12's on street tires fella's the best i ever went on street tires (kuhmo ecsta 245/50zr16) with a heads and cam car (lt1) and 12 lbs of air was a 12.401 @108.95 and a 60 ft time on 1.56. the next 2 passes were low 12.5's and low 1.6 60 fts. the next weekend i cam out a little harder cause the track was hookin' alot better and POW i crapped out a 10 bolt!!!!!!!!!!! 12's can be accomplished on street tires.

I ran a 12.7 @109 last year on 275/40/17 Ventus tires. They came on the car when i bought it, and I have never heard of them. If I can run 12's on them, anything is possible. And that was with a 2.1 60ft.

Well I use to be able to run 12.5@ 114 on street tires w/ basic bolt ons but those days are over.. Maybe I can break 12's again when I figure out how to launch with the stall.

I must drive like ****. First time at the track lastnight and got in 3 runs. My best for the night was 13.3 @ 110 with a 2.2 60'. I'm on some bald *** Falkens, but i think I still should have done better. What's everyone dumping off the clutch at?

im going to need a mods list (like what made it capable of that ,. suspension wise) and maybe even a video before i consider that true.

Very good point. My M/T DR's should be here Wednesday. Should have the intake on by then so maybe I'll have a much better 12 on DOT tires...lol

I ran a best of 12.6 @ 115.5mph with a 2.2 60' with street tires, and a fu*cked clutch. That was my first time to the track. I have not been back yet with my new clutch.
