'12 v6- New PB **Vid**
Like PD said, a couple of the boys all made the trip up to VMP for the day. Everybody seemed off today as far as what we were expecting (much less hoping for).
I made 10 passes in all, the last 3 were on my dad's M/T bias-plies. My best pass on the street tires was a 13.45 @ 103 1.94 60ft. Since the gearswap and little bit of added power, my wheel-hop is outta control! I just haven't experienced it before, so that was all an experience.
Heres a vid of my 3 best runs of the day. happens to be vids of PD's and 89lx's best runs too. After running those slicks, I know what my damn next mod is! (after lca's of course!)

Good job son!! I had a great time yesterday even though I didn't run near as good as last time. Your car really has great weight transfer for 100% stock suspension!! Awesome to be able to lift a heavy 18" wheel in a V6!!

Thanks guys! Dunno how I cleared air.... 3 runs in a row! These were my first EVER passes on a sticky tire, so beginners luck maybe? 
What a ride! Couple more passes and I woulda figured out how to keep it from bogging after the initial hit, but it'll all come in time!.
As for my brother, can you say re-limiter launches? LMAO, the boy gives it hell for sure! Like I said, PD is the only one that left yesterday happy with their times, the rest of us were off by .3 or so, from what we were shooting for, but everyone drove on slicks that day, and everyone drove home, so it was a GREAT day!

Awesome launches, 97. I guess it's just a good combination of aggressive gearing and solid traction lifting the front like that. Caught me by surprise when I saw the vid, lol.
Was your brothers trap lower than normal?

Well, we don't know exactly what "normal" is supposed to be for him, as this was his first trip to the 1320 since the h/i work. Then again, whats normal about what his car does with 292hp anyways? Lol...
These cars transfer weight great, thats for sure. I feel like a little kid getting all excited about a 1-2in tire lift, but it was/is a rush! Guess I need something to take away the dissapointment from the otherwise lackluster runs.
I can almost say, for sure, I woulda got into the 13.3's on the street tire had my shifting been up to snuff. I missed 2nd on one pass, 4th on another, so I got real gunshy on my shifting, slowing the shifts down bigtime. But, o-well, Im still pretty happy!

Awesome runs man! I'm not gonna lie I'm jelous as hell you pull the wheel lol but I'm glad we all made it home!!
Stone, compaired to my 1/8 runs that I had before my mph was off 2-3 mph but the car wasn't pulling as hard on the track as it always has on the street.... IDK I gotta mess with it and figure it out but even tho its not close to what I was aiming for I got all new pb's and I'm happy with that!
