If you can drive and you drive it without mercy, i don't see why not.

Ditto......

I have had many cars in the high 12's with stock bottom ends w/ bolt ons. Never in a Vert. though. 10's with a 150 shot may be a little hard to reach IMO. Just remember, it will need a cage to run those numbers.......

Good Luck with it!!

Traction and speed shifting is the key especially in a vert. If you can get at least a 1.9 60 i think you'll be there.

Should get into the 12s. Trying for 10s on a 150 shot though, that will be tough.

 

[skunk21]

12's is do able with a good hook up like the others stated & a decent 60ft time. 10's is going to be a stretch.

13.49 or quicker he needs a roll bar i believe since it's a vert.

 

[tbird187]

I have a 6 pt cage... im good to roll.... if 150 wont do it I guess ill be fored to run 200 shot


and yeah I plan to launch at 5500 on the 2 step lol... I want 1.5 60'

 

[25thmustang]

I assume you mean a 1.5 on the bottle? Our GT40P car gets out HARD and has only clipped high 1.5xs a few times. It is usually low 1.6xs.

if you drive like this guy i bet you could hit all your goals! 1.32 60ft

 

[25thmustang]

Not quite a GT40P vert with Nittos and a 150 shot though Cenok!

hahaha yeah i know, just wanted to post that video cause it's soooooo badass!

 

[25thmustang]

Yeah definately a great video. One reason I plan to only race stick shift cars. However badass an auto is going down the track, a well driven stick car trumps it (when running the same times).

If you can believe it, the original video description I found of that video is a junkyard shortblock, nitrous, and he's shifting a T5 sans-clutch. Absolutely insane.

The one i have says it's a 347 with lots of nitrous.

 

[mob]

I dont think so.

 

[25thmustang]

That better be a proshifted T5 if he is doing it with no clutch.

BTW yes you can shift a proshifted box without one.
