it's been a long time coming! 12s! Went out to the new ZMax drag strip tonight here in Concord, NC. Wasn't going to run at first but got peer pressured into going home and getting the car so I did. Came back and got a few races in.
Out of the 3 races I got I only got a time slip for the first, which ironically enough was my best run, and my 12 second slip.
RT: .756
60': 2.129
1/8: 8.541
MPH: 87.26
ET: 12.99
MPH: 111.51
The other two runs I ran some friends a was nervous and launched horribly and ran like a 13.0 and 13.4. I'm just glad at actually hitting 12s, granted this was my best 60' yet, I think if I cut it to under a 2.0 60' I'll hit 12.7s at ~113/4ish. Next time to the track I'm going to borrow a friends 275 Nitto DRs and unbolt the sway bar endlinks and see what happens. My 315 Nitto 555s DID hook up but I hated cleaning them off and wearing them down since they're brand new and were quite a pretty penny.

Thanks man.
This week I'm going to be heading out again with a set of nitto DRs and see what I can do. My goal is 12.7s.
In retrospect, my friend has the exact same motor setup that I have and he snagged a 1.7 or 1.8 60' and ran a 12.3 I believe when his car was a 6 speed. Now he's swapped to a built auto and when I went out there last week he came and ran his persoanl best of 12.23 @ 111 on a 1.69 60'.
Granted he's got a bone stock suspension with MTs out back and I have a rigid a$$ suspension setup for turns, but still I guess it gives me a glimps of what the car could do if setup right. haha.
