thats what high horsepower cars on street tires do. its not unusual by any means.

think you got jokes....ok, thats fine

who is laughing? im dead serious.

glad you finally got it out to the track! we need at least some 12's now lol

I'm laughing now. :lol:

Congrats on the new times Alex...

bubba, how about when josh puts my clutch in, i let you try to launch it without bogging or spinning the etstreets.....then you can comment

OK, you really think I can't handle that car?

no, my car is slow. i just dont think you couldnt launch it your first time out, which is what this thread is about

just get your clutch...I'm not going to argue about this retarded crap anymore.

Congrats on the times alex, the cars got alot more in it

wanna buy it?

ehhh, good clutches are overrated ...... :nod:

one of Josh's clutches...

I would say even before the whole "launch" part...staging without stalling would be a feat in itself.

I dont think I could do that...but then again im not a world class driver either.

well theres that, and the fact that it gets launched somewhere in the vincinity of the revlimiter

I watched Alex make his first pass..... he spun pretty bad.

Considering that this was his first time out in a while.... and a drastically different car, he did pretty damn good.

The mph shows the true potential. His car will never be a super 1/4 mile king.... it is a road race car... very difficult to 1/4 mile race and get super low 60's etc.

Don't worry alex, you did quite fine first time out - keep it up.

CONGRATS alex!, It must of felt good!

Bubba when are you gonna learn to just shut your mouth?

Nice times, keep practicing, launching our cars does take some time to learn. And that MPH is killer. Start saving for a 12 bolt. I use Nitto DRs and launch easy to try the save the rear, same deal, 2.1 60s rolling into it off the line. But both times I broke it, it was down track on the 1-2 or 2-3 shifts.

Go do some bracket racing! My old setup I was running 13.0 @ 109. People will think they have you covered at the 1000' mark and back off, then you go tearing past them the last 100'! :twisted:

let me drive it....low 12s will be had

The price to drive it will equal the cost of a Dana S60, Moser 12-Bolt, or Strange 9"

Told you that you would be drag racing it!!!!

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a slouch in a straight line :mrgreen:

Once I knock off a sub 12 second or faster time slip I'll be happy and have it out of my system, but now I've got the bug to obtain those times.

If you wanna knock off a sub 12 second slip, your gonna need tires and some prayers (for the 10 bolt).

back in december of 05' I ran a 12.97 @ 110 mph in my 98 m6 with a lid/catback new clutch and 17" street tires, full weight. how come your times are slower? your mph is a lil higher but timewise, its slower. dont get much seat time at the track?

I beg to differ there. i broke my first 10bolt in march or april of 06 on street tires!

it was his first time out on a drasticly new setup and i dont think he had all that much track time under his ass to begin with
