Interesting timeslip

[[Twitch]]

Went out tonight to the drag strip. It was quite chilly tonight, around 40F.

Traction wasn't so good because of the weather. I spun the whole second gear, I thought I destroyed the clutch at one point, it was at redline all the time, too much spin.

This isn't my best time, but it is my best MPH ever, 110.808mph
At first, i thought it was a mistake but all the runs that night (10+ runs) were all 110mph.

I always run street setup, which means full weight with spare and jack and street tires at street pressure.

My current mods are:
- VT N/A Stage 1 Cams
- K&N FIPK2
- Mac Prochamber O/R
- Magnaflow Catback
- BBK 75mm Throttle Body
- Diablosport Predator
- GMS Upper Intake Plenum
- Steeda U/D Pulleys
- FRPP 3.73 Gears
- Bullitt Suspension Kit (Shocks, struts & swaybars)
- Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors
- Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Lower Control Arms
- SVT Cobra Front Brakes
- Street tires (Exclaim UHP)

I wish my track would show the others' time but they seperate the slips.

There was this guy in Rochester NY with an early 80's malibu. He had a 454 and some type of centrifical supercharger. Well done car with full cage, big brakes and a 6-speed. The problem was he had crap skinny Cooper tires. We asked him what his drag times were and he said 13.5 at ~130mph.

Yea, I need new tires soon, but the season is almost over here.

I'll have to wait till next spring before purchasing any new tires. Falken RT615 maybe

Hey Twicth, I race at Napierville also...were you there last night? Oct 16th?
I was, silver 2000 GT with a Steeda Banner and hoosier slicks...

 

[BannonJr]

I guess I could have checked the date on your time slip lol...

Did you run against me? I ran a 13.3 last night also, but only at 105mph...

 

[ToplessStang]

Ya that cold air helped me to a new 107 MPH best. Should be even colder next week .

 

[BannonJr]

I ended up blowing the synchro of fourth gear ........oh well....time for an upgrade...good thing the season is practically over...

 

[MustHang]

Wow four Quebecers on the same thread on stangnet, WooHoo !!!

I race at Napierville too but only on the weekend to get better track prep.

 

[BannonJr]

Ya, I'd love to go on the weekend, but my shift is fri-sat-sun...so no can do...I went on a sunday once, it was great...plus its easier to get photos in the daylight lol

110 n/a very nice! You just gave me hope of getting into the 12s n/a

 

[mogs01gt]

excessive wheel spin usually causes your trap speed to increase.

 

[MustHang]

True, I saw a good difference in trap speed switching to slicks. Obviously, it got down.

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

110 n/a very nice! You just gave me hope of getting into the 12s n/a

w/ slicks you will. Upper twelves after that swap your doing and some rather good driving.

 

[Gus302]

twitch poo ill see you in MTL 08 we need to line up

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Very nice! Get some tires and it has a 12 in it for sure.

That guy in the Malibu was my uncle....
Procharged 454, T-56, built rear, I think he has gone to Nitto's for cruise nights and M/T slicks on drag nites.
