Time for the 10s.
Alright...I was reading a thread about the AAM twins and SharpByCoop asked the question (paraphrasing), "Why are 350s so much faster than 370s?" He suggested that the fasted 350s are 2 seconds faster than what is listed below.
Is it that 350s are raced and dragged more? I could see that.
And why are 600hp with over 500lbs of torque beasts only 1 second faster than a BASE SPORT on STREET TIRES? - 1) jnaut ------------ 09 Base Sport 6MT 12.245 @ 111.81 mph 1.813 60ft street - Yes jnaut has some mods but I don't see anything more than would account for the 7 tenths he is faster than a stock on streets. Clearly he and Z eliminator are half a second better drivers than the rest of the list (props) but based on the numbers SharpByCoop and TerribleONE are equally ahead of their 'class'. (T-ONE wasn't Dan from F.I. driving your car for that 11.493?).
I suspect that it comes down to an inability to get the power down to the asphalt. I can light my tires up in third on my 91 octane tune on street tires for goodness sakes.
It's time for the boosted among us to step up and represent the cars and turbos we love. In 2015 we need to join the 10 second club.
Step 1: Get your cars on the strips and post the numbers. What worked? What didn't? How much boost were you running? Tire profiles?
Step 2: Anyone with extensive strip time needs to help the brothers and sisters out! Lowering air pressure in the back...duh. But what else?
My first ever strip run is in a few weeks. I'm starting on street tires with a 91 octane tune and don't care how many gears I miss. I -will- make the 10s in 2015 and it will be a community effort. So lets get busy!
