You guys are neglecting that it's more about the driver than the power to the wheels. I'll say "IF" you can drive you should be able to get into the high 11's. but low 12s is much more likely from what I've seen out of other supercharged S197s. Can you launch your car?

eh...its not really that hard to drive a RWD car with up to ~400whp if it has enough tire under it.

If it's not so hard howcome so many of you guys are in the 12s instead of the 11s?

Depending on the track and driver guess would be mid 12s could be higher on a bad track could be lower on a realy well prepped track. I have seen s197s with similar setups and hp run 11s and 13s.

I dunno, i know i dont have quite enough power to hit an 11.

With the 150 shot i may, but that remains to be seen.


I figure if im some dumb kid with no suspension and just slicks pulling 1.6 60 foots, i cant be that hard.

I don't think the majority of 12 second s/c'ed GTs with 4xxrwhp make their passes on slicks. I'm sure if they did, they would be in the 11s, or they would be posting on what parts to get to rebuild the rear end...
