Oh, my bad. He does infact has a sport model. Didnt even see that. The importance of track prep is rather evident then I must say.

I can't wait to pick up my car & drag race it just once before snows
Monday the banks are closed, so I'll pick it up Tues/Wed. Found a 2012 with ONLY 1,100 miles, Base automatic. It's a nice car that I will replace in a year or two. By then I'll know more about the next Z. At my age, 60K for a Camaro or Mustang is not for me. I think the 580 h.p.zL 1 & the new Mustang do 12 flat in the 1/4 mile. Stock of course. I think I'll be able to do mid 12's with a couple of mods + lsd & good tires.
Got a good deal considering it has 1,100 miles. I'll try to go to the track before they close. Will post my results. First I got to learn paddle shifting Posting cause I'm excited & can't wait to test it. |

You must be running at or near sea level to be getting 13.0x times bone stock with perfect barometric conditions

I think test pipes/tune to match the change from test pipes & LSD w gears. I think that should do it. Then again I won't have the advantage of driving a manual trans. I'll be just a regular guy that floors the gas pedal. I guess I'll find out soon |

I've been following you
I think you did more than just a few mods Without me doing the driving, I'm really not sure what the car will do. Just bored & hope I do well. It's just a DD for me. I need a reliable nice car for a year or two. Then again, we'll see. I do understand drag racing.

It's a 2012 with only 1k mileage
Just bumped into it. It's like new & the price was right. Done deal, just need the bank to open & I'll pay the rest off. I carry a few grand on me as gas money & sometimes

I drive a 600RWHP manual trans 2009 Challenger at the track a lot and run 10.90s thus far with it so driver finesse is a lot of it. I'm one of only 3 manual trans Challengers in the 10s that we know of. |

He might not be into drag racing today. That seems to be my future as well |

LOL, well all the auto guys make fun of us stick drivers. We're the hard headed ones that tear up more stuff on those cars than you can shake a stick at LOL
It's all fine with me. I drive that Challenger to work and all over the place and spend a lot more time on the street with it where rowing gears is a lot more fun than an auto. If it had a GOOD auto trans in it like the Z, I'd have an auto though as the autos run right at .5 faster in ET at the same power levels as us stick guys. They are easier on drive train parts as well. A lot of the original stick drivers have actually done auto conversions. Here's one of my runs: Last edited by Speedy; 11-11-2013 at 01:30 PM. |
