12 Second Club - first time in the 12s

took the trans am too the track for the first time last night. 3rd pass ran a 12.97@108 mph had a blast and now i have the i need more power fever!! cant wait to i do some more mods and get some more track time to see what i can get out off the old bird.

Wow congrats! Pretty impressive for first time being out.

What mods are done and what tires were you on? M6 or A4? What were the 60' and 1/8th mile times?

Nice pass.

mac mids,no cats,borla catbac,ls7 clutch,torque arm and lower control arms nitto 555 tires@ 23.0 psi thru a 6speed .8749 reaction time 1.9669 60ft 1/8th 8.4269@85 mph

Cool, we're they the 555R's or the street tire? Drop those mids and get some LT's, you'll notice a good difference.

they were the street tires. the headers were on it when i got the car or it would of had longtubes but their fine for now. next mod is a rearend 10 bolt scares me everytime i leave the line lol

At 108 MPH with a good 60 ft, you could be in the 12.40s or little better Id do some work on the 60 ft times.

yeah i think with a little time ill do ok it was only my 3rd pass ever so ill say i did alright.first pass was a 15.2@102 lol

improve your reaction time. that will also help. my first time at the track my reaction time was round same as your. second time i went and so onmy reaction time avgs .1100 to .0800.

one older guy at the track gave me tips on reading the lights and since then reaction time is great...but 60ft is 2.2XXX:(

Reaction doesnt really hurt your ET the clocks don't start til you break the beams, As a general rule (not iron clad) for every tenth reduction on 60 ft tims you can drop your Et by 2 tenths. again just a general rule.

His reaction time doesn't matter unless he's bracket racing. When first going to the track reaction time shouldn't even be an object.

He should just be focusing on his launches at this point. Especially with an M6, little more work than just rolling on the right pedal in an A4. If anything the 60' needs to come down as that will yield the most benefit in the way of ET.

Good times - mod that baby and drop those ET's man

thanks i feel dumb now hahah
