Then your not doing it right. I have launched at higher RPMs with more HP on less tire.

1.8s on street tires is like a 13.2 S197. It can be done but how often and how many weekend warriors can do it????

Does your car even make enough power to cut a 1.6 60ft on slicks? Timeslip for proof?

Meeehhhh.. since nobody else has done it yet.. [sm=bs.gif][sm=bs.gif]

I just don't see a 94GT with minor bolt ons pulling a 1.6 60'.. Not enough torque.. 1.9's, MAYBE 1.8's but not THAT low, and not on street tires either..
