Last night at Ennis sucked.. I'm not use to racing with a 6spd or an IRS... The car is awesome, but i'm not use to launching this beast... My second run I increased to 2200 RPMS and still bogged, then I missed third gear.. The last run I ncreased to 2500RPMs and it popped out of first, so I coasted through the traps....

I bogged badly at the line....... I know this sounds crazy, but I was impressed that I could still run a 13.4 with that 60' time.. With a little practice I'm sure these times will improve drastically....

2.467 60'
13.4 at 108.4mph...

That's a bad ass car you got man. Love those wheels :) .

FWIW, I had a worst 60' of a 2.7 last night(babied it off the line like really bad)... ended up w/ a 13.7@120mph or something like that on that run... A 9.4 second 1/8th mile! ha! :D

Saladbar, I hear you run a pretty strong car. What quarter mile times do you normally get?

On motor... Normally low low 12's... Should hit high 11's once it cools off or if I yanked the seats and sound deadener out. Put down almost 390rwhp ~2wks ago. Last night it ran 114mph, and other people's MPH were supposedly down...

On bottle :D .. It's a whole other story. ;) Best so far is a 10.99 <- and ran that only once. But that was with the old motor and this new one seems a little healthier... Ran 122mph traps last night but I was spinning thru the top of third, w/ what amounted to a ~75 shot. Throw in the ~150rw pills and it'll be good for mid 10's @ prolly 130.

Sorry Slushy.... My car's not silver :) .

It won't blow... At least it'd take a lot more than a 150 shot to do it ;) .

Hey XSTANG that car is badass. Im the guy that asked you if you ever get on dfwstangs. Your right all you need to do is practice and you can hit 12's easy.

Was 108 your best trap speed of the night? That seems really low for your rwhp number.:confused:

Very true. Since I just live over in Southlake I would like to check your car out tomorrow. Maybe after work tomorrow around 6 something?
