Default My first 12s experience

Hey guys -

This is the first time I have managed to get into the 12s. Best time is listed in sig. What i was most impressed with was my consistancey (sp?). I took 5 runs..

1 13.0 @ 110.6
2. 12.94 @ 110.7
3 12.86 @ 111.06
4. 12.92 @ 111.04
5. 12. 87@111.01

all pretty much with a 1.9 and 2.0 60'

This was much better then i used to do. I used to be all over the 13s so i was pretty proud of myself.

Would like to push the car to 12.5 or 12.6 on current setup. Is that asking to much?

Now that I'm there, i need more mods...

Yes, it was at Orlando Spin World..

Good Job on hitting that 12.6. Especially on the street tires.

Did your buddy ever hit his 10.90?

@ ryan00SS: what did you end up running, you have the cam I'm looking into.

Ill be going back in the coming weeks to try and push my car at its current setup to the max. I'll let you know when i head up there again. After i get bored of that ill start modding again..

i couldnt get a clean run in. only ran twice. first run i spun on my shitty sumitomos and my clutch stuck halfway after i shifted into 3rd. next run my clutch slipped real bad off the line and it locked me out of 3rd and the pedal stuck to the floor lol. im gettin a new master cylinder to try and get rid of some of these problems. My clutch has a real mushy feel to the pedal all the time now. But on the street, the car drives excellent and i love my cam. its got great power all throughout the powerband and still drives like stock. If i was to do it again though i would go with a 112 LSA instead of 114. It supposed to be better for M6 cars and a have a little more lopey idle. oh and congrats on your runs btw. good times

Congrats on your runs. The track here opens April 2nd for a street night and I am getting excited to run my car. Hope I can get a decent ET in like you did.
