Your MPH is pretty good. Granted it probably won't be quite that high if you stick, but even in an M6 you should be well into the 12's with a good launch and proper driving. Even on street tires you should be able to coax at least a 2.0-2.1 60'. With the "drag radials" and better driving you should see mid-high 12's. Probably mid 12's if you have a new rear end and a strong clutchm.

Drag tires will get you into the 12's. Your R/T are pretty bad. Drag tires should fix that. You'll be doing 12.8 very soon.

R/T has nothing to do with his ET, his 60' does. Get those .4 tenths off your 60' and you'll be in mid 12s easy.

I 60ft 2.0s on street tires all day. Get that 60ft down man. I know track prep has alot to do with how hard you can launch, but your car is capable of 12s easy, without stickies.

I was stuck in the low 13's for a while, until last night when I ran Nitto's for the first time. Took my 60ft time from a 2.19 best down to a 1.805. Ran a best time of 12.695 @ 105.77. Traction is the BOMB!!!!!

Your 60' is killing you. Work on your launch. Try going off idle. My guess is your spinning tire too much. My best is 12.7 @ 111, w/1.96 60'. I ran 12.8 @ 111, w/ street tires and a 2.00 60'.

Also, what tire pressure are you running on. I went down to 22# in my street tires.

You should try going up on a ET series day, they have a street class with less then 50 cars in it.

And those skinnies you sold me droped my time by .3 in the 1/4.

big *** nittos took 1\2 sec off my 60 foot ........then they twisted up my diff.

so yea mabye some lca brackets and nittos and you should be able to substantally lower your 60' which really seems to be your biggest prob as of now....

If you can keep your 10 bolt together it should get you there. I definitely like my E/T Street Radials. The last time I ran my car hooked so hard I accidentally pulled the car out of gear on the launch. That was embarrassing. And that was at 20-22 psi of air pressure!

I also got a nice souvenir that day: http://motorcitynationals.com/v-web/...7/RootBeer.jpg

As others have said 2.0 60' which should be easy on DR will easily get you into 12's cause the 111mph is really good.

Also your RT is prob great if it a 0.5 tree... pro-tree is 0.0 if I'm not mistaken.

Low 12's in a stalled A4 that hooks and pulls a LOT better 60' than his. Not in an M6 though, and especially not with no real clutch, rear end OR tires.

Thats the truth, m6 cars always trap at a higher mph than a4. Whether their e.t. is as fast or not. I mean, look at the times in my sig. And im no where near his mph! But you can also see my 60ft says im hookin like a ***** *****! GL on hittin the 12s man!

Like they all said. Get some dral radials. Put it this way, I run @ 112 mph with a 2.118 60' and pulled a 12.84. Of course with drag radials. You need to ride the clutch more. I pretty much rev it to like 4k and ride it outta the hole on street tires. I pulled a 13.06 on street tires riding the clutch.
