Oh side note: I will beat this car like a red headed step child to run it fast. Burnouts, no burnouts, 5k launches, smoking clutches, doesn't matter. Not too worried about breaking anything on street tires haha.

Haha. No problem. I'm sooooo anxious to go I'll probably blow the tires off my first run. Haha. I did just see that George from ICS a long time ago posted an 11.6 with a similar setup but 17psi. I'm running 14. Might go to 15 if everything is running perfect.

Alright. Well I don't know anyone better than you guys to guess.....so what do you think I will run for a time. Closest person wins. Doesn't matter if it's over or under haha. Supposed to be like high 70's at race time I believe. 245 series falken tires, guessing around 525-550whp. Full interior etc. I can say I'm hoping for a 11 second pass. Like 11.99 haha. But I realistically think maybe a 12.25? What do you think? Oh and don't worry about hurting my feelings which I'm sure you're not. Haha

My guess is at best high 12s at 115-120. Not because you don't have power to do better but because you are trying to run a powerful manual trans independent rear suspension turbo car on street tires.

Vettes have traction control.

[e36ALPINE]

Vettes have traction control.

So do I. It's just not electronic. Haha. I think it is funny they made the vettes so fool proof any A-hole can drive one without killing themselves haha. If not they would probably get sued today.

Lebanon is asphalt, he may be alright with those tires if it's a warmer day. Not saying it'll hook 1st or 2nd, but I bet 3rd will be fine.

Keep in mind that you can still break stuff without traction if it wheel hops (may not be very noticeable at the time). I broke a diff that way.

For what it's worth, I think I posted that 11.6 @ 126.9 slip a while back

It was. But it was also at Empire, which has better traction than NED.

[e36ALPINE]

We'll listen , I don't want to start hearing how my track must be so much better when I start running mid 11's hahaha. J/k. What kind of whp were you running?

Dynojet 507/392


(and that's all you'll hear from this group :p)

[pbonsalb]

A new Vette might not keep up on a highway pull where traction is not an issue, but they hook up pretty better than our cars on street tires. Looking forward to the results.

I know , I'm like a kid on the eve....of christmas eve....haha. Working on my buddies firebird right now getting it ready for the track as well. My car is pretty much ready to go. Only thing I haven't done is check spark plug gaps. Which the car is running good so not sure I need to, but if I'm bored tomorrow I might pull the plugs anyways. Or buy new ones , gap and install.. Wel'll see. The funny thing is I talked my parents into going to help my wife with the kids etc. Of course mom is like, just don't do anything stupid to hurt yourself yadda yadda yadda. I'm like " mom this isn't my first time....well legally it is, but not my first time.." haha.
