Went to the track last night

**New times Updated below in POST 6***




I decided to go right after work so I had a tool kit, spare, a bunch of clothes floor jack, sub and other crap in the car probably totalling around 100-130lbs. I had the street tires on, they are 245/45/17's but they were cheap as f like $60 brand new each with a contact patch of a 225 tire. anyway

1.939 60'

boltons in the sig. I think with all of the bs weight out and a little tweaking 13.1x is pretty attainable on street tires and bolt ons.

Nice 60!

What PSI, did you do a burnout? My street tires are maybe a step above yours but by no means stellar.

i had them at 35 for the first three runs, didnt bother to check them. then dropped them to 26psi for the last run and i do a little 4 sec burnout or so. the first three 60's were:

1.99
2.00
2.01

I wish i would have thought to check the tires earlier when the track was really prepped well, but oh well. For as bobo as these tires arre they seem to hook pretty good on the street and not bad at the track, i just wish i would have gotten 275's so they would be as wide as 245's haha

The best hooking street tire I ever ran was a cheapo NangKang 245-50-16, they were around $60/piece too I think. I managed a 1.91 60' on them with the stock suspension but I would spin the hell out of them on the 1-2 shift. I could manage to get them to hold in 1st with manipulating the clutch, but the quick 1-2 shift would fry them.

Nice numbers for the mods!

wow...good job man. That excites me. The only diff between our cars is u have a TB, and i have a MAF. How many miles on your car? . I doubt my car will trap at 105 with 130000 on the ticker
how did u get the 1.7 time? i didnt see anything in the post about that...

 

[Jackie Chan]

it went 1.7s on et streets when i had them mounted. i went 1.8s on regular cheap ass streettires last night though

 

[red ink]

in the gt or cobra? do both have subframes?

 

[Jackie Chan]

[FlyBy763]

Saw you there!

 

[NotQuik]

That's a killer 60' for street tires man, i'm hoping to make it there next friday

 

[Jackie Chan]

I REALLY want to put it into the 12's on street tires, but that would take a low 1.8 and close to the same weather. I still could pull the passenger seat(which is actually the driver's seat since i swapped them when the power stuff broke and i have been too lazy to fix ist or buy a manual slider)

i think if i went out on the first pass and had the seats out i could come close with a 1.85 or so
