastest was 104. You need suspension if you don't have it and some DR's.. I had BFG's they were great. With that much hp/tq it is hard to get a "good launch" on street treads. Get some DR's heat them up good, and you'll be staring god in the face!

Yea i've got pretty decent suspension just no swaybars front or rear. The guy before me had a plate welded on the lower control arms for some reason with no swaybar. Next thing i'm gonna get is either some BFGS or Nittos lol.

I wanna say to by BFG DR's but even after a proper warm up they still just spin to redline threw first and most of second. Even if i peddle they spin as soon as i bet back on the throttle.

I would opt for BFG's or M/T's.. Don't race with those Kuhmo's that's just dangerous!
