Default What Do You Think I'll Run??

Sup Guys,

I'm trying to figure out if I'm the fastest of my friends. I want to place some bets before we head out to the track, but I want to know what you guys think I will run.

05 GT Coupe
Auto
C&L CAI
Borla Catback
FRPP 3.73
100HP Wet Shot Nitrous
Custom tune

(I haven't gotten the nitrous and custom tune installed yet, thats why i'm asking. Haven't had a chance to get on the dyno. The shop is doing the install the day we head out to the track, so I want to let them look around the day before so we can make bets. )

I have 20 inch rims so I know that will slow me down, but i'm thinking of getting drag radials or slicks before we head out (so times on both).

Well, 12.2 would def make me the fastest in the group of my friends...

Now I need to drop .5 to take my dad's pesky viper. He doesn't know about any of these mods, so I wanna see the look on his face when I beat him at the track. Besides, he can't shift, so I can prob beat him right now.

What suspension can I put that won't lower my car (20 inch rims) but will help with everything.

lower control arms, drag shocks (a lil more hardcore here lol), BMR front sway delete, and a set of 15" drag wheels would not be bad ideas for hooking at the track

well to start off with. What do your friends have? I heard your dad has a viper; but are we talking the 91's w/ 400hp or the newer ones w/ 510hp atleast. If your going to spend some good money on tires; like some one else said. Just buy some wheels for the track.

Don't squeeze from the gate on your street tires or you won't even see a 12.
