Unlikely unless he is on slicks. The Zs don't like to launch hard. Haven't see a 370 run 10s yet.

I'm gonna go do a bunch of practice runs on my old tires in the spring before I switch. I'd say high 10's would be a stretch but a possibility but I will need practice.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you'll be mid to high 11s until you change tires. And by that, I mean change into anything other than drag radials.

DM's definitely spent the money for a track car, so hopefully he'll be happy with the results on the track, any other mods on the horizon? Maybe a roll cage?

awesome, I can't wait to see it running 9s.

We may not see a 370 in the 9s for years. 9 seconds is rarified air coming from an inexpensive street car that doesn't have a huge aftermarket following.

true..

I wanted a good balance between street and track and I got what I wanted. I'm happy regardless. I wouldn't invest in something like a roll cage unless I were to decide to turn it into a dedicated track car (strip it down etc).

I don't really have a lot left that I want to do. Maybe an upgraded clutch or radiator. If the car will only run mid 11s with 265/305s than so be it.

Just don't get upset and obsessed trying to chase some ridiculous time like I did. Complete waste of time, money, and unnecessary stress.

yes, you are the person here who spent too much time and money stressing out over hitting an unreasonable time :|

Nah, I wouldn't. I'm getting out of the car exactly what I wanted to get out of it.

Hoping the diff mitigates this problem somewhat.

How much have you spent so far?

dmhenderson 12-16-2013 10:01 AM

More than I'd care to admit but not an embarrassing amount. My goal was never to build the world's fastest track car.

eastwest2300 12-16-2013 10:05 AM

At any rate, the car looks good, and you've invested in some serious parts, not the cheap sh1t thats out there, that some people "try" to pull off.

there's a lot more to it than just the differential.

Torsen's are iffy for launching anyways. Will do the job for a the casual running you'll be doing, but I wouldn't make launching a habit with it.
