Made some decent passes today finally

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

Well, after much frustration, I finally got a decent pass lol

2 step set to 5500 RPM, car's weight around 3670 (only removed the spare and was on a little over a half tank of gas), and the air was pretty damn good. I was ready to pull the sway bar and launch from 6000 the way the track was hooking lol

Previous best:

60'..........1.773
330'........4.978
ET..........7.574
MPH........95.951

Today's runs:

Run 1:
60'..........1.743
330'........4.909
ET..........7.466
MPH........97.538

Run 2 (best):
60'..........1.584
330'........4.649
ET..........7.173
MPH........98.474

Run 3:
60'..........1.609
330'........4.679
ET..........7.214
MPH........97.992

The shifting is a little sub-par, mainly on the best run, because after the launch felt so good I was MAKING SURE I hit all the gears lol

Thanks man

Dayum...that's only slightly faster than me

[12secSS]

For you 1/4 mile junkies, that equals about an 11.30 @ about 122 mph. Very nice! Are you using drag radials?

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

Thanks! Yes, they are MT DRs 295/45/17. I figured it was somewhere in the low 11's, my buddy went 7.20's and was in the 11.2-11.3 range. I want to shoot for 7.0's and 11.0's and hopefully dip below each of them eventually lol With the way things went Sunday, I feel like that can actually be achieved now (before it was a lot of hope haha)

Very impressive Mike.

Using a 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion, that is very close to 11.2 @125 mph! Even if your race weight was only 3500 lbs,
your making ~515 RWHP (according to my Moroso power speed calculator)! Awesome power Mike!

Thanks guys

Going to go back to the track next month for a track day to see if I can improve on this some more. Hopefully we can get them to prep the track just as good.

I'm impressed with the 1.5sec 60'!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!

Now that's impressive. (I am a V6 guy so I do impress pretty easy though...jokes...)

Nice runs man

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

haha thanks man

I was surprised myself with that 60'. The thing is, I think it can go even faster in the 60. We will find out when we have our track day in about a month.
