Best 60' time in a V1? Those of us who are brave/stupid enough to take our cars to the drag strip what is everyones best 60' time? Also list supporting traction mods.
I'll start
1.99- BFG Drag radials, full BMR wheel hop kit and pinion brace. Bogging off the line and it was my second pass ever in the car. I have the updated diff, and stock axles.

Breaking the diff is always in the back of my mind, but even with my stock axles I have very little to no wheel hop. The only time it hops is on a wet road.
My main point in posting this thread is because I'm curious how much abuse the newer diffs can take with no wheel hop.
If Gforce1320 comes out with a more affordable diff swap option I plan on ordering it. Then once the new diff comes in, taking my car to the strip one last time (on a trailer
) for a final run with the stock diff and some 3-4k rpm clutch dumps.

i order the gforce rear axles, and i was really impressed with the feel (in my hand) of them. i just need to get them in the rear end of the car.
i dont have much wheel hop, but i have very subtle bounce on some harder launches. but i wanted to be more safe then sorry. so i got the axles and the UUC rear diff bushing just to help make it last longer. i am not planning on running her down the strip a lot, but every now and then. because i already get a kick out of the look on the guys in camaros and mustangs when "this little ole CTS" beats them down the road.

Yeah I dont have any wheel hop with the Kars III brace on there but I've already broke an inner CV. I'd hate to drive it out there just to be towed home. I mean that happens enough on the street lol
gonna try that next time

I try to keep mine around 2.1-2.2 to play it safe. I've got ~12 passes on the car when it was bone stock. 3k sliping the clutch and granny shifting the 1-2...im paranoid..haha. Once I finish the car I'll be trailering it to the track so if I break it, its ok
