12.788 at 118.80 mph I ran my c5z on the normal Firestone wide oval tires. 295-35-18 out back.
I only scuffed/ cleaned the tires, meaning no burn out. On a warm day around 80 degrees,
spinning 1,2, and finally violently accelerating through 3rd.
On some drag radials it will be a different story.
R/T= .525
60'= 2.443
330= 5.873
1/8 mile= 8.588 @ 90.28 mph
1/4 mile= 12.788 @ 118.79 mph

No offense, but 12.7 seems really slow for the kind of power you're putting down. I just put the Firestone Wide ovals on my Camaro. They're a good tire, soft sidewall, but have good traction. Of course my car isn't over 400HP, so I don't really have traction issues. My 60' was something like 2.0 or 2.1 I think.

1274 for DA when I researched it...
I got talked into running the car in full street mode... 3/4 tank, normal tire pressure, and a 2400 rpm launch that bogged bad leaving the line.
Did I set records? Not even close, Im just saying that drag radials and a real launch (3500 rpm) it would be an 11 second car. Spinning that bad and im still trapping over 118 ...come on now..

No way it helped, i peddled the car because it was walking around off the line...
I fear wheel hopping it, that causes the differential case to crack so i wasnt aggressive or power shifting the car
The car isnt slow by any means, Ranger was running 11.70's on drag radials .... with everything else stock...
I just need seat time...
