Got some 4:10s Thursday. Went to the track today. Gained/dropped no ET, but picked up 1.5 mph average trap speed. Just couldn't get the Nittos to cooperate over 3500 rpm and at my power level I really need a stout launch to dip into the 1.7-1.8 60' range. Bit of a let down, but I guess the increased trap shows some potential.

Nice run Stone!...........
.......I can't wait to try out my new mod........(a 14 5.0....).

 

Hell yea man, I hear ya! I was literally just pricing 5.0s to swap in my pile. I'm almost over the older stuff though, you're doing it right man!

 

Right.......If I could figure out had to shift the MT82 I might be able to lay down some Stone times..........

Looks like you're doing very well with the Mach. Are you going to keep it or go back to the LS?

 

Saw the video pop up on YouTube and came by lol. It looked like it comes out stronger than the last I saw but maybe it's because it was an in car video. Seems like it takes a real kick in the *** to make these cars 60' even with 4.10s and the 3700 stall I am going high 1.80s... if money wasn't a factor I'd be in an s550 for sure. Those guys with full bolt ons are running faster then I expect to be after I start hitting the 100 shot off the line. Doesn't seem fair lol

 

Nice work. Maybe I will actually go to the track this year, lol.

Is the hood painted flat black, or is it plastidipped? Or a replacement?

 

looks like vinyl ? Roof too ?

 

It's a flat black vinyl wrap. Hood, roof, trunk. Buddy did it for free in exchange for me installing a pita catch can on his ST. Just trying to cover up bad paint but it turned out to look pretty good.

Seems like these 4Vs just need a lot of RPM to 60 right. And without a good enough tire, well.

Explosive, your car is doing well with those 1.8s. Trust me I know about those S550s, they embarrassed me all day.

99, get your *** to the track man! There was an old 2V there today with 230k miles on the clock, full header back exhaust, etc that ran a 13.2 at 105 mph. I couldn't believe it but that old car did it.

 

Damn. Best I ever did was a 13.5 @ 101 or 102 with the 99, and a lot less miles.
