New best today!
Went to Lapeer Dragway today to find out how much the new 4:10 gears in the DTS 12 bolt worked. Well, it's less than I expected, but overall, I'm happy. Ran the car 3 times, last two times sucked, missed third gear (it sometimes just hangs beween 2nd and 3rd) and then the stupid ASR OFF light went "off" during the launch. This has happened before, I don't know why, but I've got to look into it. As for the first run, the best run, the car launched hard, 60' time was 1.884, reaction time wasn't bad, .668, 1/8th et was 8.459 @ 88.47 mph. 1/4 mile et was 12.869 at 109.56 mph. It was about 80 degrees and pretty sunny out today. The only problem I saw on that run was just before crossing the traps, the shift light came on. I knew it was only at 5800 rpm so I just kept my foot into it. I really think if i could drive this thing consistantly, a 12.5 is possible. Do you guys think it's possible?
