Well, it has been about two years since i have been out to the good 'ole drag strip. I decided to take out my newly acquired GT out there to she what she could do. I gotta say, i was impressed. I wasn't thinking anything in the 13's with bald ass Kumho's and by blingage would be possible
First the basic info...This was at Houston Raceway park and it was around 70 degrees. Had a alot of things going against me
*Baldass crappy Kumho's with less than 2/32nds of tread (New tires are in the garage for tomorrow, is all good), Lowered 2" and on heavy ass chrome 18's and a Humidity of 92%
About the only thing in my favor was the Lakewood LCA's...sadly. Anyways, first time out ran a [email protected] and my 60' was HORRIBLE (2.369). On the 4the run i got what i wanted
60' 2.112
1/4 13.86
Trap 100.99 (.01 of a mph, so retarded
)
I was a bit pissed because i had missed 3rd on the run before and was hesitant to slam into 3rd gear so i babied it. I was very confident that with a nice shift into 3rd and less spin into 2nd my car was capable of 13.7's. Unfortunately i didnt get one more run like i wanted because someone wrecked and it was close to closing time, so they shut it down.
I'll be going back next time with a short throw shifter and new and wider rear tires. I won't mod anything else. You guys think with those two upgrades she'll run in the 13.6's? Is it worth it to take off the quad shocks since i have LCA's or not bother unless they rub the new 285's?
BTW, Only power mods are K&N, X-pipe, Catback
