Considering it looks like he is on slicks he is probably cutting 1.4s/1.5s cause i have seen plenty of street radial tires cut 1.6s

well i know its a rough comparison, but shalane does 11.7's or so at ~118...with 1.7 60's.... and the cars are similarly weighted

i cant see him doing 11.5 @ 120 cutting a 1.4...if he was running like low low 11's then yes, i would say it was a 1.4 or so.

An awd that runs 11.5 at 120 is ALL 60'. The average dsm that runs 119-120mph runs only a 11.9 et. For instance, my buddy has run 11.4 but it was at 127 and his 60' was 1.8. Trust me, he's cutting 1.4s

i just see more potential for power and keep the reliability with the bird. if i get some DR's and launch it, id be coming outta the hole door to door with this guy...it not like he is cutting 1.4 60's MAYBE 1.5's [/B][/QUOTE] What the hell are you talking about did'nt you fuck up your car at TR track night?? Now i really like F-bodys but your car sounds like shit, like its really on its last leg. So you should'nt be going around talking about reliability. and don''t talk like your car can hang with that green eclipse , till you get your pos in the mid 11s.

lol i think you have me mistaken..what did i break? and why shouldnt i talk about reliability...ive put the bird through more, and only thing ive had to deal with is the tranny, which is now a resolved issue cause IMO the 700R4 is a pos...as for sounding like ass..ill settle for the extra 10/15 i pick up at the expense of a loud noise until i leave the track...

as for hanging with it...no, i wouldnt....probably because i dont have a huge investment in my car like he does....owning a DSM showed me how to work with what you have, which is pretty much what im doing, 1 bolt on and i drop a whole 1.2 seconds...put some tires on, i just dropped 1.5. and i wouldnt have to run a mid 11 to beat him, not at the track anyways.

if you have any more misinformative witty remarks, be my guest to reply.
