The census says I need new rear alignment arms, and coilover if I can swing it. New tires would help too. I might have to ask Ron on what he thinks are good for split duty.

Keep the good info coming. Thanks to all poster for dropping their 2c.

It could be harder on some components, especially the clutch... but if it works out for you, I cannot imagine anything terribly inherently wrong with doing so. I mean, I am trying to think of a reason not to, and I am coming up blank. If it doesnt burn the clutch too terribly bad, I guess why not.

Total fail again. I was only able to get in two runs. A C6 Zo6 rear ended a 2015 Stang GT while waiting for his turn to run. I'm not sure how that happened but it closed the track down.

Here is the video of the first run at 105 mph. I had let off at the end because I was sure I was going to break into the 12's and then get kicked off for no helmet.

Check your camber eccentric bolts yourself & make sure they look like these pictured (Max about -1.7* not lowered) aftermarket arms will get you 0, also: if you do it yourself like I did/ck your toe;it will go way + in rear.....you want a little +rear toe//not 0 or -, Azz end will dance around, also heat them tires up good! They will bite if you get them hot & try to drive around water trap....I'd love to try and launch it for you; cause I'm stock.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1440842122.761449.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1440842143.136711.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1440842164.319952.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1440842183.709010.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1440842225.744729.jpg

This is all based on you currently having low budget

My point, which you kinda pointed out, is you need as close to zero chamber as possible to get it to 'hook'. You can't achieve that without swapping the rear components. Maxing out the rear suspension will help some but it's not going to get you there.

Yep- he mentioned about not spending any more money on it.
I'm done at the track till I get an LSD diff. Mine is open;notice the rubber on rt side is more than left. Also getting the SPL camber arms.

The 60's will need to get below 2.0 to run 11's (unless you have big time power to make up for it). It might be worth getting one of those phone apps and practicing your launch and 1-2 shift in the middle of nowhere at night. Thats where most the driving skill is required: the 60' and the 1-2 shift. After that the rest of the run is a breeze by comparison.
