What 1/4 mi time are you guy's getting with the 90 vert gt. My sig list the mods I have. I recently been at the track. It was my first time at the strip. My best time was a 15sec @ 91mph. Am I that bad of a driver? I was thinking I would at least pull a 14.5 sec.

launched at 4000 rpm. First launch was good 60' time 2.049. 2nd launch really bad 60' time 2.840 3rd launch spun wheels 60' time 2.455. So as you can see i'm all over the place. not very consistent.

Get some DR's for consistant launches,the rest of the race will need good shifts,I think you should be at least in the high 14's.

93vertlx,
What tires are you running and how many miles are on your engine? and willys1 How exactly do you powershift?
My engine has 171,000 mi. maybe a little tired, lol. I need practice also.
93vertlx, Is your car lighter than a GT convertible. Have you removed anything to get lighter??

My car is very slightly lighter than a GT vert due to the ground effects. But I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference. The only weight reduction I have done it the smog pump delete. I am running Pirelli P6000 V-rated tires, which suck by the way. PM me for any advice or info about my car that you'd like. Thanks.
