Faster1/8 time

[J.Shoot]

Took the Boss to the track on Friday nite, ran a new best of 7.11 @ 99 mph.
60' was 1.58.
I had problems getting the car to hook up, again. I lowered tire pressure to 14 psi, I am guessing it was a combination of temp cooling down and I wasn't heating the tires up enough. Just not sure.

Really wanting a high 6......

Very nice!! Keep at it, with that mph 6.9x shouldn't be a problem!

[Slow Five-O]

Damn nice!

[DirtyD]

That's badass! Congrats man! 7.11 with a boss is nothing to scoff at.

[BeastStang1302]

Sweet. What track do you run at?

[J.Shoot]

I run at Abilene. Keep wanting to head over to Dallas just haven't had the time.

Cool, def let us know when you do, would love to see this beast run down the track.

You should be into the 6's with that MPH.

My best was a 7.67 @ 100 with a 2.54 60' with no launch to speak of on 18" DR's.
Had a friend put his slicks on it and he took my car to a 6.96 @ 101 w/a 1.65 60'

Sounds like you need to upgrade the driver mod.:troll3:

Yea, been looking all over the net for one but I can't seem to find any....:jester:

I just need to drop a few grand on drag wheels and tires that I use once or twice a year.

No thanks.

LMAO..no doubt.

LOL, you just can't drive apparently. I was pulling 1.7'-1.8's my first time in this car at the track on 20 inch DR's.


Y U CAN NO DRIVE?! :yuno:

[46Tbird]

Any car that can go 100 in the eighth should be able to cut a 1.8 on any tire at any time. That would literally just be letting out the clutch like at a traffic light and then rolling into it. If you could only cut 2.5 second 60's then you just don't know how to drive, sorry. Practice will help.

lol there is a big difference in getting 400hp and 700+hp to hook lol, but agreed 2.54 is pretty bad. Seat time will help

I'm well aware, most of my previous Stangs have been blown. My coupe went well into the 9's rowing gears. 2.54 is just blowing tire. 2.0-2.2 I could see on a real bad run. Unless he was on a regular radial I dont see why it should be that bad. Thats not even trying to pedal it, that was just hoping to backdoor an ET with a big HP car. lol

[BLK2012GT]

Now what's worst? Having a 2.54 60 ft or missing 4th gear all night?:GetMoney:

[Midnight11]

Damn and I thought my run was bad lol

[Grandpa]

The 4th gear issue has been fixed, sir.

You talk a lot of shit for someone who hasnt had ANY seat time since last year.

Lol cause I can foo.

[Emwun Garand]

Apparently my driving is as bad as your reading.

"2.54 with no launch to speak of." Meaning, I rolled out of the box, I didn't drop the clutch from any RPM. I didn't build my car for the track and the IRS + Drag Radials is a terrible combo known for breaking shit, which I wasn't in the mood to do. I just wanted to take it down the track for shits and giggles.

[J.Shoot]

Dang, I'm glad "you" can't drive.... I thougth they were talking about me for a min...... NOT......
I havn't spent much time on the track but I feel like my set up is getting close to what it is capable of. I know my driving has alot to do with it but I'm consistently getting 1.60 - 1.69 60' times now. I don't think that's too bad.
I made a few passes on the stock tires, with the stockers I was getting 2.1 - 2.2 60' times. They wouldn't hook up at all on the track with the HP my car has.
Anyway, didn't mean to distract the thread... carry on with the bashing. lol.

Cool to know your out there putting your foot down! Your obviously having a blast regardless of the conditions. Keep us posted!

You are running right where you should. Getting 99 in the eighth is just barely enough to crack some 6s. Keep working at it and getting it down there, you'll get your 6-second pass if the weather's right, you get a good launch, and bang the gears.

I recommend going to a good quarter mile track and seeing if you can crack 10s.... :headbang:

:Rock on:

[STROKD]

To OP, put a slick on it and launch it as high as u feel comfortable. Instant 6s. The tire weight will get you there and 60s should be in the 1.5 range with no changes. Screw DRs for launching with a clutch...
