Going 12's

[Hoboattacker]

I'm kind of a lurker here on :SNSign: but have just very recently starting posting. I figured I'd share with y'all what I ran at the track last night along with a video from the track.

I have a 2005 Premium GT with FRPP Shorty Headers (worthless, thank god I didn't do that mod), Brenspeed O/R H-pipe, C&L CAI with the Canned 91 octane Diablo Sport tune. My exhaust is running through the stock mufflers. I had a half tank of gas with a mix of probably 50/50 89 and 93 octane. It was about 55* at the track last night with about 80-85% humidity My previous best was a 13.028 @ 107 and after that run I made it my goal to hit 12's on the stock tires

Anyways...here are the numbers.

R/T ... .208
60' ... 1.958 <--- Stock 235 Pirelli Pzero tires!
330' ... 5.493
1/8 ... 8.404 @ 85.00
1000 ... 10.880
1/4 ... 12.969 @ 108.14

Here is a video of the run... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRq2eXomE28

I launched at about 3,000 RPM's and slipped the clutch till about 5,000 and then I was completely off the clutch. I then powershifted into second and spun a little bit. I wound out second to about 6100 rpms and then crossed the traps in thrid at about 6400 rpms. Needles to say I was VERY VERY excited and pleased to have run a 12 second pass!

I don't really know what other S-197's are running with comparable mods so if anybody knows, please share!

Thanks for looking!

Good times,especially on stock tires!!!!!

 

[bigcat]

very good driving!

only mods are exhaust and CAI/tune? wow!

 

[Pro Mod]

good job! Feels good getting 12's on the stock tires doesn't it!!! Way to show everybody that there's alot of ET in these cars if you just DRIVE em.

 

[FLY2kGT]

great job and good work backing it up with the video!

 

[bigcat]

i get more wheel spin than that from the 1-2 shift your track must be better prepped than mine.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I was SUPER excited last night. I pretty much didn't get any sleep haha . It feels amazing getting 12's on the stock tires, especially since a lot of people were telling me it wasn't possible and being in college it makes it awesome! I didn't think I was going to hit 12's while I was in college, but I've already accomplished that goal my freshman year so I guess 11's are my goal by the time I graduate

BigCat...that track is actually Baton Rouge's slower track. No Problem Raceway a little south of here is actually much better prepped. That run might have been a 12.8 if I was on a very well prepped track lol.

Again...thanks for all the compliments guys! I'll be at the track next week (the better one...NPR) to see if I can pull any better times out of the car!

Edit: Bigcat...yes, all I have done is Exhaust (running through the stock mufflers hehe) and a CAI/Tune.

Awsome run. I'm knocking on the door too.

 

[Saleen-wana-be]

wish the track here was that well preped...or ever preped at all....best i can pull off is a 13.4

 

[Hoboattacker]

Awsome run. I'm knocking on the door too.

Keep us updated! It's definitely possible and the mph and e/t are in these cars for it!

 

[blbrchnk]

stupid question what is e/t??

 

[bigcat]

e/t = elapsed time

 

[blbrchnk]

gotcha, care to explain what you mean by elapsed time? time that went by during what? the statements always use it as in these cars have lots of et, I am really not following.

 

[bigcat]

elapsed time from start line to finish line. most commonly reffering to quarter mile drag races.

 

[blbrchnk]

Okay, I guess that sort of makes sense. I would think it would make more sense to say that they can handle some pretty decent track times, rather than they have some e/t in them. But I am new to this, and I thank you for explaining and your patience while dealing with a noob. Can't wait to get my GT!!!!!

Congrats!! Very nice runs with the mods you have!

You picked up 7-8 MPH with just an offroad pipe, CAI, and a tune?? WTF! These cars are awesome. I just don't want to do the offroad pipe due to dealer servicing worries.
