Default I got killed by a Focus.

It was his first 13 second run.

Running 11 psi, I believe. That was the same side of the abysmal track I ran a 13.7 on.

It's a very respectable car. Just thought I'd share one of my few deaths.

Not just a turbo. Saleen actually done the kit for him, the car really is impressive. Some slicks and a good track and that car will be nice.

I still out-trapped him.

Too bad the Focus looked so ugly. You lost the race on the 60 foot!

CAI, Magnaflow mufflers, 3650 lbs with me in the car, tune; car was running like ***, track was crap, weather was crap, left lane was a total bust, the GT-R they're talking about just about bit the wall at the 1/8 mile. The right lane was a little bit better. I was losing traction shifting into second, a friend of mine, in a boosted 240, spun the whole way down. Hopefully the new, better, track will be opening soon.

Weather, track prep, a lot of things factor into E.T.'s. He ended up running 13.7 that day though.

It's a PITA to launch... My wheels are spray painted, just like my car.

I'm still shooting for at least mid-13s, I just have to find a better track.

I typically only lose traction in second during rain, like I said it spun in second out there.

I was thinking about doing something with my wheels as they are FUCKED. What kind of paint did you use. I want them to be flat.

Duplicolor... They have wheel paint. You can try PlastiDip first.
